In the last week, reports from Politico and The New York Times, both respected news outlets, broke stories that detailed dissension behind the scenes at the Trump campaign.

The Siena College survey released Monday shows Clinton beating the Republican nominee 57 to 27 percent.
Siena’s Steve Greenberg said it’s getting late for that to turn around.
“That’s a long streak”, said Greenberg, “and at the moment, that streak does not appear to be in any jeopardy whatsoever”.
“We will also work closely with NATO on this new mission”, said Trump, whose remarks about the defence organisation earlier this summer drew heavy criticism from allies and even some of his fellow Republicans. While Trump has often found himself in the negative headlines, his tone has rubbed off on members of his campaign. Clinton holds leads of 9.2 points, 8 points and 8.2 points in the three states respectively, according to RealClearPolitics. Greenberg said slightly over half, 51 percent, of New Yorkers view her positively. Clinton has a 43 percent unfavorability rating, compared to Trump’s 56 percent rating.
Ahead of a visit to reassure North Atlantic Treaty Organisation allies in the Balkans, U.S. Vice President, Joe Biden campaigned for Clinton, issuing this denunciation of Trump’s foreign policy.
But it seems reasonable to speculate that Trump may be exacerbating that problem.
A landslide for Clinton in NY could help Democrats retake the state Senate. Dwight Eisenhower’s 1956 landslide didn’t install Republican majorities, and Lyndon Johnson’s Democratic gains in 1964 owed much to the high job rating of his assassinated predecessor.
Currently, Republicans have a majority in the Senate with 54 seats.
Of the changes we’ve made since last month, nearly all of them favor Clinton. He clarified that he was not referring to anyone in particular. “I can not vote for Hillary Clinton”, Senate Assistant Minority Leader Richard Ross, a Wrentham Republican, told the News Service on Monday. Her campaign’s efforts may be working well as more than four in 10 voters said she has the personality and temperament to serve effectively as president. Hillary Clinton’s campaign is questioning Donald Trump’s top political aide’s ties to a pro-Kremlin political party in Ukraine.
Siena’s Greenberg said even with the huge lead of Clinton in the presidential race, voters in NY have a long tradition of splitting the ticket when it comes to their local lawmakers.
The eight senior appointees in the George W Bush and other past administrations published a joint open letter on Tuesday night in the USA, declaring they would vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton at the November 8 election.

“If they can’t get Mr Trump to change his act by Labor Day, the GOP will have no choice but to write off the nominee as hopeless and focus on salvaging the Senate and House and other down-ballot races”, the influential Journal wrote. “In the big picture, he is not even remotely close to where he needs to be nationally or in the battleground states”, said Democratic strategist Stefan Hankin, president at Washington DC data analytics firm Lincoln Park Strategies.
