Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump tied going into conventions - CBS/NYT poll
Source: MSN/CBS
Heading into the two parties' conventions, the race for President is a dead heat, a change from last month when Hillary Clinton led by six points. Forty percent of registered voters now say they will back Clinton (a dip of three points), while 40 percent will vote for Trump (a bump up of three points). A month ago, Clinton led Trump 43 to 37 percent.

Sixty-seven percent of voters now say Clinton is not honest and trustworthy, up from 62 percent last month and the highest percentage this election cycle. Only 28 percent view her as honest. Clinton's ratings on honesty were more positive soon after she announced her presidential bid in April of last year. Also, fewer now say she is prepared for the job of president than did so last month - although half still say she is.
Although Clinton receives lower marks on these attributes compared to last month, views of Trump have not improved on these measures and remain mostly negative. Sixty-two percent of voters don't think he's honest (compared to Clinton's 67 percent), and two-thirds continue to say Trump is not prepared for the job of president, compared to 48 percent who say that about Clinton.
On the email matter specifically, most voters think Clinton did something wrong when she set up a personal email address and server for work while she was Secretary of State, including 46 percent who think what she did was illegal, up slightly from 41 percent last month.

Of course the media has continued to push the meme that Hillary Clinton is not trustworthy even though the FBI did not indict of her lying to the FBI and when you compare the number of falsehoods stated in the course of the campaign, Trump is really breaking new boundaries. Yet, the meme is that Trump tells it like it is. Likewise, the media is portraying the parties' respective platforms as equally extreme. As was the case in 2008 and 2012, the media will strive to portray the candidates in a false equivalent light.

Since the 9/11 tragedy, and here it is years later and their pushing the "Hillary isn't trustworthy meme" almost daily (especially Clinton/Pres. Obama hater Maureen Dowd). So much for them being a "Liberal Publication." Like, tRump is trustworthy 
In my estimation, they and many outlets do want a horse race meme as they're hoping to increase their subscriber base as people are reading newspapers less and less and now digital media is starting to even suffer for some on line publications. Last night, Rachel Maddow was even telling a Dem operative/strategist on her television show that Hillary isn't getting enough out of all of the money she's spending on ads vs tRump etc. because she's struggling in the polls vs tRump, and mind you those Q-Poll numbers are mixed in with the more solid polling so of course Hillary's numbers are going to go down on that account alone. The Q-Poll, as you probably know uses a methodology where they're polling white R's more, also predicting that their numbers come election time will be up 2%, while at the same time they're polling minorities less and predicting that their turn out in this 2016 election cycle will be lower by 2% which in their polling keeps tRump "close" early on in this presidential race. Not saying that there won't be ebbs and flows and the tightening of the race in some polling in this presidential race even though tRump is an atrocious candidate, and even though the media is continuing to do their part in parroting the meme Hillary is untrustworthy, a liar etc., but for tRump to be polling ahead of Hillary in Florida (Says the latest polling coming out of Florida) is ridiculous, especially given that minority registration has vastly increased thanks to all of the racist, nasty bile tRump continues to spew against most minorities. Registration has increased, but those registered folks in Florida now have to VOTE!
Well, at least more people now go elsewhere in search for far more fair, balanced and accurate news investigative/reporting. Not a lot of it exists now-a-days, but it is out there if you look hard enough in finding it.
IS what has sustained me the last several election cycles. IF I had believed polling outfits like Rasmussen or Quinnipiac or even in some instances PPP, or believed these so-called "Liberal media" television shows (Like any ever really existed), I'd have either gone completely gray or pulled my hair out at the roots and I love my hair to much to put it through that 
but it's like boycotting Wal Mart- it feels good, one can get by perfectly well without their crap (I do) but doesn't really do squat in terms of the here and now.
Right now Rasmussen has Trump by, get this, 7 points nationally!.. In July 2012 they had Mitt plus 4pts despite every poll showing otherwise(Rassy went on to be at the bottom of the barrel for 2012 accuracy,btw )
Quinnipiac seems to do the same.
Their effort is based on making it a horse race, especially when most COULD see it's not if they were fair and honest with info...
