That’s the finding from a Pew Research Center study of a month’s worth of survey data.
Though Trump raised more small donations than Clinton, the Wall Street Journal reports that in August she raised about $20 million more than he did.
What do voters hear when Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, in interview after interview, praises his running mate Donald Trump’s “broad shoulders”?
A lot of other assumptions are built into that too, of course – Clinton holds on in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Colorado, but Trump runs the table everywhere else and, as I say, pulls the upset in WI.
Donald Trump suggested Wednesday that his statement late last week that President Barack Obama was born in the USA was motivated by politics, not by a genuine change of heart. In August, she brought in $31.4 million through her own joint fundraising effort with the Democratic National Committee.
The left-leaning Public Policy Polling sent a release out Wednesday showing Trump leads the race in the state by two percentage points.

“She calls the patriotic Americans who support our campaign – many of them cops and soldiers – deplorable. So we really want to get just back onto the subject of jobs, military, taking care of our vets, et cetera”. His way or the highway.
Clinton said her plan would expand Low Income Housing Tax Credits in high cost areas to grow the affordable housing supply and spark community development.

Clinton has said she hasn’t smoked marijuana.
“I say to the African-American community, ‘What do you have to lose?’ I’m going to fix it”, Trump said. “But that’s nothing compared to how afraid I am of a Trump presidency”.

“I have no doubt there are very real benefits for people”, Clinton said of marijuana in a town hall in February. Yet: “She may have faults, but against Trump she is a peach”.
