Trump and Clinton start the race to November 8, with the NY billionaire topping Clinton 45 to 43 per cent in the new survey, with Libertarian Gary Johnson standing at seven per cent among likely voters in this poll and the Green Party’s Jill Stein at just two per cent, CNN reported. Trump called Clinton a failed foreign policy leader.

“We’re sticking with our strategy, we feel very good about where we are”, she said.
The schedules of the presidential candidates and their surrogates this week continue to point out North Carolina’s importance in the race for the White House, which culminates on Election Day Nov. 8. Clinton criticized the NY real estate magnate for the comments.

Clinton and her running mate, Tim Kaine, were making a pronounced pitch on national security and defense policy on Tuesday, fanning out to military-rich communities of Tampa, Florida, and Wilmington, North Carolina.
Trump assured veterans in Virginia Beach that he was in their corner, and used the opportunity to slam Clinton’s ineffectiveness as a top diplomat and politician.
Trump, meanwhile, continued to face questions about his immigration policy a day after refusing to rule out a pathway to legal status for immigrants in the country illegally.

The letter, signed by 88 retired generals and admirals, cites an urgent need for a “course correction” in national security. Clinton had 44% support of registered voters, Trump had 41%, Johnson had 9%, and Stein came in with 3% backing. The victor will replace President Barack Obama when he leaves office in January.
