At the end of September, prior to the first presidential debate, the real-estate mogul was closing in on Clinton in the polls. White men with no college degrees break for Trump by 66-28 percent, while the two candidates run virtually even with white women.

The District of Columbia also allows early voting. Clinton also leads Trump among young whites likely to vote (51 percent vs. 23 percent). “We’ve seen that Donald Trump’s voters are willing to talk about Donald Trump”, he said. This has proven to be very successful in certain parts of the country and in off-year elections, but it has not worked very well at all in presidential years.
Florida was the closest swing state in 2012, with President Obama winning it by less than a point.
Only some of the 37 states that allow early voting make public the number of registered Democrats and Republicans who requested early ballots and voted early, so final numbers won’t be known until Election Day.
The poll comes almost a week after an Arizona State University poll showed Clinton up by 5 points in Arizona. Arizona last voted for a Democrat in 1996 and Texas supported Democrat Jimmy Carter back in 1976. The Cook Political Report’s veteran Senate-watcher Jennifer Duffy has revised her forecast to project Democratic gains of five to seven seats (a net gain of four seats would flip control to the Democrats, assuming Tim Kaine is vice president and casts a tie-breaking vote). Remember, it takes 270 out of the 538 electoral votes to win the presidency.
“It’s not as if it’s just Republicans who have monkeyed around with elections in the past”. Hurd’s heated rematch against Democrat Pete Gallego has emerged as the state’s most contested congressional race.
“The criminal conduct of Hillary Clinton threatens the foundations of our democracy”, Trump said, after the Tallahassee crowd broke into chants of “Lock her up!” “He’s got to win voters in Florida, Ohio, perhaps Colorado and Nevada”.
There was the whole thing about her playing down the threat of voter fraud, even as he was doubling down. “So he has a heavy load in front of him”.
White House rivals Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump staged dueling rallies in the crucial battleground of Florida on Tuesday, October 25, blitzing the diverse state as the clock ticks down on the tumultuous presidential race. Clinton now leads among likely voters 18 to 30 years in age by 60 percent to 19 percent, according to a new GenForward survey. In 1980, whites made up 88 percent of the electorate.
Trump, said Salvanto, still has around 20 percent of Republicans – whom he calls the “reluctant Republicans” – largely suburban women – who have been reluctant to support him.
Recent national polls show Democrats with an advantage on the generic ballot ranging from 3 to 6 points. And the reason is no surprise: white voters.
Majorities of young adults in every racial and ethnic group believe that Hillary Clinton’s description of Donald Trump’s supporters as “deplorable” is mostly accurate. It’s smaller than that.
