What: Speakers, campaign and candidate information, food and more. If it weren’t for Trump, in fact, Clinton would be the most unpopular major-party presidential nominee in modern American history.
With our country heading in the right direction, but with still a lot more work to be done, Hillary Clinton is the only candidate positioned to expand on Barack Obama’s outstanding job as president and the only candidate that can make sure that more Americans, no matter their gender, sexual identity, religion, or ethnicity, are able to have a fair shot at the American Dream. He has said he wouldn’t cut Medicare and he won’t stand for people “dying on the street”, but his health care plan is basically a collection of Republican talking points.
Trump also received applause when he promised to stop Syrian refugees, many of whom he has characterized as terrorists and extremists, from entering the United States, citing plans to build a safe zone overseas to house them.
Clinton and Trump will surely try to project positive images of themselves, experts say, “but for both of them, [the negatives] are so deeply baked in, it’s hard to see how” they can substantially reverse their unfavorable ratings, says Republican pollster Ed Goeas.

Her favorable rating among women dropped from 54 percent to just 45 percent.
The unfavorable percentage was even higher for Mrs. Clinton among registered voters, and lower for Trump: 59 percent for Clinton and 60 percent of Trump.
Could they drive down their own negatives with positive, advocacy ads about themselves? Trump’s following among Republicans has fallen to 71 per cent, from 76 last week; Clinton is at 73 per cent, down from 79 previously.
In Fox’s first four-way poll of the candidates, Clinton gets 41 per cent and Trump 39.
