Donald Trump gains on Hillary Clinton as race in MI tightens

With the White House race decided on the Electoral College system of tallying wins on a state-by-state basis, Clinton and Trump are focused on a handful of battleground states.

Hillary Clinton is hanging onto a narrow 4-point lead over Donald Trump in MI heading into the last weekend before Tuesday’s election, with a new Free Press poll showing clear momentum for the Republican nominee in a state that several weeks ago was believed all but decided for the Democrat.

In overall support, 47 percent back Clinton while 44 percent back Trump in the latest four-day wave completed Tuesday, little different from her 47-45 edge in the previous wave but a break from the past six days where Clinton and Trump have been within two points.

He must win Florida to win the White House, no easy feat. More than a quarter of Trump’s supporters say they will probably not accept the outcome if Clinton is declared the victor, and almost 40 percent of them say they have little or no confidence that Americans’ votes will be counted properly.

The Clinton campaign has deployed the president to key battleground states like Ohio, North Carolina, Florida, and Pennsylvania, hoping to use the president’s high popularity among minority voters and young voters to increase turnout.

“Aren’t we exhausted of all this stuff?” he asked. If nothing else, Donald Trump has had the guts and gusto to show millions of Americans that their policies no longer work for the average American.
