More than half of the likely voters, or 53 per cent, said they had “strongly unfavourable” views of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, while 46 per cent said the same about his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, according to a national poll released on Thursday.

Mr Band was acting on behalf of Casey Wasserman, a millionaire Hollywood sports entertainment executive and president of the Wasserman Foundation, which has donated up to $10m to the Clinton Foundation.
When asked in a nationally televised interview whether he would disavow the support of David Duke, a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, Trump wouldn’t do it.
Nearly exactly five months after Hillary Clinton said she regretted using the term “super predators” to refer to some children from crime-ridden communities, Donald Trump put out an Instagram video attacking her for the remarks. “He’s taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over the Republican Party”.
Trump tweeted an Instagram video with Clinton’s 1996 remarks, in which she said that kids in gangs have “no conscience, no empathy” and that “we have to bring them to heel”. “Once he gave the Mexican rapist speech, I’ll walk across glass for him”. They keep going back to the same well, but you know what? “When Democratic policies fail, they are left with only this one exhausted argument: You’re racist, you’re racist, you’re racist.

Republican National Committee spokesman Sean Spicer told MSNBC Clinton was only talking about Trump and race this week to deflect attention from that controversy.
Trump has polled poorly with minorities but lately has tried to broaden his appeal to them, hinting at a softening of his hard-line position on immigration.
And with two months and a half remaining before the 2016 US presidential elections, it looks like both candidates are upping the ante, as they each accused the other side of racism in separate campaign speeches.
They can also unlock “up to 8 levels of activist badges”, with names like “Apprentice”, the name of his reality television show, and “Big League”, a phrase commonly used by the Republican nominee on the campaign trail.
It’s not a surprise that Trump is, as the SPLC put it, a “hero” to the alt-right. “At this time, we have not confirmed that the documents are, in fact, responsive”.
Bannon told the magazine Mother Jones during the Republican National Convention last month that the website was “the platform for the alt-right”, a brand of US political conservatism associated with white nationalism.
Tonight Hillary Clinton going farther than ever before, painting Donald Trump as an extremist.
