And as she has watched this election unfold, Michelle Obama said it has become clear that Clinton and her opponent, Donald Trump, have clashing visions for the country.

Clinton, too, has turned some of her focus to what happens after November 8, though her efforts assume she wins.
That means 13% of MI voters are undecided, plan to vote for someone else, or refused to say who they’re voting for.
Trump is favored by 45 percent of likely voters in the state, and Clinton is backed by 42 percent. Both measures are similar to four years ago, and almost identical percentages of Clinton and Trump supporters are reporting high attention to the race.
Trump leads Clinton 44-43 in Georgia (within the poll’s margin of error) with Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party coming in at 8 percent. Pence, who isn’t as well-known on the national stage, is considered more attractive to many Republican loyalists who can not stomach the prospect of a Trump candidacy. Clinton’s margin in the survey is little different than her 47-43 edge in a mid-October Post-ABC poll, but less than the double-digit leads in earlier waves of the tracking survey reported by ABC News through Monday. Clinton supporters are 17 points more likely than Trump supporters to say it is very important to ensure that people have the right to non-violent protest (86% vs. 69%).
On Wednesday, Clinton appeared in South Florida and in Tampa, where she told voters she desperately needed their help so she could win. It seems unlikely that anything aides said will have a major impact on the race at this stage. But a month is a long time in politics and the Trump campaign has been buffeted by the Trump sex tapes and allegations of sexual harassment against their candidate.
The emails were among thousands stolen from the private account of a top Clinton aide, part of a hacking the Democratic campaign has blamed on the Russians.
The whites most likely to say that things are worse than they were in the 1950s are white evangelical Protestants, with 74 percent of those surveyed saying that American culture has gotten worse over the past 60 years. In one study, a Loyola Law School professor found 31 instances involving allegations of voter impersonation out of one billion votes cast in U.S. elections between 2000 and 2014.
It follows news that one leading pundit, Professor Helmut Norpoth, from Stony Brook University in NY, who has correctly predicted the past five USA presidents, said this week that his statistical model suggests a Trump victory.
Trump has claimed the vote nationwide may be soiled by widespread voter fraud, but has not provided evidence to back up that claim.
