Clinton, Trump battling for OH at start of final campaign stretch

Trump allowed a small pool of reporters and photographers to join him aboard his private plane Monday between campaign stops in OH – a first, which came on the same day Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton took her inaugural flight on a plane with her entire traveling press corps. Two months from Election Day, Hilla. In addition to many potential voters feeling as though she is untrustworthy, the Federal Bureau of Investigation referred to her as “extremely careless”, which is the last thing you want in a presidential candidate.

Millions of voters will watch the debates, which offer her an opportunity and a challenge. Most Republican candidates have tied themselves in knots to separate, but not break, from their tempestuous nominee.

An average of all recent polls showed Clinton’s lead at 3.9 points, less than half what it was a month ago, The Telegraph added.

Clinton acknowledges that the debates could be pivotal. “I’ve thought about Johnson, but I haven’t begun reading up on him. And 60 million will be paying attention to the campaign for the first time”.

“I certainly don’t want Trump to get in, but Clinton worries me”, said Moreno, a registered Democrat who works as a process server in the Phoenix area.

Both campaigns expect enormous audiences for the debates. (This particular survey did not include Gary Johnson or Jill Stein as options.) Trump and Clinton each win 79 percent of the vote from members of their own party; Trump holds a 48-29 lead over Clinton among independents.

The Democratic and Republican presidential nominees are campaigning in the populous Midwestern state on Labor Day just two months before voters go to the polls, EFE news reported. Applying pressure on Trump, Clinton is advertising in GOP-leaning Arizona and in an Omaha, Nebraska, congressional district. Later in the day, she was joining with labor leaders in the Quad Cities community of Hampton, Illinois, across the Mississippi River from Iowa, where she is locked in a tight contest with Trump.

Clinton must be able to deftly deal with such a development, and there are plenty of contenders on the horizon.

If Trump can’t close the gap, Republicans will likely encourage more ticket splitting by explicitly urging voters to maintain a GOP Senate as a check on Clinton. The Daily Kos also reports that Trump was sued by the Justice Department for refusing to rent to minority tenants. But the negative tone of the campaign could dampen turnout and make Clinton’s task more hard. “Poll numbers way up – making big progress!” Bill Clinton will also visit North Carolina in Durham on Tuesday.

Even if Trump has spent more of his time to date speaking to majority-white crowds in majority-white communities, he’s not yet made the sale with white men.

Her saving grace during the campaign has been Trump’s high negative ratings, untrustworthiness and penchant for saying provocative things that have turned off many voters.

Even if she wins in November, this is a problem could haunt Clinton in the White House. She has been incredibly vague about why she believes he should be elected.
