Her remarks came shortly after Trump, struggling to steady his troubled campaign, announced a new chief executive officer and campaign manager.

The current RealClearPolitics average of national opinion polls puts Clinton 6.8 points ahead of Trump, at 47.8% to Trump’s 41%.

But no Republican has won NY since 1984, and Nassau Democratic Chairman Jay Jacobs says that won’t change.

In an editorial published on Monday morning, the paper said, “Trump is right that most of the media want him to lose, but then that was also true of George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan”.

Interestingly, young men are more likely to say sexism is a major reason for hostility toward Clinton: 42% of men compared to 37% of women.

Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., warned that the “campaign is not over” and described Trump as still being in transition from the bulldog who beat 16 rivals in the GOP primary to a general election candidate who communicates differently to a wider electorate what he wants to do differently than Clinton. And Clinton leads among New York City votes by a huge margin, as well as suburban, upstate and independent voters.

Pence declined to preview Trump’s plan in an interview on “Fox News Sunday”, saying only that Trump will offer a “change of direction” in counterterrorism policies. Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement that Clinton’s tax plan would “kill jobs, reduce wages and hurt economic growth” and her prior Senate votes showed “she can’t be trusted to look out for the middle class”.

“There is no new Donald Trump”. “And not necessarily for good things”.

Frustratingly for Republicans, Trump’s missteps have overshadowed hard news for Clinton: The new release of 44 previously-unreleased email exchanges Clinton had while at the State Department. Marco Rubio leads his two Democratic challengers.

Young voters believe that Trump seemed less presidential after the Republican Convention. The Clinton campaign said it was evidence of “more troubling connections between Donald Trump’s team and pro-Kremlin elements in Ukraine”.

Trump has complained for months about media coverage.

Siena’s Greenberg said even with the vast lead of Clinton in the presidential race, voters in NY have a long tradition of splitting the ticket when it comes to their local lawmakers.

The Democratic presidential nominee is holding her first campaign event with the vice president on Monday in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

In confirming the campaign overhaul, Trump called Bannon and Conway “big people” who can help him defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton in November.

Greenberg says the presidential race doesn’t look be “wait and see”. He has stripped a long list of news organizations – including the New York Times, BuzzFeed, Politico and The Washington Post – of their credentials, and vowed that as president he would make it easier to sue news outlets, reports AFP. Meanwhile, 15 percent say they won’t vote. He says the vast majority of Democrats back Clinton, which is to be expected.

“As he laid out in his Orlando remarks, Mr. Trump will describe the need to temporarily suspend visa issuances to geographic regions with a history of exporting terrorism and where adequate checks and background vetting can not occur”, Miller said. But almost three quarters, 72%, view Trump negatively.

Trump said, “The rise of ISIS is the direct result of policy decisions made by President Obama.”, “The group of what would become ISIS was close to being extinguished, but decisions made by the Obama-Clinton group has been absolutely disastrous”.
