Where the Trump-Clinton race stands a day before they debate

The ABC News/Washington Post survey put Clinton ahead of Trump, 49 percent to 47 percent, well within the poll’s margin of error of 4.5 percentage points.

In a two-way match-up, Clinton and Trump each got 46% among registered voters.

The results show the race has tightened in recent weeks.

Gender, race and education were clear markers between the two candidates. About 53% of white voters back Trump, compared to 37% for Clinton, while non-white voters back her 69% to 19% for her Republican rival.

It said Clinton’s decision to use a private email server for government work as secretary of state deserved the scrutiny it has received in the campaign, but considered alongside the real challenges facing the United States it “looks like a matter for the help desk”.

Because the vast majority of voters have already picked a candidate. According to the RealClearPolitics average of recent reputable polls, Clinton has a 5-point lead over Trump.

For Trump, 38% had a positive impression and 57% a negative one, a rating five points lower than it was prior to the two parties’ national conventions in July.

About 42% of voters said Trump was honest and trustworthy, while 53% said he was not.

After it was announced that Shark Tank judge, Mark Cuban would be among the celebrity guests present at the debate this week (Cuban has also made some negative comments about Trump on social media), Trump expressed his disdain in a loaded tweet.

While many were outraged by Trump’s invitation, the drama unfortunately didn’t stop there.

The Times said Clinton’s mistakes had distorted perceptions of her character, but praised her work restoring USA credibility in foreign affairs as secretary of state and on behalf of children, women and families throughout her career. “I think the fact that Donald Trump is spending the hours before this debate on this sort of thing is indicative of the kind of leader he would be”, Mook said on CNN.

Despite Trump’s suggestion he would invite Flowers to the event, Kellyanne Conway, his campaign manager, said there’s “no plan” for Trump to raise Bill Clinton’s past infidelity during the debate. “Gennifer Flowers will not be there”, Mike Pence, the governor of IN, said.
