Claim: Hillary Clinton had a 12-point lead over Donald Trump a week before the 2016 election.
Reasoning: The post uses an image of real polling data but inaccurately presents it as being from a week before the 2016 election. The poll referenced was actually from June 15, 2016, not late October or early November. In the final week before the election, Clinton’s lead over Trump had significantly narrowed, with most polls showing a much smaller margin.
Fact or Fiction? Fiction. The 12-point lead was from a much earlier point in the campaign, not a week before the election.
