The event is created to be a show of party unity and draw a sharp contrast with rival Donald Trump, who has struggled to convince some of the Republican party’s biggest names to speak on his behalf at his party convention next week.

Among weekly churchgoers, Clinton holds a 19-point lead over Trump – a much larger margin over the number of Catholics who supported Barack Obama in 2012.
Clinton leads Trump among registered voters by 44%-35% in Virginia, 43%-35% in Colorado, 44%-37% in Florida, 44%-38% in North Carolina.
Seated on mismatched folding chairs with lists of local phone numbers arrayed before them, Hillary Clinton supporters urged local Democrats to back the party’s presumptive presidential candidate at a phone bank in Williamsburg on Wednesday. Voters say by almost two-to-one margins that they have unfavorable views of Clinton in these surveys, but Trump actually exceeds that mark.
Trump, who is expected to become the official Republican nominee at the party’s convention next week, has since lost ground in the poll as he struggled to refocus his campaign from the Republican nominating contests to the November 8 general election.
Democrats agreed more with the president, but not the majority.
Another third, 36 percent, say that’s not true, while 21 percent weren’t sure. “Only 28 percent view her as honest”, CBS News reported.
The survey found that 87% of religious nones who backed Sanders said that they will vote Clinton over Trump. Twenty-four percent said she did nothing wrong. The two candidates are now tied in a general election matchup, the new poll indicates, with each receiving the support of 40 percent of voters.
Men and women were split in this survey too.
More than half of voters (55 per cent) indicate that this description applies to Trump, while just 19 per cent associate it with Clinton.

Information from the FBI’s investigation was inconsistent with some of Clinton’s statements from the past 18 months about her emails, and this seems to have resonated with some of the electorate.
