There were troubling signs for both candidates in the poll.
On Monday, Clinton’s campaign sent out a memo hoping to ease the concerns of supporters and reminded them the Democrats have the easiest pathway to 270 electoral votes.
Some Republicans argue that the closeness of the race – especially against a candidate with Trump’s vulnerabilities – is evidence of Clinton’s fundamental flaws as a candidate.
Clinton has also widened her fundraising gap over Trump.
The president will be campaigning for Clinton in six key battleground states: Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Iowa, and New Hampshire.
Most Florida voters (75 percent) said they have heard about Trump’s recent admission that Barack Obama was born in the us but doubt the GOP nominee’s sincerity.
The poll of 400 New Hampshire residents likely to vote in the general election, conducted from September 17 to 20, has a margin of error of 4.9 percentage points.
Trump expressed to President el-Sisi his strong support for Egypt’s war on terrorism, and how under a Trump Administration, the United States of America will be a loyal friend, not simply an ally, that Egypt can count on in the days and years ahead.
Respondents also said they trusted Clinton more than Trump (49 percent to 36 percent) to handle public health issues, like the Zika virus.
A recent poll shows Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump carries a slight lead in North Carolina. And, writing in Vox, Andrew Prokop said recently that “There’s little historical evidence that they’ve ever swung polls by more than a few percentage points”. Some 46 per cent of registered voters trust Trump, while 41 per cent opted for Clinton.
Today’s numbers give Clinton her largest margin since August 31, when a Fox News poll gave her a 6-point edge. Republican voters who had previously withheld their support for Trump have come around recently.
