Nationally Recognized Hampton University Center For Public Policy (CPP) Releases New Presidential Poll

Hampton, Va - Recognized by

The Washington Post 

 for its 100 percent accuracy, the Hampton University Center For Public Policy (CPP) releases a new enlightening poll. If the presidential election were held today it would be a statistical dead heat. That was the clear result of the August CPP polling of registered Virginia voters. With only 67 days left before Americans head to the polls for the November 8th Presidential Election neither candidate has a lead on the other and both candidates are carrying relatively high unfavorable ratings. Not much has changed for the White House hopefuls. Democratic nominee Hilary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump remain in the same virtual tie that CPP  polled in July. The poll questioned 801 Virginia voters who said they were likely to vote. When asked for whom would they vote, 43% chose Democrat Hillary Clinton, and 41% indicated that they would vote for Republican Donald Trump.
