The Reuters/Ipsos data showed only half of Republicans would accept Clinton as their president, and almost 70 per cent of them said a Clinton victory would be because of illegal voting or vote rigging.

Clinton has said she will accept the results of the election no matter the outcome. “By doing that, he’s threatening our democracy”.
Donald Trump gained on Hillary Clinton among American voters this week, cutting her lead almost in half despite a string of women accusing him of unwanted sexual advances and the furor over his disputed claims that the election process is rigged, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Friday.
Trump also was asked about a statement his father made Saturday at a Gettysburg, Pa., rally regarding pursuing legal action against his female accusers.
Donald Trump took a rare swipe at Michelle Obama on the campaign trail on Friday.
Democratic vice presidential nominee Senator Tim Kaine slammed Trump for him praising authoritarian leaders, using Chinese steel and aluminium instead of American-made metals and attacking on the USA military even though he paid no federal income taxes for years to support it.
Despite isolated allegations of voter fraud, controversy over the tight 2000 vote and rampant gerrymandering, U.S. elections have been regarded as free and fair.
Clinton later also received some hisses from the crowd after she joked about Trump’s previous rating of women and his alleged friendship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, USA Today reported.
But Trump, continuing to be Trump, veered back into campaign mode soon afterwards.
“Remember folks, it’s a rigged system”, Trump told a Pennsylvania rally on Friday.
A win in Florida would nearly assuredly seal a Clinton victory, since polling indicates the most realistic paths to the White House for Trump include the Sunshine State.
“Some people think that might be tough for me”, he said to laughter.
Obama said such reasoning shows that Rubio cares only about himself. “I will be happy with myself”, he added. “Now I thought, ‘This is the evening at its best'”.
Clinton is narrowly leading in polling in North Carolina, a state Obama won in 2008 but lost to Republican Mitt Romney in 2012.
Trump then cracked a joke about Wikileaks, which has been publishing hacked emails from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.
“She’s the one that started that”, he said of Obama’s comments.
He said the same things during a rally in North Carolina during the day, where he also called the current United States administration “losers” and “babies”.
“Donald thinks belittling women makes him bigger”, Hillary Clinton said at the debate on October 19, 2016.
Obama said Trump is the first major party nominee in US history to suggest he will not accept a loss.
The couple subsequently denied suggestions it was a swipe at Ms Clinton’s relationship with her husband Bill, saying it was about their own attempts to balance family and politics. Trump in September brought in about 250 contributions from CT residents totaling $104,931. But one of the things that we share is the belief that in order to achieve salvation we need both faith and good works.
