White House Watch
Thursday, October 13, 2016
The full results from Sunday night’s debate are in, and Donald Trump has come from behind to take the lead over Hillary Clinton.
The latest Rasmussen Reports White House Watch national telephone and online survey shows Trump with 43% support among Likely U.S. Voters to Clinton’s 41%. Yesterday, Clinton still held a four-point 43% to 39% lead over Trump, but that was down from five points on Tuesday and her biggest lead ever of seven points on Monday.
Rasmussen Reports updates its White House Watch survey daily Monday through Friday at 8:30 am Eastern based on a three-day rolling average of 1,500 Likely U.S. Voters. Monday’s survey was the first following the release of an 11-year-old video showing Trump discussing women in graphic sexual detail but did not include any polling results taken after the debate. All three nights of the latest survey follow Sunday’s debate.
Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson has dropped slightly to six percent (6%) support, while Green Party candidate Jill Stein holds steady at two percent (2%). Four percent (4%) still like some other candidate in the race, and another four percent (4%) remain undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Eighty-four percent (84%) now say they are certain how they will vote in this year’s presidential election, and among these voters, Trump posts a 49% to 46% lead over Clinton. Among voters who say they still could change their minds between now and Election Day, it’s Clinton 40%, Trump 37%, Johnson 19% and Stein four percent (4%).

The survey of 1,500 Likely Voters was conducted on October 10-12, 2016 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 2.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

Most Republican voters still think top GOP leaders are hurting the party with their continuing criticism of Trump and are only slightly more convinced that those leaders want Trump to be president.
Trump has 75% support among Republicans, nearly identical to Clinton’s 76% backing among Democrats. He has 15% of the Democratic vote; she picks up 13% GOP support. Trump holds a double-digit advantage among voters not affiliated with either major political party.
Johnson gets 13% of the unaffiliated vote, but like Stein is in low single digits among Democrats and Republicans.
Clinton continues to lead among women, while Trump has regained his advantage among men. Those under 40 still prefer the Democrat but also remain the most undecided. Older voters favor Trump. The older the voter, the more likely he or she is to be certain of their vote.
Trump remains ahead among whites and has a slight lead among other minority voters. He appears to be making a dent in the black vote, but blacks still overwhelmingly favor Clinton.
Ninety (90%) of voters who Strongly Approve of the job President Obama is doing choose Clinton. Among voters who Strongly Disapprove of the president’s job performance, 89% prefer Trump.
Hillary Clinton jumped on the release last week of an 11-year-old video in which Trump makes graphic sexual comments to say it shows her Republican rival’s demeaning attitude toward women. But Trump countered that Clinton was an enabler who allowed her husband, former President Bill Clinton, to sexually assault women for years. We’ll tell you what voters think at 10:30 a.m. Eastern today.
Nearly two-out-of-three voters believe the economy is unfair to the middle class.
Voters are even more likely than they’ve been in the past to say they’ll wait until Election Day to cast their vote.
Only 24%, however, say they’ve ever changed the way they were going to vote after watching the debates between presidential candidates.
Additional information from this survey and a full demographic breakdown are available to Platinum Members only.

Just spoke with James O’Keefe. There is some REALLY bad stuff coming out on Clinton next week. REALLY REALLY bad.

This is something that I dearly hope will put an end to her only concerning herself with making history…
Instead of actually being concerned with SAVING America?!

Best moment of the West Palm Beach rally today spoken by Mr. Trump: “I never thought it would be this vile, this bad, this vicious. I gladly take the slings and arrows for you.”

Doug Schoen is right – he urges Trump to spend $200M on TV advertising to get his big ideas out rather than wasting his time and digging in the dirt put on him by the media. Trump may not have a bigger business decision to make in his life.

We the people do not have to wait until the election and then January 20th to stop Obama from destroying Our Country. All we have to do is to get the cooperation of the Senate Democrats to return control of Our Destinies back to we the people through the legislative process. We need 67 senate votes to override Obama’s veto and end his dictatorship. We could stop everything Obama is doing and stop blaming everybody else for it.

We can’t get to 67 in this election. We will be lucky to retain 54 seats in the senate. Most likely we will end up with 52 after this election

We need to inform the public before it is too late. January 20 is too far off.

A steve McMann talking now on MSNBC is slashing Trump, with his NWO vitriol!
Gates has a lot to answer for someday!
And I hope that Trump wins and he is able to straighten out these slanted TV stations cause this is controlling American life!
Gates really has got a lot of lefties in the payroll!
That’s disgusting!
And this Mindy Tucker Fletcher (a GOP Stratigist???)…Yeah, right! She’s another collared NWO type!
These two parties are corrupt!
And talk about whinners…how about Ryan, and all the “babies” who come on TV to complain about Trump {“Being a real man!}…when do they grow a pair???
