Clinton Raises a Combined $143M in August, Her Best Month Yet

But Clinton aides are monitoring movement toward a pair of third party candidates, Libertarian Gary Johnson and the Green Party’s Jill Stein. Seven percent remain undecided.

Clinton’s high of 44 percent in early August just after the Democratic National Convention has disappeared, leaving her with the lowest level of support since the middle of July.

To understand Clinton’s character, we’ll feature the perspectives of a former chief of staff, a Republican who worked with her in Congress, a biographer and journalist who has long tracked her career, and her daughter, Chelsea Clinton.

Clinton (42 percent) has a 5 percentage point lead nationally over Trump (37 percent) in the latest CNN Poll of Polls published Friday. It highlights, however, that this remains a very close race.

The polls are not the only factors that determine support for a candidate, especially in a race like this one. However, that’s improved from a 71 percent disapproval rate in September 2015.

When asked who the Democrats would pick if they were to choose again, 47 percent still picked Clinton while 42 percent chose Sen.

There are some voters willing to move across party lines, however.

Johnson draws support from eight percent (8%) of Republicans, three percent (3%) of Democrats and 12% of unaffiliated voters.

But I also find many people are confused about what polls mean and how to read them.

However, the 68-year-old leader continues to maintain lead in some of the key battle ground states, other polls said.

When it comes to fundraising, there is no beating Hillary Clinton. When Trump travelled to MA in the fall of 2015, he held two events, one in Worcester and the other in Lowell. Male voters likewise prefer Trump, where he led by the same margin.

The Commission on Presidential Debates says that in order for a candidate to participate in the debates, they have to be polling at 15 percent. It’s likely there will be many polls released next week to mark that campaign kickoff, and since voters typically begin tuning in more closely to the campaign once the summer ends, those figures will be more meaningful for all candidates.

The president election is shaping up as a referendum on the federal government and its actions.

Among Trump supporters, men (48%) are more likely than women (39%) to say their vote is a vote for Trump.

Pennsylvania voters still give Clinton an edge over Trump when it comes to experience to be president (55 to 20 percent), prepared to handle foreign policy (55 to 25 percent) and having character and good judgment (40 to 27 percent), but her numbers are down from July while his have ticked up slightly.
