Trump tweets poll showing him losing to Clinton
Democrat Hillary Clinton has opened up a double-digit lead nationally over Republican Donald Trump, whose negatives remain unusually high for a presidential candidate amid early indications that the Orlando terrorist attack has had little direct impact on the 2016 race. 63 percent of women said they couldn’t choose Trump, and 55 percent of Bernie Sanders supporters are now supporting Clinton.
According to ABC News, the poll “cements (Clinton and Trump’s) position as the two most unpopular presumptive major party nominees for president in ABC News/Washington Post polling dating to 1984”.
In response to a Freedom of Information Request by Buzzfeed for photos of Donald Trump, the National Archives is publishing hundreds of photos on September 9.
Trump accused Hillary Clinton and her husband of making hundreds of millions of dollars doing favors and selling access to Wall Street, special interests and oppressive foreign regimes. Additionally, another poll shows that she is eating into Trump’s lead on white voters and men. In fact, Hillary Clinton hits her own record unfavorability number in the same poll, earning the disapproval of 55 percent of the American public, up from 53 one month ago. And 7-in-10 voters said that Trump’s comments about the Trump University judge were offensive and 42% think Trump either did something improper or illegal related to the now-defunct program.
Hillary Clinton on Thursday won the endorsement of the AFL-CIO, the nation’s largest labor federation, giving her a powerful voter turnout engine against Donald Trump. The former first lady’s growing lead came just days after the same poll found Trump has pulled into a statistical deadlock with her among likely general election voters. In fact, Trump’s numbers are so abysmal among Hispanic voters they’re nearly hard to believe.
Burga says numerous conversations that will swing potential Trump voters will be shop-floor chats between people who respect each other. Yesterday, Donald Trump called all of the polls that are showing him losing phony.
Yet Trump also lost favor among non-college educated and independent voters, demographics that would be key to his victory in November. Two percent say they will support neither and 5 percent say they don’t know whom they will support.
The online poll included 1,063 likely voters and had a credibility interval, a measure of accuracy, of about 3.5 percentage points.
