Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s lead over Republican challenger Donald Trump has dropped to 5 percent, according to the Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll released Friday.
Trump hinted at “softening” his position on immigration last week with Fox News’ Sean Hannity – saying “there’s no amnesty, but we work with them”, while referring undocumented immigrants who have lived in the USA for many years with no criminal histories. Such polls also indicate Clinton is ahead in some of the most competitive and pivotal states, with 72 days remaining before Election Day.

On Saturday, the Washington Post reported that Trump did say he would strengthen the country’s E-verify system as well as put forth other plans to track immigrants coming in and out of the country.
“They are often the kinds of kids that are called super predators”, Clinton says in a clip from the ’90s. She is also targeting moderate voters – especially Republicans – by depicting Trump and his supporters as extremists, and casting the race as “not a normal choice between a Republican and a Democrat”.
“What you heard him describe there, in his usual plainspoken, American way, was a mechanism, not a policy”, the nominee said.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has canceled a speech on his immigration plan scheduled for August 31 in Arizona, the second time he has postponed an address on the signature issue in his campaign.
