Hillary Clinton has shrugged off Donald Trump’s latest campaign shake-up, saying he is the “same man” who would cut taxes for rich people while she would force the super-wealthy to pay more.

But it’s not all bad news for Trump, who enjoys an 11-point edge over Clinton in IN, a state that went narrowly for President Barack Obama in 2008 before swinging to Mitt Romney, who won there by 10 points in 2012.
Brown also wrote that Colorado’s “burgeoning Hispanic population” could help explain why Trump is having difficulties in the state and that a demographic shift in the Democratic-leaning Washington, D.C., suburbs in Virginia has helped Clinton. In Iowa, 846 likely voters were surveyed with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 points.
A separate poll conducted by the same source factored in Jill Stein and Gary Johnson.
Virginia breaks down similarly, with Clinton losing only a single point off her 12-point (50% to 38%) head-to-head advantage over Trump when Johnson and Stein are added as options. The margin of error was plus or minus 3.4 percentage points. Trump is 18 points off Clinton’s pace with women voters, and 97% of Democrats in The Hawkeye State are poised to vote for the former secretary of state, while Trump is winning only 85% of Republicans.
While most Texans identify as Republican (41 percent), 24 percent say they are independent while the remaining 35 percent identify as Democrat.
“Importantly, she also lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on ISIS and all of the many adversaries we face, not only in terrorism, but in trade, and every other challenge we must confront to turn our great country around”, Trump said in his speech in Youngstown, Ohio.
A poll done by NBC/Wall Street Journal/Marist found voters in Colorado, North Carolina and Virginia held “unfavorable” opinions of Trump by 69 percent, 62 percent and 66 percent respectively.
The telephone polls were conducted August 9-16.
