Clinton falls behind Trump in new poll

Donald Trump pulled ahead of Hillary Clinton in a new poll Thursday showing voters favoring him 43 to 39 percent.

“The tables have turned in this week’s White House Watch,” Rasmussen Reports said in a statement. “After trailing Hillary Clinton by 5 points for the prior two weeks, Donald Trump has now taken a 4-point lead.”

But a Fox News poll taken at roughly the same time showed Clinton leading 44 to 38 percent.

And the RealClearPolitics average of national polls showed Clinton ahead by 4.8 percentage points.

Trump said Thursday that, judging by the size of his crowds, the polls should be turning in his direction.

“We have thousands of people standing outside trying to get in, and they’re great people and they have such spirit for the country and love for the country, and I’m saying, you know, ‘Why am I not doing better in the polls?’,” Trump told radio host Mike Gallagher on his show.
