Clinton Raised $143 Million in August for Campaign, Party

A recent presidential election poll puts Donald Trump ahead of Hillary Clinton by 45% to 43%. Krueger advised watching the four aforementioned states as a bellwether. Surveys by Fox News and Reuters showed Trump down just two points in a four-way race with Clinton, Libertarian Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein. Surprisingly, in this poll Donald Trump actually performed worse than Clinton on this question, with 61 percent saying he isn’t honest and trustworthy.

Many of these millions of dollars came from some of the wealthiest and most powerful Democrats in the country, who met privately with Clinton in homes “from Greenwich, Conn., to Nantucket, Mass., to Beverly Hills, Calif.”, as The Washington Post documented at length.

Clinton’s investment states like Arizona and Georgia – another state the campaign pledged to spend more on organizing – is less about a sure-fire belief that Clinton will win them, but rather to expand the battleground map and make Trump fight hard for those two red states.

The State Department agreed Thursday to turn over all the detailed planning schedules from Hillary Clinton’s time as secretary of state to The Associated Press by mid-October. For Hillary Clinton, the period between now and November will likely be focused on maintaining her course, whilst advisers continue to prep for the possibility of a landslide victory.

Clinton has already saturated the airwaves in key states with television ads, while Trump has spent nearly nothing on the general election. In all of those states but North Carolina, the former secretary of state is ahead of the NY real-estate mogul, according to the most recent poll averages from RealClearPolitics.

National polls have tightened since the Democratic National Convention in July, but Clinton maintains leads in nearly all battleground states.

Trump also leads among white men, and Clinton leads among white women. The margin of error is 4.6 percentage points.

A new USA Today/Suffolk University poll found that the majority of voters are driven more by fear of the other candidate winning than they are by excitement over their preferred candidate winning.
