More voters trust Clinton on health care

Clinton led by double-digit margins on most issues, but the closest split – 9 percentage points – was on the fate of the Obama health care law. In part that’s because some, like Reuters/Ipsos, have attempted to measure the preferences of who’s likely to vote, while others have surveyed the larger pool of all registered voters. According to the recent polls, this lead has gone down from a previous 10- point advantage to a virtual tie. Despite Clinton’s impressive victory in terms of electoral votes, 270 to 168, the Republicans gained seats in the House of Representatives and only lost one seat in the US Senate.

In a four-way scenario that includes Libertarian Gary Johnson and Green Party nominee Jill Stein, Clinton maintained a seven-point advantage- 42 percent to Trump’s 35 per cent.

Though her lead over Trump may be shrinking, there is one consolation for Clinton.

CNN estimated Clinton headlined 37 fundraisers in August, taking her to 12 states, according to estimates based on average ticket prices and attendance figures provided by the Clinton campaign.

White registered voters are in favor of Trump over the Democratic candidate by 13 points.

The former secretary of state led Trump 54 per cent to 38 per cent among women, 92 per cent to four per cent among African-American voters and 65 per cent to 24 per cent among Hispanic voters.

The poll of 801 Virginia likely voters was conducted August 24 and 28. White evangelical Christians, on the other hand, are in favor of Trump by 55 points.

Of the total, around $62 million went to the Clinton campaign, and roughly $81 million was raised for the Democratic Party and state parties across the country through joint fundraising accounts, the Clinton campaign said in a news release on Thursday, Xinhua news agency reported.

In contrast, a majority of Donald Trump supporters say they probably or definitely will vote only for Republicans.

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton accepts the nomination on the fourth and final night at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S. July 28, 2016.

“Just something for conservatives to think about before voting for a third party candidate with no chance of winning: your “stand for conservative principles” is what Hillary is counting on to put her and her far-left agenda into power with just 47 percent of the vote”.

The numbers were gathered from the Reuters/Ipsos polls conducted from June 26 to July 26, where more than 5,000 respondents participated.
