Donald Trump leading in Polls November 2016 ?

A tracking poll conducted by ABC News/Washington show that Trump is now within just one point of the Ex First Lady and Secretary of State by 46-45%.

Another poll conducted by Upshot/Siena shows Donald Trump leading in Florida by 4 points, 46-42%, the survey undertaken between October 25-27 of 815 likely voters, is good news for the businessman, following a very bad week for Hillary clinton, in which the FBI anounced that new emails had emerged in the investigation about her use of a private server.

Clinton is Winning September 2016

As the presidential campaign continues to progress towards it`s conclusion with voting that will take place on November 8, both sides are becoming increasingly desperate to sway undecided voters, especially in key swing states.

Donald Trump has recently begun to reach out to the African American community repeatedly saying "What do you have to lose?", referring to the high crime rates and economic depression within the inner cities.

Clinton then went on the counter attack, claiming that a certain proportion of Trump voters were "deplorables" and "racists, sexists, homophobes, islamophobes, you name it", although she later apologized for the remarks.

Added to this, are now legitimate concerns about the Democrat Candidate`s health, after having left the 9/11 memorial service after feeling "unwell", a video later released showed her barely able to stand and being helped into a waiting van by a number of secret service agents.

The latest RealClearPolitics average (polls conducted between August 26- September 11)

Hillary Clinton  45.9%
Donald Trump  42.9%

Trump vs Clinton Polls August 2 2016

As we can see the latest average of polls conducted by RealClearPolitics shows Hillary Clinton has retaken the lead over Republican candidate Donald Trump.

RCP Average (July 22-31)

Hillary Clinton  44.9%
Donald Trump  42.7%

So Clinton now has a lead of 2.2% largely due to two new polls conducted by CBS News and PPP which produced the following results.

CBS News Poll July 29-31, Margin of Error 3.0%, 1131 RV

Hillary Clinton  47%
Donald Trump  41%

PPP Poll, July 29-30, Margin of Error 2.7%, 1276 LV

Hillary Clinton  50%
Donald Trump  45%

Despite the fact that Trump has fallen behind once again he is still much closer to the democrat contender than he had been for much of July when Clinton`s lead fluctuated between 3-5% before Trump was the apparent beneficiary of a "convention bounce" at the end of the month when he moved into a 1% lead.

Most commentators and members of the public have been forced to admit, love him or loathe him, Donald Trump`s political resilience has been breathtaking. After overcoming a plethora of scandals during the Republican Primaries and facing a "Never Trump" movement from within the party, he has continued to dumbfound political gravity by running Clinton close in many polls. Polling from within the last month even showed him with slight leads in Pennsylvania and Florida and level in Ohio.

Although polling is our only real indicator of who is winning in the race for the White House, they have proven to be extremely volatile thus far. For example Clinton was shown to be leading in by 8 points in Florida and within just a few weeks Trump was shown to be in the lead by 1 point in the vital state.
