Hillary Clinton Hits Trump Over Outsourcing
Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has gained a whopping 15 per cent national lead over her Republican rival Donald Trump, according to a latest poll.
According to the McClatchy-Marist survey released on Thursday, the former secretary of state has 48 percent of the votes as compared to the NY billionaire businessman having only a 33-percent support. WSJ’s Shelby Holliday breaks down the numbers.

Pence says that he spoke with Trump Wednesday morning about his “support for Paul Ryan and our longtime friendship”.
Meanwhile, a CNN-ORC poll released later on the same day shows that the former secretary of state is ahead of the billionaire businessman by nine points, with the two receiving 52 and 43 percent respectively.
