Clinton favorability slides to equal Trump
The mainstream media may have counted him out when August started but Donald Trump has closed the gap between himself and Hillary Clinton heading into September. The poll must be sending cold chills through the Clinton camp. “These resources will help us to register and turnout millions of voters to elect progressive candidates across the country”.
One senior House Democratic strategist familiar with Democratic polling conceded to CNN that while many incumbents and GOP candidates in open seat races are now leading, they believe GOP support is “soft” and polls will shift in the fall when more voters tune into races below the presidential level.
“We will rebuild our depleted military and pursue a state-of-the-art missile defense”, Trump said.
A day earlier Trump travelled to Mexico to meet its president.
But a broader look leads me to this theory: The Democrats and their media scribes have pretty much blown their entire ammo stash against Trump, and it’s had as much effect as it’s going to have.
As the Inquisitr reported, Trump was rapidly losing support among potential voters a few weeks ago. She had led Trump by over 13 points in a Reuters/Ipsos poll taken in June, but Trump chipped away at the lead.
Hillary Clinton invited a direct comparison between her record as the nation’s chief diplomat and Donald Trump’s readiness to lead the nation, dismissing her rival’s jaunt to Mexico as a “photo op” that would do little to free him from a history of coarse rhetoric directed at the US ally.
Clinton begins September with more than $68 million in the bank to use against rival Donald Trump.
The result comes as Labor Day approaches. A total of 3 percent of the respondents had no opinion on the question for Trump and Clinton. And while Trump wins white men, 41% to 38%, that is offset in part by Clinton winning white women by a larger margin, 45% to 38%. On the overall access and affordability of health care, 52 percent trusted Clinton, compared with 39 percent saying Trump would do better. That was a 5.2 Trump margin.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have at least one thing in common – they are just about equally unpopular among registered voters, an ABC News/Washington Post poll released Wednesday indicates.
UPDATE: A few have commented that I left out the LA Times poll, which does have Trump up three over Clinton. “But, if this was accounting, they would put them in jail”.
While the crowd was polite and clapped for both candidates, their applause for Trump seemed to come more frequently and with more enthusiasm. While it still appears as though this is one of his main campaign points, he has said that he would consider softening his stance for illegal families that have strong ties in the United States.
Hillary Clinton pitched her foreign policy to Republican voters in a speech to the American Legion on Wednesday, arguing that she would best uphold American values and protect national security interests.
