Republican Donald Trump has a three-point lead in Rasmussen Reports’ White House Watch survey. Among voters who are certain how they will vote, Trump now has over 50% support.

The latest national telephone and online survey of Likely U.S. Voters shows Trump leading Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton 45% to 42%. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson has four percent (4%) support, and Green Party hopeful Jill Stein picks up just one percent (1%). Two percent (2%) like another candidate, and four percent (4%) are still undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Clinton and Trump have been tied for the previous two days.  This is the first time Trump’s been ahead in the White House Watch in nearly two weeks, but it remains to be seen whether this is the start of a trend or a one-day hiccup.

Eighty-eight percent (88%) of voters say they are now certain how they will vote. Among these voters, Trump has a 10-point lead over Clinton – 53% to 43%. Johnson gets two percent (2%) and Stein one percent (1%). This is the first time any candidate has crossed the 50% mark. Among those who still could change their minds, it’s Clinton 36%, Trump 36%, Johnson 22% and Stein six percent (6%).

Rasmussen Reports updates its White House Watch survey daily Monday through Friday at 8:30 am Eastern based on a three-day rolling average of 1,500 Likely U.S. Voters.

Fixed it up for Rasmussen.

The latest national telephone and online survey of Likely U.S. Voters shows the tag team of Trump/Comey leading Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton 45% to 42%.

  Not that there's anything wrong with that.  Clinton is pure Evil, Trump is pure lesser evil.  Still have no dog in this hunt.  Good Luck America.

What's the margin of error?  Any poll that is within the margin of error is useless.

The margin of sampling error is +/- 2.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.

Sounds good to me. Pretty accurate poll, as polls go.
