Polls show Clinton expanding her lead over Trump
After another round of Trump insults, Warren paused, saying.
Brent Scowcroft, a national security adviser to two Republican presidents, endorsed Clinton on Wednesday, and Richard Armitage, a deputy secretary of state under George W. Bush, said last week he would support her.
However, a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll showed a slimmer lead for Clinton, 46 percent to Trump’s 41 percent.
He does share some populist tendencies with Trump – which Trump has tried to leverage to get Sanders supporters to join him – but it was always a somewhat fanciful effort by Trump to woo them. Fifty-six percent feel strongly that he is unqualified. “Nobody said anything. He’s probably going to start thinking about it two days before Cleveland”.
The poll asked respondents who they would vote for if they were American citizens.
In 1937, only one in three polled said they would vote for a qualified woman for president, according to Gallup.
Obama is more popular now than Republicans George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush in the waning months of their presidencies. Obama was supposed to make his first appearance on the campaign trail with Clinton earlier this month, but it was postponed after the Orlando mass shooting.
The ABC poll partisan divisions were 36 percent Democrat, 24 percent Republican, and 33 percent independent.
In the new poll Clinton led among all age groups.
Both polls also show high unfavorable ratings for Clinton, and the election is still more than four months away. The race is tight in North Carolina, which Romney won in 2012, Clinton leads with 44 percent, Trump is close behind with 42 percent, and Johnson has two percent.
The strategy could be potent against Trump, who is struggling with female voters. Trump in his big attack speech last week said Clinton would break her campaign pledge and sign it once she becomes president.
There is also little evidence that Trump is winning over Democratic primary voters.

“It’s very clear that Donald Trump intends to make a major play for the industrial Midwest and so I think this highlights that she doesn’t intend to let him get away with it”, Manley added. She’s visited Clinton’s headquarters in Brooklyn to give staff a pep talk, sent a fundraising email on Clinton’s behalf and delighted Clinton aides by giving Trump one of the best tongue-lashings the Democratic Party has to offer.
The poll found that 68 percent of Americans regard Trump’ s criticism of Judge Gonzalo Curiel as racist and 85 percent say they are inappropriate.
With such broad public disapproval of Trump’s controversial comments, Republican elected officials have awkwardly tiptoed around their likely nominee.
“Crooked Hillary is wheeling out one of the least productive senators in the U.S. Senate, goofy Elizabeth Warren, who lied on heritage”, Trump tweeted on Monday morning.
Though Warren is an influential progressive within the Democratic Party, strategists said her rhetoric about breaking up too-big-to-fail banks and reining in corporate excess resonates with two groups Clinton must court to win the November 8 election. His is the smallest Republican advantage with whites for a Republican presidential candidate since 1996, when Bob Dole lost to Bill Clinton in a rout. The margin of sampling error for overall results is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
