Poll shows Trump gaining on Clinton

By Daniel Halper

August 10, 2016 | 8:08am

Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump is shrinking, with a new poll released Wednesday showing her margin down to 4 points.

Clinton notched 44 percent to Trump’s 40 percent in the Bloomberg Politics poll, which had Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson at 9 percent, while Green Party candidate Jill Stein tallied 4 percent.

The same poll last month had Clinton with a much larger lead, with the Democrat at 49 percent, Trump at 37 and Johnson at 9 percent.

The pollsters found that a whopping 75 percent of respondents are bothered by Trump’s criticism of the family of Army Capt. Humayun Khan, who blasted the Republican nominee as unfit at the Democratic National Convention.

But an even greater number of those surveyed — 78 percent — are bothered by Clinton’s handling of her private email server.

RE: Poll shows Trump gaining on Clinton

National Polls are for me, NOT VERY USEFUL.

See Bush vs Gore for instance.

The elections are won at the state level. I'd like to see how Trump is doing in the critical battleground states.

These two should be on blended knee thanking The Lord that they have to face each other this election cycle and not other candidates.

Trump is in decline there, too. Per RCP, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin are firmly under Hillary's jackboot.  In new, formerly red battleground states like Georgia, NC and AZ, Hillary is building small leads there too.

State polling is notoriously less reliable than national polls.  The more localized likely voter demographics are a lot harder to get right.

OTOH, it only going to be a issue if the election is close.
