One week ago, they were tied at 44.3 per cent.

“This is coming off the Democratic convention, where a bounce is expected”, Lee Miringoff, director of the institute said.
“Well we have so many different ones to choose”, the Republican presidential nominee said in an interview with First Coast News, an online news organization.
Rare’s Kendall Trammell was inside the room as Clinton spoke and reports there was lots of applause for a Washington Post reporter’s comment that Clinton should talk to reporters more often.
An IBD/TIPP poll conducted July 29-Aug. Richard Hanna, who is retiring after his term ends, announced on Tuesday that he will vote for Hillary Clinton. He’s down by 69 points among non-white voters, the poll found.
“Voters are more comfortable voting for people they like, so this is not good news for either candidate”, says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts the Fox News Poll along with Democratic pollster Chris Anderson.
Clinton’s lead over the GOP nominee has grown substantially over the last few weeks, since mid-July, when she last polled at just three points above Trump.
The Mclatchy/Marist poll illustrates the volatility of the race.
“Anyone you can provoke with a tweet should not be anywhere near nuclear weapons”, said Clinton, who according to a latest poll is leading Trump by 15 percentage points.
In July, The Hill reported on a poll showing that nearly half of Sanders’s millennial backers said they were considering voting for a third party candidate, firmly rebuking the “lesser of two evils” argument. But nine per cent still selected other or undecided. The Independents and undecideds in the state are breaking for Clinton, because of Trump.
Hillary Clinton also said that she would call out Donald Trump for going after individuals.
Nationally, the picture isn’t much better.
Last month, Clinton held a narrow 3-point advantage, 42 percent-39 percent in a McClatchy-Marist poll. In a four-way scenario, Clinton beats Trump 41 percent to 38 percent, followed by 11 percent for Johnson, and 2 percent for Stein. An AL.com unscientific poll Thursday still showed strong support for Trump with more than 12,000 votes cast.
Clinton has a bigger support among African Americans compared to Trump. Clinton asked patrons at a Las Vegas restaurant whether they wanted a president who stands for “you’re fired” – the real estate mogul’s line on a popular reality TV show – or “you’re hired”. She’s up six per cent in Florida, 10 in MI, and a remarkable 11 in Pennsylvania.
Trump, in recent days, however, has sought to refocus.

Clinton has emerged one of the least accessible candidates to run for president this year, rarely taking question from her traveling press corps. In 2012, Obama won Florida by 0.9 per cent, OH by 1.9, Pennsylvania by 5.2 and MI by a solid 9.5.
