A poll from the Siena Research Institute still has Democrat Hillary Clinton maintaining a large 21-point lead over Republican Donald Trump. In one of the biggest flip flops of the campaign to date, Trump finally admitted last week that President Barack Obama was born in the United States despite the fact that Trump himself had largely made his political name by being one of the “birther” movement’s most ardent and vocal champions.
Members of various environmental groups showed up to support the candidate, and Stein listed a series of pipeline projects she opposes.
