Donald Trump closed a 12-point polling gap with Hillary Clinton in five days, leaving them half a percent apart during the next two-day period, according to new polling data from Reuters.
On August 22, Clinton led Trump by 12 points, 44.8 percent to 32.8 percent. By Aug. 27, the two candidates were neck and neck, according to Reuters.

By Aug. 29, Trump had nudged up again to 39.1 percent, while she was at 39.7 percent. He gained 6.7 points, while she lost 5.1 points during the entire seven-day period.

Twenty percent of the respondents declined to pick either of the two leaders in the poll of 1,397 likely voters, which was concluded Aug .29.

Trump’s support among Republicans climbed from 71 percent up to 78.3 percent. Clinton’s support among Democrats dipped slightly from 81.6 percent to 78.5 percent.

The poll reflects a general trend, in which Trump has managed to close much of the gap that Clinton opened in early August.

In July, Reuters sharply changed how it presented polling data, political strategist Pat Caddell told Breitbart Radio. “It is, beyond doubt, the most outrageous thing,” he declared.

Behind the poll, here is the breakdown:

Dems polled: +4 over GOP

Women 58/Men 42

Bottom line: Trump is STILL behind the most hated candidate the Rats ever fielded.........because he is the most hated candidate the GOP ever ran.

Considering Trumpbart, uh I mean Breitbart's association with campaign, I think anything that site states is subject to skepticism.

The fact that Trump is in Arizona and Pence is in Georgia, two states that should be easy wins for a GOP nominee, is testament that this race is looking like a Hillary landslide.

At the end of the day ot really doesn't matter where they land in a national poll because we have an electoral system and Trump has pretty much no path to an electoral victory.

We should be skeptical, however, this is a reference to Reuters' poll, so you might want to be skeptical of Reuters instead of Breitbart in this case.

Something's up with Ipsos this cycle.  These wild swings in such a short period of time are not reflective of a stable methodology.

Be suspicious of any outliers and this is definitely an outlier.

So we supposed to give credibility to Brietbart for only citing outlier polls to make this thing sound close?

Whatever dude.
