NEWTOWN, Pa./NEW YORK (REUTERS) – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump gained on his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton among American voters this week, cutting her lead nearly in half, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling released on Friday (Oct 21).
The polling data showed Trump’s argument that the Nov 8 election is “rigged” against him has resonated with members of his party. “Remember folks, it’s a rigged system,” Trump told a Pennsylvania rally on Friday.
“That’s why you’ve got to get out and vote, you’ve got to watch. Because this system is totally rigged.”
Clinton led Trump 44 per cent to 40 per cent, according to the Oct 14-20 Reuters/Ipsos poll, a 4-point lead. That compared with 44 per cent for Clinton and 37 per cent for Trump in the Oct 7-13 poll released last week.
