With the final primaries of the 2016 nomination season approaching, a new CNN Poll of Polls finds the candidates most likely to lead their parties into the general election are locked in a tight contest. Hillary Clinton holds an average of 45% support while 43% back Donald Trump across five recent nationwide polls of registered voters.

The polls -- from CNN/ORC, Monmouth University, NBC News and the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post and ABC News, were all conducted after last week's Democratic debate hosted by CNN and Facebook. Here's a look what the polls say about the state of the race: Three of the polls asked about Democrats' performance in their first debate, held October 13 in Las Vegas.

November 28, 2011 -- Updated 0611 GMT (1411 HKT) Cairo (CNN) -- Amid worsening unrest, Egyptians headed to the polls Monday to cast their vote in the first election held since an improbable revolt toppled one of the world's longest-serving rulers. Polls opened at 8 a.m. (1 a.m.

Great news story its great how egypt believes that they can bring themselves about and start voting and without cheating on the polls.

John F. Kennedy is the most popular president of the last half century, according to a new national poll

That was a really cool article..lets you have more on the mind than just school related things..nice job!(:

The article was neat. JFK was a great president. It's just sad that he had die in his early presidency.

Polls confirm a pretty even split on how the nation feels about the acquittal of Donald Trump's impeachment trial.

What's your guys' opinion on this?

It's a bad idea. Why would someone need to bring a gun to a voting site? Just vote and then leave. leave your gun at home for this.

I think it's a bad idea to let people bring guns to voting sites because theirs literally no reason to, there going to vote, and if anything letting people take guns will just make it worse.

the race begins

What a difference a month makes. A new CNN/ORC International poll indicates a dramatic turnaround in the battle for control of Congress in next year's midterm elections. Democrats a month ago held a 50%-42% advantage among registered voters in a generic ballot, which asked respondents to choose between a Democrat or Republican in their congressional district without identifying the candidates.

The poll, from the Pew Research Center, found that 57% of Republican and Republican-leaning registered voters said they have an "excellent" or "good" impression of their party's presidential candidates. That compares to the 50% that viewed the GOP field positively in September of 2007, and the far fewer -- 44% -- that had a favorable view of the field in May of 2011.

Hillary Clinton continues to be a dominant force heading into the 2016 presidential election, according to a new CNN/ORC poll. The former secretary of state maintains a broad lead over the field of potential Democratic challengers she could face in a nomination contest and sizable advantages over the leading contenders from the Republican side in general election match-ups.

I would think what is going on in the media right now can hurt her in the Presidential run because people might think different of her so 2016 could get a little interesting.

Honestly, in my opinion, and take it as you will, i think that people are just choosing Hillary so we can say we got the first female president. They don't care about anything she stands for. Just like with Obama, i asked many people before he was elected, and a majority said, well it'll be a thing "get the first african american president in, the next one we will get in for the right reasons. but lets get the first one in there." so i feel its the same with Hillary, everyone wants to get the first female in. 'then they'll vote the right one in for the right reasons'

"The new results in two battleground states underscore the closeness of the race and come as the candidates prepare to square off Monday night in their high-stakes first debate at Long Island's Hofstra University."

"Bill Kristol and other Never-Trump Republicans have done extensive polling and talked to potential candidates and financial backers about how to stop Donald Trump, according to sources familiar with those efforts. They understand that getting on the ballot at this late stage will be a challenge but insist they can overcome that with the right candidate and resources."

A new CNN/ORC poll finds Obama's approval rating stands at 60%, his best mark since June of his first year in office. Compared with other outgoing presidents, Obama lands near the top of the list, outranked only by Bill Clinton's 66% in January 2001 and Ronald Reagan's 64% in January 1989.

The price of gasoline is damaging not just Americans' finances and mobility -- but the public's broader economic sentiment, and with it, Barack Obama's re-election prospects. With gas up 26 percent this year to an average $3.88 a gallon, seven in 10 Americans in this ABC News/Washington Post poll report financial hardship as a result, six in 10 say they've cut back on driving -- and, among those hardest hit, Obama's ratings are suffering.

If gas prices stay low I believe Obama's ratings will go up!

This is so true!

Four in 10 of all adults say the GOP nominating process has given them a less favorable impression of the Republican Party, versus just slightly more than one in 10 with a more favorable opinion.

Earlier this year, Americans indicated the two top reasons they disapproved of Congress was the incessant gridlock and partisan bickering, as well as the fact that the legislative body is "not getting anything done" and "not making decisions."
