YouGov Weekly Tracking Poll: Clinton+2

If the 2016 presidential election were being held today and the candidates were Hillary Clinton, the Democrat, Donald Trump, the Republican, Gary Johnson, the Libertarian, and Jill Stein, from the Green Party, who would you vote for?

Hillary Clinton: 40% (-2)
Donald Trump: 38% (-2)
Gary Johnson: 7% (+2)
Jill Stein: 2% (-1)
Someone else: 2%
Not sure yet: 9%
Probably won't vote: 2%

This poll seems to still use registered voters, not likely voters.

Yep, polls don't mean much until after the debates. Then it's make it or break it time. Fla Dem Sep 2016 #2

Polls right now are just a vehicle the MSM uses to create news, particularly "National Polls" where they show HRC and Trump neck to neck. HRC is leading in the Electoral counts and that's the only count that matters.
