Poll shows Hillary Clinton losing ground with voters, Donald Trump within margin of error
The Washington Times, September 4, 2016, Valerie Richardson




Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump continues to cut into Democrat Hillary Clinton’s lead, according to a poll released Sunday.

A Morning Consult survey released Sunday found Mrs. Clinton ahead by 42 percent to 40 percent, within the 2 percentage point margin of error, while Mr. Trump has gained ground in each of the last four polls.

In a Morning Consult poll conducted three weeks ago, Mr. Trump trailed by 7 percentage points. The survey released Sunday was conducted Sept. 1-2.

Mr. Trump also improved his standing in the USC Dornsife/Los AngelesTimes daily tracking poll, which found him ahead Sunday by 45 percent to 42.4 percent after overtaking Mrs. Clinton on Aug. 29.

While polling has been volatile in the 2016 presidential race, the RealClearPolitics average shows Mrs. Clinton leading by 3.9 percentage points in national surveys.

The Morning Consult poll found that a significant number of voters are still up for grabs, with 18 percent saying they are undecided or have no opinion with the election just two months away.

Trump has not "gained ground."  He is stuck between 38 and 42%.  Hillary has lost ground. 

Donald Trump is making no progress with any of the groups listed in the poll.  More are falling into the "undecided" column, which means they see no reason to vote for Trump or simply can't stomach him. 

Hillary still leads in the RCP average by 4 and is ahead in every battleground state.  Trump has done nothing to make voters move toward him; Hillary has done plenty to make voters move away from her.

If you look state to state the "other" category is bigger than it has ever been.

No, it is not.

No, it is not.

Actually, 18 percent undecided is the highest number in the Morning Consult poll this season.   Notice that Trump never goes higher than 42% in any poll but that very questionable LA Times poll (which is an outlier as it is the only one showing Trump with a lead). 

Meanwhile, in an effort to facilitate party unity in Arizona, Trump has been on a rampage against Jeff Flake, who is very popular:

The Great State of Arizona, where I just had a massive rally (amazing people), has a very weak and ineffective Senator, Jeff Flake. Sad!

The Republican Party needs strong and committed leaders, not weak people such as @JeffFlake, if it is going to stop illegal immigration.

Ground game, data op, campaign offices - ❌
Tweeting about things he sees on TV that make him mad? MAGA - ✔️
