Competing polls may have different results but they effectively mean the same thing - Donald Trump is gaining on Hillary Clinton. The latest numbers from Rasmussen Reports show Trump with a widening lead:
The latest Rasmussen Reports weekly White House Watch survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds Trump with 44% support to Clinton’s 37%. Thirteen percent (13%) favor some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided.
Meanwhile the latest CBS/New York Times poll puts the two candidates as tied:
Heading into the two parties' conventions, the race for President is a dead heat, a change from last month when Hillary Clinton led by six points. Forty percent of registered voters now say they will back Clinton (a dip of three points), while 40 percent will vote for Trump (a bump up of three points). A month ago, Clinton led Trump 43 to 37 percent.
These two polls are part of a trend that includes surveys from NBC News, The Economist and McClatchy as showing Trump gaining ground on Hillary. The movement towards Trump started before FBI Director James Comey released his report on Clinton's email scandal.
