While Trump publicly maintains support from numerous high-ranking GOP officials, a striking number of discussions among Republicans in Washington often begin with an assumption that Clinton will be president come January. By contrast, a Fox News poll found that in a four-way race, Clinton leads Trump 41% to 39%.

National polls have tightened since the end of two major parties’ national convention in late July, but Clinton maintains leads in nearly all battleground states.
Since we’re sifting through polls, here’s an interesting question from Pew’s new one.
But numerous millions came from some of the wealthiest and most powerful Democrats in the country who met with Clinton in private homes “from Greenwich, Conn., to Nantucket, Mass., to Beverly Hills, Calif.”, according to the Washington Post. Other minority voters prefer Clinton 43% to 35%. Barack Obama won in the Tar Heel State in 2008 but lost in 2012, and in both elections he won over 300 electoral votes.
This is not to suggest that Donald Trump has fared any better when it comes to tackling tough questions on his policies on immigration and the state of the American economy, but at least he is not pretending to be the media’s darling either.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton poses for a photograph with neighborhood children following a fundraiser at a private home in Sagaponack, N.Y., Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2016. 7% go for Gary Johnson and again 2% for Jill Stein.

Democrats now see a clear path to taking back control of the Senate, with party leaders identifying Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania as favorable opportunities to pick up seats. “It’s not so much that Donald Trump is doing better with Latino voters, but she’s doing worse”. Hillary was at 39 percent a month ago and remains there now. Her claim that Alex Jones, a talk-show host and Trump supporter, had said the Sandy Hook mass murder of school children was a hoax was rated true, based on video clips of Jones.

But Trump’s starting point was far lower, and below that of a typical Republican candidate. 72% of likely voters in Pennsylvania say Toomey is a “different kind of Republican” from Donald Trump, while 66% in North Carolina say the same for Burr. The survey, conducted for immigration advocacy group America’s Voice, also found that support for Trump rose from 11 percent in April to 19 percent in August.
