Donald Trump just took the lead in a major national poll for the first time in roughly six weeks.
In a Rasmussen poll released Thursday, Trump held a 4-point lead over presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Of the 1,000 likely voters surveyed, the presumptive Republican nominee won over 43% of support, compared with Clinton's 39%.
The margin of error was plus or minus 3 percentage points. The poll was a combined phone and online survey.
The poll is the first in which Trump has led Clinton since mid-May, when Trump held a 2-point lead in an ABC News/Washington Post poll.
The Rasmussen poll breaks a streak of 22 consecutive polls Clinton has topped Trump in.

It appears Rasmussen will continue their shoddy polling work in this election season, as they did in the last one. Can you say Outlier?

let me give you a taste of whats really happening behind the scenes,,, I own a salon, I have several hundred clients,,, maybe even 300,, ive asked almost everyone who are they voting for,,,(99% women). and the number is 60%ish trump,,, 40% hillary,, so I ask them do they ever discuss it with their friends?'hujsbands? or family,,, and the hillary voters say yes,,, and the Trumpers say no,,,, I dont know why this year there is soooo much Vitrial, and fury over this election?? but they just dont want to deal with it,, the blowback, and hate,,,
They say its just so much easier voting their conscience,,, and just not talking about it,,, or saying yes,,, im voting hillary,,,
my guess is that 2 issues are happening here,,, the one I just raised,,, where people just dont want to DEAL WITH ADMITTING TTHEY WANT TRUMP,, (hence polling numbers are off)
ANNNND,, the fact hillary has spent 150 million bucks in the last 4 weeks putting up hate ads,,, where trump has put up none???
those polling numbers are deceiving.

Hilarious how delusional these trump heads are.
There can 49 polls saying Clinton is winning and 1 poll that says trump. They gonna ignore the other 49 and start a thread about the one poll that has him leading. Lol
comedy gold. Happens every 4 years

And your the same guy that swore 50 pages long in the Trump will fall hard thread that he will never win the Republican nomination.....And when he won you disappeared......Stop with the predictions bro.
Nope, I hoped he wouldn't win, and hoped there would be a brokered convention. Unfortunately for the R's, my hopes didn't happen, and they're stuck with the clueless idiot. You ruined that thread, it is unreadable.
I'm not making any predictions yet, except the winner will win by double digits. The numbers in October will guide my prediction on who that winner will be. Right now it's likely Hillary. In the meantime, I'll hope to scalp the hell out of it.
as per my above mention,,, this election has made americans EMBARRESED to vote pro american,,
I have probably the greatest handle on regional economic reality than most here,, also that of women/Hispanics being in AZ,,, Hillary will lose in a landslide,, just as allllll the other republicans did in the primary,,, it will be embarresing,, and I will cash my 9-1 trump ticket,, and my 5-1 ticket,, and my 2.5 to 1 ticket,,
good luck to the sore losers that take hillary,,,
the one great thing with YOUR hillary loss,,, lol,, is that you will benefit from a Pro american trump presidency
what are you, 26 years old? I thought you had a little more worldly experience
didn't realize you were still a kid
and being a kid is not a bad thing either, lucky you
