Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is widening her lead over Donald Trump in a new national poll out Sunday, bolstered in part by her party’s consolidation of support after the conclusion of their national convention in July.

“My plan will also reduce the cost of child care by allowing parents to fully deduct the average cost of child care spending from their taxes”, Trump said. Clinton’s emails had nothing to with Amiri’s execution, but Donald Trump has never meshed well with facts or reality. Mr. Manafort also cautioned that it was only the beginning of a three-month general-election campaign and said Mr. Trump would start doing “what he needs to do”.
“I am proposing an across the board income tax reduction, especially for middle income Americans”, said Trump.
Seeking to move beyond a week of discord, Trump will outline in the speech in Detroit his plans for trade, taxes and regulation and contrast his ideas for economic growth with those of Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. His plan is to slash corporate taxes from 35% to 15%.
Trump got entangled in days of dispute with the parents of a Muslim American soldier who was killed in the Iraq war, and sparred with party leaders.
“I have heard Hillary Clinton say over and over again, when I’ve been sitting next to her and when I’ve watched her on TV, that with respect to the emails, ‘I made a mistake and I learned something I wouldn’t do it again”, Tim Kaine said, quoting Clinton.
Clinton, a Democrat like President Barack Obama, will be buoyed in part by figures released on Friday showing US employment rose more than expected for the second month in a row in July and wages picked up, bolstering expectations of faster economic growth. He has fallen behind Clinton by 5 to 10 percentage points in polls.
Sen. Susan Collins, one of the most moderate Republicans in the Senate, said Monday she will not be voting for Donald Trump for president.
The Clinton campaign has criticized Trump over the advisory group, announced on Friday, for including no women and relying on members who come from hedge funds and investment banking, a make-up at odds somewhat with Trump’s populist message. Almost three-quarters of registered voters – 74 percent – said they disapproved of how Trump managed the situation. “The other party has reached backwards into the past to choose a nominee from yesterday – who offers only the rhetoric of yesterday and the policies of yesterday”, Trump said.

But a CNN poll in June and a more recent Fox News survey found that voters trust Trump more than Clinton on the economy. A Reuters/Ipsos poll out on Friday showed the race closer three months ahead of the November 8 presidential election. Clinton has proposed hiking the estate tax to 45 percent and reducing the exemption to $3.5 million, according to analysis of Clinton’s tax plan conducted by the Tax Foundation.
