“I do not know which Donald Trump will show up”, she said at a recent fundraiser in NY.

That’s compared with 41 percent of Trump voters who say their vote is more for Trump, versus 51 percent who say it’s more being against Clinton.
If you buy that argument, Trump could have an advantage over Clinton on the debate stage. Landline telephone numbers were randomly selected based upon a list of telephone exchanges from throughout the nation from ASDE Survey Sampler, Inc.
Likely voters by 53-39 think Trump has more physical stamina for the job than Hillary Clinton, according to a new McClatchy-Marist poll.
“He was always a decent guy even with his marriages and everything”, said David Singer, a retiree from Simsbury, Connecticut. Just as he’s claimed the only way he can lose the election is if it’s stolen from him, he’s been saying the debates are rigged against him. “The big issue for me this year is why are these the two that got the nominations?”
“I have to believe he is doing something because it would be foolish to go in there and not practice at hearing lines”, he said. Among registered voters, a majority of support for Clinton is just that – support for Clinton (as opposed to support against Trump).
Voters seem to share Clinton’s concerns. Only 24 percent consider him at least somewhat civil, while half consider him at least somewhat racist. The rest of them nearly always vote for Republicans or Democrats. Clinton’s campaign spent much of the summer casting Trump as a unsafe force in American society, one that consorts with racists, anti-Semites and white supremacists.
Following the Commander-in-Chief Forum, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign expressed frustration with the media’s lack of fact-checking of her opponent. “We have to stand up to this hate”.
The comment helped Democrats paint the GOP nominee as a heartless plutocrat only concerned about protecting the wealthy, a message they’d been pushing for months through a barrage of battleground state ads.
But the campaign’s traditional approach to raising money is maddening to many Democrats, particularly liberals who have witnessed the evolution of online fundraising and are baffled at why Clinton is so committed to an approach they see as almost as dated as torchlight parades.
Clinton also leads Trump among Latinos by 74-16.
The 90-minute face-off at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, the first of three debates, takes place at a time when Clinton’s once-comfortable lead in opinion polls over the former reality TV star has evaporated.
The 30-second ad shows young girls and women looking in the mirror as they hear Trump describe various women as “fat”, a “slob” and one who “ate like a pig”.
Moreover, most voters oppose the hard-line approach to immigration that is a centerpiece of the billionaire businessman’s campaign. (Each state gets one vote) Given that the Republicans are in majority right now, which they are likely to retain in November, Trump will become President.
Kaine also criticized Trump’s campaign for selling buttons on its website that say “Hillary for prison”.
Clinton has tried to meld her need to raise money for advertisements and voter-turnout efforts with her retail campaign. “You’re not sure who is going to show up”, Jennifer Palmieri, Clinton’s communication director, told reporters on Wednesday. “All of a sudden it’s like it’s OK to act on it”.
Results are based on 758 likely voters surveyed between September 15-20.
