Recent Polls Show Gary Johnson Cutting Into Clinton and Trump Voters
And she isn’t running against Obama, a once-in-a-century political talent; she’s running against an ill-disciplined rookie, Donald Trump. Clinton also has the presidential edge as who is more trusted to make America proud: 43 to 34 percent. His new campaign chief, Kellyanne Conway, appears on television often to plug Trump.
“I think big picture this has been a 3-5 point race nationally that’s had periods where it’s blipped 5 points in Clinton’s direction or 5 points in Trump’s direction, but those blips have never been permanent and things eventually settle back where they were before”, said Tom Jensen, the director of Public Policy Polling. “I think her bodyguards should drop all weapons”.
That’s an improvement from three years ago, when only 37 percent of registered voters had confidence in Uncle Sam (June 2013).
Of course, the second reason for Trump’s apparent rise in the polls is Hillary Clinton’s recent illness.
In an aside that Clinton’s campaign blasted as out of bounds, and the sort of flippant comment his own team has tried to wring from his routine, Trump said, “Let’s see what happens to her”.
Among Trump supporters, 39 percent said illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay and seek citizenship, 14 percent said immigrants can stay but not seek citizenship and 45 percent said they should be forced to leave.
Several statewide polls have shown Mr. Trump making gains in battleground states and subsamples of the PPD U.S. Presidential Election Daily Tracking Poll confirm that movement. Here’s a headline from the New York Times: “Appalachian voters know Trump is unsafe”.
Trump shifts on Cuba: Trump told a Miami, Florida crowd Friday that he would reverse Obama’s orders on Cuba “unless the Castro regime meets our demands”, reports NBC News.
When respondents were asked their opinion of what they thought when they hear the economy has improved, 42 percent responded that maybe that’s the case for some, but ‘it’s not for people like me’.
“To win he’s got to get historic republican turnout, get historically bad democratic turnout, and win the center”, he added. It also noted that 1964 Republican nominee Barry Goldwater previously had the highest negative score – 26 percent. Almost two-thirds (65%) say they are “Extremely interested” and almost one-third (31%) say they are “Very Interested” in the election. Clinton laid out her plan earlier in the campaign. Clinton, who has mostly led Trump in the poll since the Democratic and Republican national conventions ended in July, regained the advantage this week after her lead briefly faded in late August. However, no Republican presidential candidate in recent memory has won the presidency without also winning Florida. Bernie Sanders in mock debate session opposite Clinton during the Democratic primary, is playing the role of Pence opposite Kaine ahead of the vice presidential debate on October 4, reports Politico. Most Americans are not like Trump’s most passionate supporters. She can’t be trusted to kill TPP permanently.
Mr. Philips, who did support Sen. “Only Trump, not even Bernie, sees that illegal immigration hurts working citizens and benefits only the cheap labor interests of the corporate elite and the members of the Chamber of Commerce”. She has a larger and more professional campaign organization to make sure Democratic voters get to the polls. At the beginning of last week, by a 54% to 41% margin voters expected her to win in November. The margin of error was plus or minus 1.9 percent. Few are openly talking about winning the state this time around, though they can not help but wonder what the margin will look like on Election Day if it is so irregularly narrow two months out.
