WITH THREE DAYS TO GO – AT 11:24 A.M. ET: Not much excitement in the poll results this morning.
The national polls appear to be stabilizing around a small Clinton lead. Very small indeed. The new Fox poll is typical:
Hillary Clinton has a 2-point edge over Donald Trump with less than a week before the election.
That’s according to a new national Fox News Poll of likely voters conducted Tuesday-Thursday.
In the four way race, Clinton tops Trump by a 45-43 percent margin. She was up by three points a week ago (44-41 percent) and by six in mid-October (45-39 percent). Gary Johnson gets 5 percent and Jill Stein two percent. Only four percent are undecided.
Without third-party candidates in the mix, Clinton is ahead by just one point: 46-45 percent. She was up five points in the two-way last week (49-44 percent, October 22-25).
IBD/TIPP has the race tied at 44-44 for the fourth straight day.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump remained all tied for the fourth straight day, 44% to 44%, despite continuing revelations surrounding the FBI's investigation into Clinton's emails and a possible "pay for play" scandal at the family Clinton Foundation, according to the latest IBD/TIPP presidential tracking poll.
Rasmussen doesn't report on weekends. L.A. Times, which has leaned more toward Trump during this campaign than any other poll, has him up 5.3 points.
But the state polls should now be in the spotlight, as we vote by states on Tuesday. (We actually have never had a national election.) State polls are more difficult to read. They're not taken as often as national trackers, of course. But a number of battleground states seem to be moving toward Trump. Whether he has the time until Tuesday to win them is an iffy proposition.
