Another New Poll Shows Clinton Expanding Her National Lead Over Trump
His campaign said on Tuesday it had raised more than $18 million since the debate.
The centerpiece of Trump’s case against Clinton is that the former senator and secretary of state is little more than a career politician who has squandered opportunities to address the domestic and global problems she’s now pledging to tackle as president. And whether or not non-Trump supporters are buying the claims made about the photo, a majority of Americans don’t think of Hillary Clinton as an honest candidate.
Some said Trump was condescending from the start of the debate.
“Even if we don’t say it out loud, we share those looks across the conference table”.
Bennett, Lowe and Stotler were among two dozen female voters from battleground states who spoke with The Associated Press on Tuesday. Almost all expressed concerns with Trump’s critical and often demeaning comments about women, as well as his approach toward Clinton in the debate. “I mean, a lot of people came up to me, including numerous media, saying, ‘Listen, he could’ve just crushed her on that last question and he probably would’ve hurt a family if he did, ‘” Trump told Simon Conway Tuesday on Des Moines News Radio 1040 World Health Organization in Iowa. And you know what else I prepared for?
A poll released Thursday by Public Policy Polling shows Clinton with a large lead among voters under 30, a group she has struggled with, in Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
Mrs Clinton brought up the case of Alicia Machado, a former Miss Universe, saying Mr Trump called her “Miss Piggy” after she gained weight.
After Monday’s debate, Clinton’s team believes it has all the ammunition it needs to rally women in the campaign’s closing weeks.
The Trump advance schedule said Sunday would be set aside for debate preparation. She went on to describe how he had called Alicia Machado – the Venezuela-born victor of his 1996 Miss Universe contest – “Miss Piggy” because of her weight gain and “Miss Housekeeping” because she was from Latin America.
But Trump also did himself few favors.
HILLARY CLINTON: Anybody who complains about the microphone is not having a good night.
Media website TVLine.com said the preliminary data suggested the audience for Trump-Clinton on Monday could be about 81 million TV viewers. “Not only that – her attitude – and we had a real problem with her”. Trump adamantly denied that stop and frisk was declared unconstitutional; Clinton plugged her book, available at “bookstores and airports”; and Trump boasted about the cyber prowess of his ten-year-old son. Warner, long one of Congress’ leading figures on military affairs, said he was “distressed” by Trump’s comments critical of the military’s readiness. “I want dramatic change”.
As the campaigns are winding down, only nine respondents said they were still undecided.
But Noth said he was pleased overall with Trump’s debate performance and is confident Trump will win in November.
Throughout Monday night’s debate – the first of three between Trump and Clinton – the GOP nominee grew increasingly agitated and repeatedly interrupted and talked over Clinton, as his Democratic opponent continually fired off zingers about his command of the facts, his preparedness to be commander-in-chief and his temperament.
JOHN YANG: Last night, Clinton opened up a new front in the battle for women’s votes.
Such an approach would never wash in an extended one-on-one debate over ninety minutes.
