Clinton presses into Arizona, Trump focuses on Florida
The stock market has been pouting about Trump’s recent surge in the polls for a week.
“It’s not often that you can move the arc of history”. In Michigan, a state that had seen no major advertising during the general election, both candidates’ buys are approaching $1 million.
“When she makes a mistake, an honest mistake, it ends up being blown up as if it’s some insane thing”, Obama continued, once again defending his endorsement.
Always important in presidential contests, Florida has emerged as this year’s most crucial state on the road to the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the White House.
Obama’s interview with NowThis was scheduled as part of a final week campaign blitz as the president seeks to help Clinton by boosting Democratic voter turnout among young people and other groups that heavily supported his victories in 2008 and 2012.
Trump, meanwhile, was to swing through the swing states of New Hampshire, Ohio and Pennsylvania touting his plan to “drain the swamp” of corrupt politicians to his supporters.
Around a quarter of North Carolina’s population is black. Clinton, who has comfortable leads in big states such as California and NY, could more easily reach 270 votes without winning either Florida or North Carolina.
The furor over the Federal Bureau of Investigation probe of Hillary Clinton’s emails is helping Donald Trump among independent voters in key swing states.
In July, after a lengthy investigation, the FBI and Department of Justice declined to pursue charges in the case. The Trump campaign, as well as high-ranking Republicans in Wisconsin, have seized on the revelation as an 11th hour reason for Wisconsin Clinton supporters to switch their vote. Many of her events are near early voting sites. About 6-in-10 likely voters who haven’t cast their ballot yet (early voting is already under way) said the FBI’s announcement makes no difference to them, while 32% said it made them less likely to support Clinton. “She also needs to try to win the toss-up states – we’d argue Florida, Nevada and maybe even Arizona”. Trump, she said, is “out of his depth”, and she called his proposals on foreign policy issues “incredibly risky”. “We are going to change it”, he said, calling his campaign “a movement like we have never seen in this country before”.
In the automaking state of MI, which has voted reliably for Democratic candidates in recent presidential elections but which Trump has fought hard to win, some 40 percent of likely voters believed Clinton would be better equipped to address trade, compared with 36 percent for Trump.
He said, “Nobody believes the numbers they’re reporting anyway”. White House spokesman Eric Schultz said Obama was merely pointing out that if facts are released before an investigation is completed, “that could lead to public speculation or innuendo”. She posed for pictures and shook hands during a surprise visit to a South Florida Caribbean-American neighborhood Wednesday morning. “Clinton just does not appear capable of providing the lift required to put Democrats in range of a 30-seat net gain, and House generic polling averages don’t indicate a wave is coming in the lower chamber”.
