Rasmussen: Clinton Ahead is a Tie, Trump Ahead is a "Lead"
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are still running neck-and-neck as they prepare for their second debate on Sunday night.
The latest Rasmussen Reports White House Watch national telephone and online survey finds Clinton with 43% support among Likely U.S. Voters and Trump with 42%. Yesterday, Trump had a two-point lead, 43% to 41%.

When Trump is up by two points it's a "lead". When Clinton is ahead by one, it's a tie. Even the headline says "Clinton Closes the Gap", not "Clinton Takes the Lead".
