CBS/YouGov Poll: Clinton +3 (unchanged)

[democrattotheend]

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump remain in a close race for the Presidency, with essentially the same levels of support as they have had for much of the fall. The advantage in the latest Economist/YouGov Poll remains with Clinton, who leads among likely voters (as well as among all registered voters) by three percentage points. This close contest has seen only incremental changes once the fall began, despite negative information that could have affected both campaigns. These two candidates seem to have fixed images and fixed levels of support among most of the voting public.



Among all registered voters, 45% now say they will vote for the Democrat, 42% for the Republican in the four-way contest. Looking only at likely voters, Clinton’s share is 46%, Trump’s 43%. The Libertarian and Green Party candidates receive 4% and 2% respectively. 4% expressed no preference. Clinton’s biggest lead in the Economist/YouGov polls since the two party conventions has been only six points.

Poll conducted October 30 - November 1, so post-Comey announcement. Overall somewhat relieving but it's frustrating that her honesty scores took such a big hit even though the newly discovered e-mails weren't even hers and may be duplicates. The media has really bungled this story by not making that clearer.

1. While good, it is a national poll, and especially at this stage it is the electoral college

where the action is

Bloomberg reported something similar this morning, along with a slight lead for Hillary among Independents which is also good

3. I will totally take it a Nice stable race.

HRCs numbers steady with Johnson voters defecting evenly to Trump and Clinton. Nothing scary about that trend line at all.
