That’s a 5-point improvement for Clinton (inside the margin of sampling error for this subgroup), an 8-point dropoff in the share who say they’d back Trump and a 7-point increase in support for Jill Stein. Similarly, the number of respondents who said they viewed the former secretary of state unfavorably dropped six points, from 56 percent to 50 percent, in the wake of the Philadelphia convention.

Mr. Comey, during his press conference and subsequent testimony at a hearing with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, made it a point to run down a litany of statements made by Mrs. Clinton that were flatly untrue, including the claim she never sent or receive classified information.
Clinton took time to praise former Gov. and current U.S. Sen. candidate Ted Strickland, a Democrat who is in a tight race with Republican incumbent Sen.
Both candidates were on the campaign trail on Friday, kicking off what is expected to be a hotly contested general election battle. It would also dictate that the anti-bigot candidate-Clinton-be forced to limit her spending against the bigot.
“Trump said he has made a lot of sacrifices”.
In the wake of the Democratic convention, positive views of Hillary Clinton have risen five points among registered voters, from 31 percent a week ago to 36 percent today.
The closest a convention came to such unfavorable closing percentages was the 2012 RNC, when 40 percent of adults felt more likely to vote for Mitt Romney and 38 percent felt more wary after the convention, according to Gallup.
The usual voices supporting taxpayer-funded political campaigns as a way to get special interest money out of the system have fallen strangely silent now that Donald Trump is the one who is getting outspent, and now that Hillary Clinton is the one being aided by “the influence of big money”.
At a rallies in OH and Pennsylvania, Trump trained his fire back on his opponent, saying that by endorsing Clinton, Vermont U.S. Sen. Last week, a CNN/ORC survey found 40% calling Trump’s speech excellent or good. Clinton and Trump were previously tied in the poll at 42 percent.
It’s been suggested that Trump’s latest comments could potentially harm his campaign if his voters believe that their vote is worthless, as they might not bother to turn up and cast their vote. “I personally think that Donald Trump poses a serious threat to our democracy”.
