“The Post-SurveyMonkey poll of Texas shows a dead heat with Clinton at 46 percent and Trump at 45 percent”.

Trump has the largest advantage over Clinton when it comes to honesty and trustworthiness. (The race is still particularly tight in Ohio, Florida, and North Carolina, however.) According to the latest NBC News Electoral College map, Clinton is still in the victory zone, with a projected 272 electoral votes to Trump’s 174, with 270 needed to win.
Clinton, the first woman nominated for president by a major US political party, also appeared on ABC, where the former USA secretary of state called the Republican nominee’s mission to Mexico a failure.
Clinton, speaking to reporters aboard her new campaign plane, dubbed Hill Force One, said this “credible report” on the probe, which the Post says is being coordinated by the USA director of national intelligence, shows that we need to be “on guard to protect our electoral system at all levels and we have to make it clear that we’re not going to let anyone interfere with decisions of the American people”.
Kaine was saying Trump tells voters he was opposed to the Iraq War even though he expressed support for it leading up to the US invasion.
Clinton’s comments follow reports that the Russian government may have been involved in the hacking of Democratic National Committee emails just days before the party’s national convention.
Clinton also has a superior ground game to Trump, with dozens more campaign offices in swing states that will work to turn out her base.
Meanwhile, Trump extended a rare invitation to journalists to accompany him on his private plane from Cleveland to Youngstown, Ohio.
However, in a four-way match that includes Johnson (12 percent) and Stein (four per cent), Clinton (41 per cent) has a four-point lead over Trump (37 per cent). “If they stay, they stay, you know”, Trump said, rejecting the notion that he was following Mitt Romney’s 2012 “self-deportation” plan.
Trump’s trouble in appealing to important groups of voters, such as Hispanics, African-Americans and Asians, and self-inflicted wounds “have made it pretty clear he’s highly unlikely to get there”, he said.
The former secretary of state flatly said “No”, when asked in an ABC News interview whether she’d be willing to accept the Mexican president’s invitation to visit the country, as Trump did last week.
Clinton continued to support a no-fly zone in Syria, breaking with the Obama Administration, telling reporters, “I think we need leverage”.
“Mexico will play for the wall”, Trump said.
Clinton added, “I believe I have created so many jobs in the, sort of, conspiracy-theory machine factory”.
Clinton did not directly state that the Russians are trying to tip the election toward Trump, but instead invoked an old saying from Arkansas to answer the question. “So they’re holding her back”.

At the end of July, Trump’s campaign reported raising a total of $128 million in the cycle to date. “And she didn’t have the energy to go to Mexico”.
