A new poll released by the The Arizona Republic and Arizona State University shows Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump neck and neck in the state, with a sizable group of voters as yet undecided. These four states and their 82 electoral votes could swing the general election in November – and they’re still as up for grabs as they’ve ever been.

Keeping in line with other national and state polls, women break for Clinton in the CNN/ORC Poll 53 percent to 38 percent, and men support Trump 54 percent to 32 percent.
And so, in a press conference that lasted less than 20 minutes, Clinton achieved exactly what she set out to do: End the criticisms that she had gone the entire year without a press conference, and move the narrative beyond Thursday night’s forum. Currently, the Democratic nominee holds a 16-point lead in the Northeast – 53 percent to 37 percent – and a 16-point lead in the West.
“Wow, Hillary Clinton was SO INSULTING to my supporters, millions of incredible, hard working people”.
Meanwhile, Trump, 70, attacked Clinton over the email controversy.
The Trump campaign has also been blasting Clinton for her fundraisers – Trump’s son Eric this week criticized her for raising money while his father was in Mexico. “Now, some of those folks – they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America”.
While most of those surveyed – 59% – said they would “reluctantly vote for the candidate of the party you usually support”, 13% said they might not vote at all.
Despite heavy global sanctions for Russia’s involvement in Ukraine and accusations that Russian hackers broke into American voter databases, Trump said he would have a very good working relationship with Putin.
According to Suffolk, 41% of North Carolina voters said they have a favorable opinion of Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, while 49% said they have an unfavorable opinion. “I think people don’t care”.
Trump however largely steered clear of the sensitive issue of abortion, perhaps realizing that he also needs to court moderate and independent voters as he trails Clinton in most polls.

Smith added that Clinton’s comments were “dehumanizing” and “gross”.
