“Registered voters are more diverse than the pool of voters who historically show up in Texas elections, but the combination of the slow march of demographic change and Trump’s rhetoric appears to have made Texas’ registered voter pool more Democratic than we have seen in previous presidential races”, said Joshua Blank, Ph.D., Texas Lyceum Research Director.

Mrs Clinton released information from her doctor more than a year ago and provided updated information on Wednesday following her pneumonia diagnosis.
In a move to jump-start momentum, Clinton’s campaign announced on Thursday that U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren of MA and Bernie Sanders of Vermont will campaign for her on Saturday in the battleground state of Ohio.
“From my perspective, I thought I was going to be fine and I thought that there was no reason to make a big fuss about it”, she said.
Until Thursday, the only information on Trump’s health had come in a widely ridiculed letter from his doctor declaring he would be the healthiest person to ever serve as president.
“She is in excellent mental condition”, said Lisa Bardack, her physician, four days after the Democratic nominee wobbled, stumbled and almost collapsed during the 15th anniversary of 9/11 attacks in NY.
Bardack said Clinton became “overheated” and “dehydrated” during the 9/11 event on Sunday.
Clinton will spend Thursday campaigning in Greensboro, North Carolina, and speaking to a Hispanic group in Washington. A New York Times/CBS News poll released on Thursday showed Clinton had the support of 46 percent of likely voters nationwide, with 44 percent backing Trump.
In conclusion, Dr. Bardack wrote that “Mrs. Clinton has remained healthy and has not developed new medical conditions this year other than a sinus and ear infection and her recently diagnosed pneumonia”.
“She continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as President of the United States”, said Dr. Lisa Bardarck, Clinton’s personal doctor.
The Republican nominee, meanwhile, handed over a one-page summary of a recent physical exam to the celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz while taping an episode of Oz’s talk show.
Clinton, 68, has blood pressure of 100 over 70, and her total cholesterol is 189, according to her doctor.
Donald Trump on Wednesday evening went back to ignoring his TelePrompter and hitting old favorite campaign themes in front of throngs of fans – and took a swipe a Hillary Clinton’s weekend health issues. She has also had a normal mammogram and breast ultrasound, according to the letter.
Trump, in an interview Thursday morning on “Fox and Friends” said he is 6-foot-3 and 236 pounds – giving him a body mass index falling into the “overweight” range.
The letter from Mrs Clinton’s doctor made no mention of her weight, a key part of any medical exam, nor did a similar letter released a year ago.

“Now we have one [opponent] left, and in all fairness, she’s lying in bed getting better, and we want her better”, Trump said”. The letter says Mr Kaine is in “overall excellent health”, has never smoked and has “modest” alcohol use.
