Clinton leading Trump in critical battlegrounds

This is an improvement for Clinton, as an NBC News poll released last month had her six points ahead.

In an interview with CNN’s Victor Blackwell, Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson said the campaign was concerned with potential election fraud, particularly over electronic voting machines, which security researchers have warned are vulnerable to hacking.

“Once I get in, I will do my thing that I do very well”, he said.

“The only way they can beat it, in my opinion – and I mean this 100% – if in certain sections of the state, they cheat”, he said.

“The U.S.is in a dark and risky place, with threats from overseas and within our borders”.

Trump is leading in SC only because he out-polls Clinton among voters older than 65, winning that group 58 percent to 30 percent.

Trump and Clinton are also tied in another category.

Neither summation is ideal, but they do pretty accurately describe the picture each candidate is painting of where the nation stands heading into the 2016 election.

Trump, who said recently he didn’t “know that we need to get out the vote”. “In fact, he and Hillary Clinton get the “Most Valuable Player” award for creating the trouble in the United States”.

Whether or not white Catholics return to swing-voter status, they may never regain their past clout in US elections, as a result of both changing demographics and religious affiliation.

That’s in large part because he’s an extraordinarily flawed messenger.

The NBC/WSJ/Marist polls were conducted from August 3-7 and consisted of 899 registered voters in Iowa and OH and 834 in Pennsylvania. As the Cincinnati Enquirer’s Jeremy Fugleberg writes, “Harambe’s face is on signs at political conventions, .Some Australian voters added Harambe as a write-in candidate on their ballots and his name was added to a recent presidential poll, where he won 5 percent support”.

Another state that candidates are paying close attention to? Trump has suffered a series of missteps over the past two weeks that go beyond his remarks on gun rights activists, which he later accused the media of deliberately misinterpreting.

Another good poll for Portman: “The Marist poll also found U.S. Sen”.

But another reason he’s not totally out of the game is that Americans are generally more animated by pessimism than progress.

In Iowa he has an overall unfavorable view of -33 compared to Clinton’s -22, while in OH and Penn., Trump’s average rating is -32 compared to Clinton at -22.

Foley told the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel he has been a long-time friend of Trump’s and has found him to be “a different breed of leader and a different breed of candidate”.
