Clinton Is Pummeling Trump in Late Campaign Donations

“This is just another reminder to voters of why they haven’t trusted Hillary Clinton from the get-go”, said Katie Martin, a spokeswoman for the National Republican Congressional Committee. “She’s going to places that she is trying to protect like OH, which is a little bit tougher for her, and places that she’s trying to get, like Arizona”.

While Clinton’s newest email controversy may help Trump pick up support in older, whiter states like OH and Iowa, the Republican nominee still faces a narrow pathway to winning the 270 electoral votes – one that includes defending states like Arizona and Utah that Republicans have won for decades. Men and women are about equally likely to think so.

But with just over a week to go until the country elects its next leader, an Federal Bureau of Investigation review of new emails from an aide to Clinton has thrown another element of surprise into the United States election.

He added: “How will Hillary manage this country when she can’t even manage her emails?”

Pence said he sees “tremendous momentum in this campaign” and that Trump has indicated he will inject more of his own money into the race to compete with Clinton – who now has more campaign cash on hand – in the final week.

But Clinton’s Republican rival, Donald Trump, seized on the news of the probe to press his longstanding charge that Clinton lacks integrity, hoping he can make an improbable late comeback and win the November 8 election. The billionaire’s recent trouble with women seems to be one factor preventing him from doing the same.

CNN’s Jeff Zeleny, a longtime Clinton watcher, knows her first reflex is to hunker down.

So, then, what is the path for Trump to chin himself to 270 votes?

Several women have since publicly accused Trump of groping and kissing them without permission, including a People magazine reporter who said Trump attacked her when his wife, Melania, was out of the room.

The government official says the Justice Department concluded the letter would be inconsistent with department policy that directs against investigative actions that could be seen as affecting an election or helping a particular candidate.

Donald Trump was a longshot from the start in the strongly Democratic state, which hasn’t backed a GOP candidate for the White House since George H.W. Bush in 1988. “I think it was very negative”.

Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump say they will create millions of jobs if elected president. Green Party candidate Jill Stein is at 2%.

Politico/Morning Consult said Trump (39 per cent) is trailing Clinton (42 per cent) by three percentage points, while as per Rasmussen the Republican nominee (42 per cent) is behind the former Secretary of State (39 per cent) by same difference. Trump needs to close that gap to have any shot at victory.

Opinion polls now shows Clinton’s lead over Trump has narrowed slightly. Early voting has been underway for weeks, and she has a steady lead in preference polls. George H.W. Bush, in a three-way race with Bill Clinton and Ross Perot in 1992, still managed 33 percent. “She wants to let people just pour in”, he said at a rally in Albuquerque. Clinton’s efforts are all about turnout: appearing at carefully staged events and in local media as she deploys a small army of supporters campaigning in battleground states, working to get people to register, volunteer — and most crucially, vote. “You are going from a rally to vote”.

Jonathan Martin of The New York Times shared reporting from Republicans who think Trump is choosing poorly. Instead, she’s backing Libertarian Gary Johnson.

Republicans and Democrats in California are struggling to keep voters motivated in advance of Election Day, but for different reasons.

Even as the White House remains an uphill climb, Republicans see the email exchanges as a new opportunity to win over voters in the dozens of down-ballot races that will determine House and Senate control next year.

According to the Real Clear Politics average of multiple polls, Clinton still holds a 44.9 per cent to 41.1 per cent lead over Trump nationwide.
