Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign released its first television ad of the general election on Friday.

By contrast, supporters of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton tend to be sunny in their estimation of the nation’s path, with 59 percent saying life for people like them has gotten better over that same time span, compared to 19 percent who believed it had gotten worse and 18 percent who saw minimal change.
“Illegal immigrants convicted of committing crimes get to stay, collecting social security benefits, skipping the line”. In the ad, Trump urges viewers to vote for him to keep America secure and safe again.
If Donald Trump was to win all the remaining battleground states on the map, he’d still be shy of the 270 votes needed to win the White House which means he is going to have to pick off at least one of the states now leaning in Hillary Clinton’s direction in addition to running the table in those battlegrounds. He is also heading to Louisiana Friday, where floods have ravaged the state. That survey had Johnson at 11%, closer to the 15% required to qualify for the three upcoming presidential debates.
Weighed down by a dizzying string of successive and overlapping controversies, verbal spats, and political missteps, Trump saw his brief advantage evaporate in a haze of conflicts with everyone from the parents of a slain Muslim-American war hero and the most powerful elected official in Republican politics to a crying baby.
Last week in Pennsylvania, he said the only way he could lose the state was because of cheating.
“Donald Trump’s America is secure”, he goes on.
But the visit was met with harsh words from Gov. John Bel Edwards, whose spokesman Richard Carbo said, “We welcome him to LA, but not for a photo-op”.
Now, with the candidate short on room for error, a gamble: Trump has brought in a new chief executive and campaign manager to right the ship.
Additionally, women surveyed back Clinton over Trump 49% to 30%, respectively, while men support Trump 45% to 33%.
Trump, reading from prepared remarks Thursday night, acknowledged that he sometimes says “the wrong thing” in an astonishing act of contrition that signaled Trump’s willingness to break from his characteristic brashness and bare-knuckles style that carried him to victory in the Republican primaries, but risks dooming him in the general election.
Today Trump dropped the first televised ad from his campaign.
