Clinton vs Trump Polls May 29 2016





Ever since Donald Trump burst onto the political scene with his announcement that he would be running for president, his detractors mocked and derided the flamboyant businessman. Many even thought it was a joke or publicity stunt. However, having just officially surpassed the required delegate count and being the Republican Party`s presumptive nominee, he looks to be the one who will take on Hillary Clinton in the presidential election.

The latest polls show that Trump is closing the gap on Clinton with the latest RealClearPolitics average putting her on 43.8% compared to 42.8% for Trump. Should these numbers continue over the summer and into the autumn then we could be in for close run race in November.

UK EU Referendum Polls May 19 2016


The latest polls for the EU referendum due to take place in the UK on June 23rd are beginning to show that the remain camp has the edge. Many polls conducted online in recent weeks have been showing "leave" with a slight advantage, however all polls that are conducted via telephone seem to show a big advantage for "remain".

However, in last years general election both online and telephone polling proved to be incorrect and some analysts believe that the anonimity of online polling allows respondents to give a more honest answer. Turnout will likely also be a key factor in the referendum.

Polls Republican vs Democrat May 19 2016

As Donald Trump continues to consolidate the support of the Republican Party behind him and the "Never Trump" campaign appears to be losing steam, the real estate mogul is now increasingly taking aim at likely democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

Most pundits believe it is now impossible for Democratic Socialist Bernie Sanders to win the nomination with Hillary Clinton continuing to accumulate delegates despite the Vermont Senator winning quite a few states. Although many of his supporters continue to believe he can somehow overcome the deficit by bringing superdelegates over to his cause, it is time to accept reality. The presidential election will be contested by Trump and Clinton.

With this in mind, it is the time to start focusing on the polls between these two and who is the most likely to become the next president of the United States.

Here are the latest 2 polls and they show a lead for Clinton of between 2-6% over the Republican candidate.
