Clinton lead reduced to half nationally

No doubt Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have dramatically different approaches on immigration.

In an immigration speech that Trump delivered in Phoenix right after visiting Mexico, the candidate said illegal immigrants who want US citizenship will need to leave the country and head to the back of the line in their home countries, the Associated Press reported. “We were hoping for some glimmer of the Donald Trump that we met with a week and half ago, but it never came”.

Trump’s strategy thus far has catered to his strengths, relying heavily on personal appearances and earned media to get his message out there, Anuzis said.

Hillary Clinton embarks Monday, September 5, on a campaign swing across battleground states, bringing traveling press aboard her plane for the first time as she seeks to regain momentum against her White House rival Donald Trump.

She’s raising huge sums of money and flooding airwaves with television advertisements. Trump has also called for an end to “birthright citizenship”, now granted to anyone born in the United States. Many Republicans have already distanced themselves from him because his hard-right stances and insulting comments have alienated many women, Hispanic and suburban voters.

Vice President Joe Biden gave speeches at union halls in the Democrat-rich Youngstown and Cleveland areas for Clinton and walked door-to-door in a Youngstown neighborhood, greeting and hugging residents after visiting a county fair. The same poll, done by the Tarrance Group and the NRCC, has Clinton ahead of Trump in this district by 3 points.

On Friday, the FBI released notes from its investigation of her email use as secretary of state.

Trump has argued there is dissension between union leaders and rank-and-file members as labor endorsements have piled up for Clinton.

At his campaign rally in Wilmington, Trump did his best to sour any excitement for Clinton.

“That’s misleading your allies, and lying about it to the American people is a poor quality for the president of the United States”, the senator said. “He’s got to sustain this for another couple weeks”.

Trump tried to clarify confusion about immigration, his signature policy issue, in a speech on Wednesday. And given that Trump is likely to enter it behind and in need of a major moment, it has the potential to go in a thousand directions.

Still, the Ohio Republican Party is loyal to Kasich and mobilized to help him win the state’s Republican primary.

There are questions about how this fall’s debates will unfold: Trump has been complaining that two of them conflict with National Football League games, and expressed concern that moderators might not be fair.

Trump and his running mate Mike Pence, Indiana’s governor, have stressed for months that Clinton should face journalists directly about her use of a private email account while she was secretary of state, a scandal which has dogged her for more than a year.

Privately, Republican leaders say it will take more than strong debates for their nominee to alter a race that appears to be leaning in Clinton’s favor.

“Donald Trump has stated very clearly throughout his campaign that he will deport everyone who is undocumented, something that was reinforced in his speech in Arizona”, the campaign said.

“We’re very much on schedule to do what we need to do to turn out the vote for Mr. Trump”, said Bob Paduchik, Trump’s OH state director and one of the most experienced operatives on the Republican’s staff. Paduchik said Trump’s efforts heading into the fall are focused primarily on rallying “disaffected Democrats and independents”.

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton addresses the National Convention of the American Legion in Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. 31, 2016.

68 percent of Latinos say Trump’s views about immigrants and immigration make them less likely to vote for Republican candidates this November – with 58 percent saying those views have made them much less likely to do that.

Consider the four-way national presidential polls from Monmouth University, featuring Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, Green Party candidate Jill Stein alongside Clinton and Trump.

Clinton, though, is not going to stand still when it comes the Hispanic vote.

The US holiday of Labor Day is the traditional starting gun of the final two-plus months of the presidential campaign – a time when even the casual political watcher starts to pay some attention to the race that I (and my fellow political junkies) have spent more than two years of our collective lives thinking and writing about.

That spokesman, Seth Unger, is now among Mandel operatives who are working for Trump’s OH campaign. I now support him, not exclusively for the reason that I am a Republican and he is the nominee, but rather that I strongly agree with his viewpoints on numerous topics. In the battle for control of the Senate, most Republicans in competitive races have stayed away from Trump. The analysis of polls by Real Clear Politics shows a similar trend, with Clinton cutting her lead to four points. Two weeks ago, he rallied supporters in the Lansing area and declared Michigan’s manufacturing sector “a disaster,” a statement that Gov. Rick Snyder rebutted August 26 by noting that the Great Lakes state has generated the most manufacturing jobs in the nation during the past few years.
