There are dozens and dozens and dozens of articles like this. I just read one poll that had Clinton above Trump by 3 points, polling 5 different news networks. Guess which news network they left out? Fox News.

Clinton is losing favor across the board, especially with her money men. If you think she is clearly going to topple Trump, you don't understand the "simple math."
I really dislike it when people try to use stats to back up their point and give you stats that are completely unrelated. On Facebook the other day someone was auguring how popular Trump was with the United States Military, using an article that claimed "73 percent of veterans would vote for Trump". However, the discussion was about the United States Military, the article pointed to was bout vets (not the current military), and in this case all of the Vets were Republicans at some Republican event. The article had nothing to do with the United States Military, and only was about Republican vets.

I do not see where in the article is says "Trump is beating Hillary". This article seems to talk about how Trump is doing against his fellow Republicans, and how Hillary is doing against other Democrats, and a few other polls, but does not put Hillary against Trump. Your article talks about how Trump is polling high in the Republican party, and how Hillary is loosing points in the Democratic race.

Real Clear Politics, which pulls data from nearly thirty different sources, has Hillary in the lead. Even Fox news has Clinton pulling 5% higher than Trump.

I don't want Hillary to be our next President. I would pick her over Trump, but ONLY because of a lack of better options. But if we were to vote right now, it would look like Hillary would be our next President.
