<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;" align="center">This presidential campaign is turbulent, to say the least. A few weeks ago, prior to the video leak with suspicious timing of Trump saying some lude comments, he was gaining some ground.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After bringing on the new campaign manager and political strategist, Kellyanne Conway his campaign was taking a step in the right direction. He seemed to have softened his delivery and made significant gains on Clinton in September.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Although he was behind a few weeks ago according to the polling data on Real Clear Politics, there have been some interesting developments.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Fox News&rsquo; poll reported a +3 gain for Clinton (9/27-9/29,) which actually decreased to +2 a week later (103-10/6.) While, data from Reuters/Ipsos shows Clinton&rsquo;s lead increased from +6 (9/29-10/3) to +7 (10/6-10/10.)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Though the most recent data from NBC News/Wall St. Jrnl shows a +9 (10/8-10/10) lead for Clinton, Rasmussen Reports shows a +2 lead for Trump (10/10-10/12.) This polling agency, in particular, saw a +3 lead for Clinton (9/28-10/2,) but then reported a +1 lead for Trump (10/2-10/4.)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">According to the Real Clear Politics data, Clinton now has 260 electoral votes and 165 for Trump. This is a 60-vote spike for Clinton since late September.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Like we have said earlier, polls are not always accurate. Because taking samples to reflect the entire population isn&rsquo;t an easy feat (especially having to do it so often,) the polls inevitably vary. ;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The polls may show that Trump has taken a major hit, but he isn&rsquo;t out of the game just yet.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This month has been a rough one for the candidate. That so called &ldquo;rigged system&rdquo; that Trump often refers to, that Clinton continues to perpetuate, has worked against his favor.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On Monday, Trump pointed to the rigged system again. &#8220;Even the polls are crooked,&#8221; ;said Trump at a Monday night rally. &#8220;Look, we&#8217;re in a rigged system.&#8221;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Clinton has rigged the campaign, just as expected. Most of her efforts have been spent disparaging her opponent, instead of focusing on pointing out what would make her a better president.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With less than a month left of the election, each candidate will have to bring their A game. And Clinton isn&rsquo;t afraid to play dirty.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Trump&rsquo;s team remains hopeful about the election and thinks this dip will eventually pass. &#8220;I think by the time we wake up tomorrow, I think this is probably going to be a dead even race. Maybe even Mr. Trump ahead by a little bit,&rdquo; said Jason Miller, Trump spokesman on Wednesday morning on Fox News. ;</p>
