Clinton’s lead slips below 2 percent — UPI/CVoter poll

Trump’s giving has been tied to email appeals to his supporters, promising to “match” their donations up to $2 million.

Trump has repeatedly pledged to spend a total of $100 million or more on the election.

Though data is not available for all early voting states, Clinton enjoys an edge in swing states such as OH and Arizona and in Republican Party strongholds such as Georgia and Texas. But in Pennsylvania, your only chance to cast your ballot – if you’re not voting absentee or by mail – is on November 8.

These are not results – ballots aren’t tallied until Election Day.

At the raucous rally, Mrs. Obama passionately touted Clinton’s experience and denounced Trump as too divisive and thin-skinned for the White House.

The NBC/WSJ/Marist poll of Florida was conducted October 25-26 of 990 registered voters (which has a margin of error of plus-minus 3.1 percentage points) and 779 likely voters (plus-minus 3.5 percentage points).

The pollsters pointed out that the wild gyrations in the race do have a precedent.

Clinton’s continued fundraising edge in the latest filings, which cover the first 19 days of the month, helps ensure the Democratic nominee can maintain her sprawling political operation in the frantic final days of the race.

Trump’s share of the Virginia vote has risen 10 percentage points from his low of 29 percent in CNU’s October 16 survey, which followed release of the 2005 tape in which Trump bragged about his ability to grope women. Clinton has led Trump among women over the last two months, though the size of her advantage has varied widely from 1 point to 11 points.

For months, most polls have shown Clinton leading Trump in the popular vote.

The race between Trump and Clinton represents a battle between two of the least liked major party candidates in history.

The celebrity businessman said he believed Clinton would seek passage of the 12-nation Trans Pacific Partnership, one of the trade agenda goals of the Obama administration, which she now opposes.

He is slightly ahead in OH, but the race is tight enough that he was holding three campaign events in the state on Thursday.

For one, Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, has said that even though he could not endorse Trump nor his actions, he still plans to vote for the Republican nominee.

Clinton leads among independents by 7 percentage points, 46 percent to 39 percent. Obama holds a rally for Clinton in Florida on Friday evening.

Overall turnout is down for both Democrats and Republicans this year in Iowa.

Still, 44 percent say they’re less likely to vote for her because of hacked information about what she said during private speeches for which she has long refused to release transcripts. She has a double-digit lead on him for almost two weeks, and the recent decline is a concern for Hillary’s campaign.

But in-person turnout has been strong in Democratic-heavy Clark County, which includes Las Vegas.

Early voting data for Florida and North Carolina was not yet available this week. “Voting is a right and a duty”. At this point four years ago, they led Republicans by 167,401, or 20.5 points, in the early vote.

Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson had 4% support and Green Party’s Jill Stein had 1%. At this point in 2012, black voters were 30 percent of the electorate.

As of Friday, nearly 680,000 people have already voted in the battleground state, which is down about 18 percent from the early voting turnout levels in 2012.

OH has favored the next president all but twice since 1896. There are even favorable signs for Clinton in Republican-leaning Utah and Texas, according to the Associated Press.
