Setting the stage on Labor Day for a critical month in their testy presidential campaign, Donald Trump softened his stance on immigration while Hillary Clinton blasted Russian Federation for its suspected tampering in the US electoral process.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump voters have more differences than just who they will vote for.
The start of full-fledged campaigning opens a pivotal month, culminating in the first presidential debate on September 26 at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York.
If the national race is as close as this poll suggests by November, such an enthusiasm gap could spell bad news for Clinton. Trump fans are 17 percent more likely to seek out engine horsepower and torque. Trump supporters are 31 percent more likely to highly value horsepower and torque when picking up a vehicle. Across all 50 states, Ms Clinton does 14 points better among women than men; Mr Trump does 16 points better among men than women. Trump nearly inverts those numbers among whites without degrees, where he does 18 points better on average.
Support for Johnson seems to be concentrated among groups where Clinton could stand to benefit from consolidating voters. Johnson has 12 percent support, and Stein is favored by 4 percent of registered voters.

If you want to see if a shoe has truly dropped, check that one next week when they hit likely voters. Among registered voters, Clinton’s favorables have been trending downward and unfavorables have been trending upward. For example, Clinton voters are 59 percent more likely to buy an electric vehicle.
Hillary Clinton says she takes classification “seriously” and that her inability to remember whether certain meetings occurred doesn’t change her approach on the matter. Forty-nine percent of independents now support Trump while only 29 percent support Clinton.
Trump made course correction by appointing a new campaign head, giving policy speeches and delivering his remarks from teleprompters.
Clinton, who emerged into the public eye after days of raising money from wealthy donors behind closed doors, said she always knew the race would be close.

Trump, the Republican nominee, is set to campaign in Virginia and North Carolina on Tuesday, two critical states in his path to the presidency. With the first event from the Commission on Presidential Debates only a few weeks away, no third party candidate is now tracking at the 15% minimum support required for stage accessibility for that Long Island, NY event. However, the poll showed Pence’s unfavorables 3 percentage points higher than Kaine’s.
