Seems like Trump is making a comeback.

Shameful country.

It was Clinton +2 on 9/28, so I'll take it.

I'm skeptical. George Stephanopolous usually tweets about the ABC/WaPo the day before his Sunday show. There was no such tweet today.

I'll believe it when I see it, especially coming from Drudge.

[Southern Delegate matthew27]

Sad,

monster is within 4 points of becoming our next president..

[Devils30]

4 is well within the range of statistical noise

[OneJ]

But the state polls (particularly from swing states like NC & FL) don't indicate that Hillary's lead has eroded.

[heatcharger]

Well ABC Politics just tweeted about it two minutes ago. What a coincidence.

First - Dems need to chill - plus this has regularly been one of Clinton's worst major polls. I think it's an outlier

[Ronnie]

A four point lead is solid.  I don't know why people here have their panties in a twist.

Dems here chill? Are you new here?

Clinton +4 is a totally normal poll result in a Clinton +7 national environment, so even if Drudge is accurate, it wouldn't bother me until we got further polling confirming a tight national race.  

But yes, I want to wait for a source other than Drudge.

[PresidentSamTilden]

538 adjusted the last one (C+2 on 9/28) by 2 points to C+4. This would probably be adjusted to C+5 or 6, which is really pretty stable with what we've been seeing recently.

[ApatheticAustrian]

@ronnie....to think that the race has tightened in the middle of trump-mageddon would just be pure madness.

[Gass3268]

4 is well within the range of statistical noise

Exactly, she's up anywhere between 6-8% on average. 4% totally within that range just the same way the NBC +11 was.

Also it's a 2 point improvement since their last poll and it's Drudge.

I know... but the pant-wetting is never not irritating

I agree.  We'll see if Monmouth corroborates the result on Monday at 10 AM, but I have no reason to worry regardless.

which is kind of interesting since it's an A+ pollster.

This must be their secret sauce that lets them push super close toplines.

Hold on, is there a reason everyone is taking drudge's number at face value? Hasn't he routinely posted exit poll or poll teasers that are off?

Drudge wouldn't lie about it.  He probably has access to tomorrow's Washington Post right now.  In some places, you can get an early edition of the Sunday paper on Saturday night.
