Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are again tied up in a head-to-head matchup.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds Trump and Clinton each earning 38% support. Sixteen percent (16%) say they will vote for some other candidate if they are the two major party candidates, while six percent (6%) plan to stay home. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on April 25-26, 2016 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

Can't be true. I was just reading comments on here about how Trump will be absolutely destroyed in November.

This is obviously some sort of fake poll for propaganda purposes.

Until this result is confirmed by other pollsters, it must be considered an outlier.  It is out of sync with every poll taken in the last 45 days.

Rasmussen has always been the most Republican-leaning of the major pollsters. It is probably a little bit of an outlier.

But both major candidates under 40% is the real story here. An effective third party could make a major impact this time around.

Unfortunately, IIRC, Rasmussen also had Romney beating Obama didn't it? This might be as prescient as "toe sucker" Dick Morris.

Since Scott Rasmussen left the polling firm that bears his name in 2012, Rasmussen has been pretty erratic.

The latest GWU/Battleground poll has Clinton by only 3, within the MOE. Dated 4/25

That is two polls during this week, showing the gap closing. This is mounting empirical evidence.

Deny if you must. But it won't go away.
