The two candidates’ responses aptly reflected what each sees as a winning argument – for Clinton, an appeal to steady leadership and presidential bearing, and for Trump, a get-tough message.

Mr Obama, who is eager to see fellow Democrat Hillary Clinton succeed him in office, told a fundraiser for her in NY that the election between his former secretary of state and Republican businessman Donald Trump should not be close.
The survey, released Tuesday and conducted from September 16 to September 19, showed Clinton was at 46 percent.
Trump alleged that refusing to call out radical Islam will not lessen the danger, it will only increase and embolden the danger – just like they have seen during her disastrous and failed tenure as secretary of state.
In fact, the State Senate has scored the highest approval rating in the history of the poll, at 48 percent, with the Assembly at 44 percent.
Trump’s results, on the other hand, shifted week to week depending on the stories in the news. Clinton had held a slight lead in Nevada.
“It’s a reality show”, he said. Both candidates have had leads in Florida.
Trump met Tuesday in NY with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi during the Egyptian president’s visit to the UN General Assembly.
TRUMP: No, not really. “Lester’s a Democrat”, Trump told Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly. He expressed great respect for Egypt’s history and the important leadership role it has played in the Middle East.
The survey gave the Democratic candidate 47 per cent of the state’s support compared to 38 per cent for her Republican rival.
Sixty-two percent said they would prefer more Obama, to only five percent who would take Trump’s direction.
Trump pledged that his administration would have no tolerance for terrorists who threaten the United States.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign, shrugging off polling that has shown a tightening presidential race, insists that her path to the presidency remains clearer than Donald Trump’s.
