So Trump gained 11 points in trustworthiness. Hillary lost 3 points in trustworthiness

11/2/16, "Hampton University's CPP Latest Poll Shows VA Voter Shift from Clinton to Trump Post Email Investigation," Hampton University, Hampton, Virginia

"The latest Hampton University Center for Public Policy (CPP) poll reveals that the FBI’s decision to reopen the Hillary Clinton email investigation may have triggered a boost for Donald Trump with likely voters in Virginia.

Democratic Presidential nominee Clinton had a two point lead before the email news story broke on Friday Oct. 28. She is now trailing three points behind Republican Presidential nominee Trump.

With only six days left before the November Presidential election, Trump has jumped ahead of Clinton, erasing a 12 point deficit reported by the CPP in early October.  This surge for Trump demonstrates again how erratic the run for the White House has been as we head into the final days of Decision 2016. This is the first time Clinton has trailed in the CPP polls this year, the latest poll was conducted Oct. 26-30.

When Virginians were asked if the election were held today, 44 percent of those surveyed would vote for Trump and 41 percent would choose Clinton, while a high percentage of voters remain undecided (15 percent). This is a major shift from just one month ago when Clinton led Trump by 12 points. (CPP poll, October 2016 - Clinton 46 percent , Trump 34 percent).


It must be noted that the poll began on Wednesday, Oct. 26, with 13 days to go before the election. During this time, the news story about the FBI reopening the investigation into email servers used by Clinton was released on Friday, October 28th. While details were scarce, the news did have an impact on the data collected during this time.

Most Virginians felt the top priority of the next President of the United States, no matter who it is should be working to improve the economy (47 percent) and create jobs followed by healthcare (19 percent)....


The poll was conducted by the Hampton University Center for Public Policy (CPP) from October 26- 30, 2016 questioning 802 registered voters who said they were “likely” to vote on November 8, 2016 in the Virginia General Election.

The margin of error for the survey is +/- 4.57% for the full sample.

"Live interviews were conducted by telephone from October 26-30, 2016. The sample was attained from the registered voter list for Virginia. The data was weighted to reflect the voter registration population of Virginia ages 18 years of age and older. This weighting combined with rounding is responsible for percentages not always equaling exactly 100%. This phenomenon is most obvious in the allocation by county as the very large number of response categories provided a multitude of opportunities for rounding and resulted in totals of significantly less than 100% (92%) overall.

The sample is also weighted to reflect the distribution of phone usage for registered voters of Virginia (ie: cell phone only, landline only, and mixed users). Following application of the weights, the sample is post-stratified and balanced by key demographics such as age, race, sex, education, marital status, and party affiliation.

A total of 802 interviews were conducted October 26- 30, 2016; 401 using Landline sample and 401 using Cell sample

The margin of error for the survey is +/- 4.57% for the full sample."
