Clinton, Trump almost even two months out – polls

Nearly half of voters say they are less enthusiastic about voting this year than in previous elections, with just 42% reporting that they’re more excited.

When including third party candidates Jill Stein, of the Green Party, and Gary Johnson, of the Libertarian Party, Clinton maintained her lead, with a 48 to 29 percent edge over Trump. For results among registered or likely voters, the margin of error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Both candidates are hitting the campaign trail again Tuesday in key election states where the outcome is uncertain, with Trump in the mid-Atlantic states of Virginia and North Carolina, and Clinton in the southeastern state of Florida.

But the poll found Trump is trailing Clinton in this area across the country, even in some very red states.

Clinton said that “a man who is so wrong about our veterans isn’t right to serve as commander in chief”.

Instead of the substance of her speech, what some may take away from Hillary Clinton’s Labor Day Rally was the catch in her throat.

This weekend, both campaigns spent time in OH – one of the critical battleground states – and their planes were even on the same tarmac and the same airport at the same time.

Clinton powered through a coughing fit at a Labor Day festival at a Cleveland park, sharply criticizing Trump’s recent trip to Mexico as “an embarrassing worldwide incident”. A majority of Clinton’s supporters say they’re less excited about voting this year than usual (55%) while most of Trump’s backers say they’re more excited this time around (56%).

Trump told reporters Monday that “on occasion”, he will invite journalists to travel with him.

Later on Monday, ABC News’s David Muir asked Trump if some of the 11 million undocumented immigrants now in the country would be allowed to stay. It also allows her to target Republican-leaning voters who have been turned off by Trump.

She continued, “I think it’s quite intriguing that this activity has happened around the time [Donald] Trump became the nominee”. In a late August poll conducted by the Feldman Group, Trump and Clinton were tied with 39 percent of the vote each in a four-candidate field.

Her calendar is once again full of public events from Florida to OH, and her allies-including two presidents and two erstwhile primary opponents-are fanning out across the country for her. Clinton spoke at length twice in two days with reporters on her plane and glad-handed with voters in Tampa and Cleveland. The emails, later revealed by WikiLeaks, showed some DNC officials favoring Clinton over her primary opponent, Bernie Sanders – who has since endorsed Clinton for president. Trump is unlikely to be crushed if conservatives support him.

In addition to leading Trump in MA, the former secretary of state almost doubled her GOP rival in expected electoral votes, winning 244 of the 270 needed to clinch the White House, compared to Trump’s his 126, according to the survey released Tuesday.

Kaine also claims that the Islamic State is rooting for a Trump victory in November.

Donald Turmp bristled when asked if he had “choked” during his meeting with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto. “There are so many of them, I’ve lost track of them”. We’ll win. 100 percent.

A spokesman for the National September 11 Memorial & Museum told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are not slated to attend the annual commemoration at the former World Trade Center site on Sunday. The Morning News doesn’t say-Clinton’s name isn’t even mentioned.
