With U.S. stocks touching record highs in recent days, voters are divided on whether they agree with Trump’s recent assessment that the market is a “big bubble”.

Nearly half of voters, 49 percent, say they’d support former President Bill Clinton advising his wife on economic policy, should she win the White House, while 34 percent oppose that idea.

“One is Hillary Clinton”, Walker said to a chorus of boos.

USA voters with investments in stocks and mutual funds have lost considerable confidence in Donald Trump when it comes to their portfolios, with a growing share saying they would alter their asset mix if he’s elected president.

Trump’s decision not to run ads was unprecedented in modern campaigns and gave his rival, Hillary Clinton, a enormous advantage when it came to the airwaves.

The number of likely voters who picked neither Clinton nor Trump in the poll was almost 24 percent.

The GOP presidential nominee has made stricter immigration measures a central part of his proposals for defeating the Islamic State – a battle he said Monday is akin to the struggle against communism during the Cold War.

Republican Donald Trump says he has no plans to pivot to another style for the general election, despite the urging of party leaders.

On Tuesday, Mr Trump was travelling to Milwaukee, the site of ongoing protests over the fatal shooting of a black man by a black police officer.

Among those present were Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke and Inspector Edward Bailey.

“Those peddling the narrative of cops as a racist force in our society, a narrative supported with a nod by my opponent, share directly in the responsibility for the unrest in Milwaukee and many other places within our country”, Trump said to cheers, according to the Daily Beast.

Mrs Clinton said during a stop in Scranton, Pennsylvania, on Monday that the Milwaukee protests showed the nation had “urgent work to do to rebuild trust between police and communities” and that “everyone should have respect for the law and be respected by the law”. “And then I find a few minutes to watch the Olympics, I think my goodness, you know, when you go out and compete, not everybody can win but you got to do your best”, Clinton said.

Trump visited Milwaukee, which is still grappling with the violence that erupted after a police shooting on Saturday, before his rally here but did not hold any public events.

Those with more than $50,000 invested are more likely to view Clinton as better for their portfolios than Trump, 46 percent to 36 percent. “If it is true, people shouldn’t be rioting”, he added.

If Hillary Clinton became the President of the United States, three out of five Texans say they would support a bid by the state to secede from the Union.

Clinton said at the voter registration event at a Philadelphia high school that she’s “not taking anybody anywhere for granted” in the race for the White House, saying the stakes “could not be higher”.

The team will oversee planning for a potential Clinton administration should the Democratic nominee win in November.
