Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are bringing their fight for the White House back to North Carolina this week. Whites mostly support Trump (55% to 34%), while non-whites favor Clinton by a almost 4-to-1 margin (71% to 18%).

Adding to Trump’s conundrum are his struggles among college-educated whites, where polls suggest he lags behind Romney’s performance.

Mrs. Obama’s task will be to urge all voters, but especially young people, in hotly contested Virginia to support Clinton and running mate Tim Kaine in the November 8 election.

But the shift is bigger than that, as we can see when we compare the network’s July poll with its new one.

Kaine was saying Trump tells voters he was opposed to the Iraq War even though he expressed support for it leading up to the USA invasion.

The lack of enthusiasm spikes among Clinton supporters.

Trump’s chances rose to 28 percent from 10 percent during that period.

Trump has his largest edge as the more honest and trustworthy of the two major candidates, with 50 percent saying he is more honest and trustworthy vs. just 35 percent choosing Clinton. The poll found 32 percent of Johnson’s supporters are younger than 30, which is more than double Clinton’s 15 percent and Trump’s 12 percent. “For this reason, we support Donald Trump’s candidacy to be our next commander-in-chief”. People (and candidates) cherry-pick particular surveys not because they have evaluated the methodologies of firms and have decided that one poll is better; they cherry-pick polls to make an emotional or rhetorical point.

The latest CNN survey was conducted September 1-4 among 1,001 adults, with a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points. Trump voters, on the other hand, they want power.
