CLINTON'S LEAD SLIPS POST-ORLANDO – AT 11:16 A.M. ET:  Not much of an indicator, except that the polls are not rigid, and are likely to change many times before the election.  From The Hill:

Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump with voters nationwide is eroding after Sunday’s mass shooting, according to a new poll.

Clinton’s edge over Trump has dropped 3.6 points since the massacre in Orlando, according to the Reuters survey out Friday.

Friday’s results found that 10.7 points separate Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, from Trump, her GOP counterpart.

Reuters said Clinton boasted a 14.3-point gap last Sunday, the day of the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.

Pollsters found 45.5 percent of voters now support Clinton, while 34.8 percent back Trump and 19.7 percent pick neither.

Clinton last Sunday registered 46.6 percent before the bloodshed at Pulse nightclub, versus Trump’s 32.3 percent.

Reuters also reported rising enthusiasm for Trump’s temporary ban on Muslim emigration into the U.S. since June started.

Forty-five percent back that measure after last weekend’s attack, versus 41.9 percent who supported it at the start of the month.

Reuters added that 70 percent of Americans now crave at least moderate gun control regulations, up from 60 percent in similar surveys between 2013 and 2014.

COMMENT:  I wouldn't get too enthusiastic about this mini-trend.  Trump is proving to be a very problematical candidate.  If he were more credible, he would be much closer to the highly unpopular Hillary.
