Obama on FBI investigation of Clinton emails: ‘We don’t operate on innuendo’

More likely voters view Clinton as caring about them (47 percent) than say the same about Trump (37 percent).

During a day-long tour of Florida that included stops in Orlando and Pensacola, Trump claimed polls showing him “way up” in the state.

Republicans are united in their criticism of Clinton’s handling of questions about her email use, with 90 per cent saying they disapproved of her response.

But Clinton was put on the back foot last Friday when Federal Bureau of Investigation director James Comey declared the agency was investigating emails belonging to top aide Huma Abedin, in relation to its probe of Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of state. Early-voting numbers for both groups so far indicate that these voters are not coming out for Clinton at the same levels that supported Obama. It had a credibility interval, a measure of accuracy, of 3 percentage points.

Trump’s daughter Ivanka was campaigning in New Hampshire.

Mr Trump said she should not become president as it would “create an unprecedented constitutional crisis”, adding she was “likely to be under investigation for many years” and it was “likely to conclude in a criminal trial”.

The Nevada lawsuit is one of four filed in states that include Arizona, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are in a dead heat with less than a week to go until the election, according to a new poll.

Trump, however, did not immediately take the bait. Trump would violate Constitutional religious freedom protections and set a bad example with his rhetoric for little girls and boys, she said.

On a previous trip to Miami last month, with Clinton then surging ahead in the polls, Obama focused heavily on down-ticket races, such as the battle for the U.S. Senate seat in Florida between Rep. Patrick Murphy and the incumbent, Sen. “It’s the greatest pile-on in American history”, Trump told ABC’s “Good Morning America” Thursday.

Her campaign said in a statement, “Michigan is an important state and Hillary Clinton has been campaigning aggressively here in order to win on Election Day”.

However, it is increasingly unlikely the Federal Bureau of Investigation will complete its email review before Election Day, officials said, adding that they may offer updates before then. Speaking to students at Florida International University in Miami, Obama told voters now was the time to get serious about the choice. Hillary Clinton planned to travel to the Detroit area on Friday.

The poll surveyed 541 likely voters over a six day period October 26-31. President Obama won the state by a more than 54 percent margin in 2012, when he was opposed by MI native Mitt Romney, the former governor of MA.

One of the gratuitous utterances most likely to dissuade voters from declaring their hand should they be willing to vote for Trump was his conversation with Billy Bush, formerly of NBC’s popular “Today Show”, where he described in the most base terms how he forces himself on women he finds attractive.
