She went on to encourage members of the gathering to get Trump’s record out to the public and slammed him for being a proponent of right to work and holding anti-union views.

Hillary Clinton and her allies continue to outpace Donald Trump and his supporters in television and radio ad spending with less than two months until election day. NPR has a look at how they are each preparing, with Clinton appearing to anticipate an aggressive Trump.
An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released Wednesday afternoon found Clinton leading Trump 43 percent to 37 nationally, with Johnson and Stein receiving 9 percent and 3 percent support, respectively. Meanwhile, 15 percent said it made them less likely to support Trump, and 3 percent said it made them more likely to support the GOP nominee.
Trump has indicated that he hopes to woo minority voters.
This isn’t to say that there aren’t any good polls for Trump – there are, like the new Fox News polls showing him with small leads in Nevada, Ohio, and North Carolina. Many recent polls have shown a narrow race, and the upcoming debate at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., is expected to have a Super Bowl-sized audience.
However, those advantages were eclipsed by Clinton’s leads among women and college-educated voters-both of which are a majority voting bloc in the state, both in the poll sample Wednesday and in past elections.
Rick Lazio, a Republican former congressman from NY, found Clinton a tough opponent when he faced her in a US Senate debate in NY in 2000.
While 60 percent of voters overall say they are “very interested” in the election, 49 percent of Latino voters say the same. Clinton is up, 47-38 percent.
Latinos continue to give President Barack Obama high marks, although his approval rating has slipped slightly since the beginning of the summer. Those saying they have “major” concerns totals 54 percent. That’s compared to 75 percent approving and 19 percent disapproving in July.
The poll was conducted September 16-19 for NBC News/Wall Street Journal by Democratic pollster Fred Yang of Hart Research Associates, and Republican pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies. The margin of error for likely voters is +/- 6.00 percent.

Trump led Clinton by 10 percentage points among men and by 7 percentage points among those without a college degree.
