Despite a small dip in her numbers from last month, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is maintaining a strong lead over Republican Donald Trump in NY, a new poll shows. Quinnipiac’s July New York poll showed a closer race than Siena shows, though Clinton led in the head-to-head matchup in that poll, too (47-35 percent statewide).
Days before Hillary Clinton called Donald Trump’s supporters “deplorable”, she used similar but even more severe language, calling Trump’s supporters “racists” in an interview with Israeli television’s Yonit Levi (who is extremely sympathetic to Clinton).
Hilary Clinton has since appeared on Fallon’s show, reassuring the country she took time out of the current election run to recover from her illness.
The Washington Post newspaper reports that some political experts are preparing to blame Donald Trump if the Republicans fail to win the presidency.
“More than half of North Carolina voters will cast their ballots ahead of Election Day, which is why we have been working tirelessly to give voters all the information they need to make their voices heard”, said Dan Kanninen, the Clinton campaign’s senior adviser for North Carolina.
However Clinton played along with the joke and laughed before insisting: “I’m not contagious…”
Trump slammed Clinton for an “open borders policy” and for allowing, as secretary of state, “thousands of criminal aliens to be released into our communities”.
They are statistically tied, because the poll’s survey of almost 800 registered voters September 12-16 has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points. But many of them are small states. It is possible for a candidate to win the national popular vote, but not win the Electoral College.
Reuters says that Pennsylvania has been moved from a likely win for Clinton to a tossup; OH has been moved from a tossup to a likely win for Clinton. She had a 25 percentage-point lead last month.
