Analysts still consider Florida, North Carolina and OH considered genuine toss-up states, perhaps with a slight edge towards Clinton, but a string of strong polls has moved Pennsylvania seemingly out of reach for Trump, where he now trails Clinton by an average of 9 points, according to RealClearPolitics’ aggregation of polls.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has decided that free media alone will not be enough to win the 2016 election.
The 30-second ad, entitled “Two Americas: Immigration”, contrasted how the candidates would tackle the hot-button issue, contending that while “in Hillary Clinton’s America, the system stays rigged against Americans”, in Trump’s America, the country will be secure and keep out unsafe people.
“Donald Trump’s America is secure, terrorists and unsafe criminals kept out”, the ad continues.
“It’s more of the same, but worse”, the narrator adds, to the tune of somber music playing in the background.
Latest polls suggests that Clinton has support of over 90 per cent of African-Americans, while Trump has little or negligible support in the large community where unemployment rate is very high and so is poverty.
The biggest reason why Donald Trump is struggling in the polls is that he has no discipline. The remark about winning 95% of the African-American vote was another in a long line of delusional promises and boasts that Trump makes off the cuff on the campaign trail.
“Sometimes in the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don’t choose the right words or you say the wrong thing”. Additional spending expected to reach $900,000 is earmarked for cable, Goldstein said, citing a media buyer familiar with Trump’s plans.
It all appears to be part of the much-promised shift now that Trump has yet another new team of leaders in his campaign.
And, in a twist, Trump’s lack of ground game campaign anywhere helps the argument that, if he put one together, his comeback could be even stronger.
Nearly all of the buy, $4 million, is on broadcast television, according to Kantar Media/CMAG data reviewed Thursday by Bloomberg Politics ad analyst Ken Goldstein.
It’s an interesting choice to come out of the gate with a negative ad, rather than an establishing positive ad that focuses first on Trump himself.

“It’s an ad that a lot of people are going to be talking about”, said Goldstein, a professor of politics at the University of San Francisco.
