But one candidate has made gains since last month: Libertarian Gary Johnson.

Summary of where Clinton stands against Trump.
Typically, support for third party candidates fades as the major party tickets are set heading into their conventions. But those leads shrink a bit when Johnson and Stein are in the poll.
The lopsided commercial airwaves show the presidential candidates have drastically different views of the importance of traditional political campaigning. According to a ABC News/Washington poll, 56% of the American people disagreed with Comey’s decision not to charge Clinton, while only 35% expressed support. Broad support among younger voters helped catapult Barack Obama to the presidency in 2008.
Beginning Monday, Republicans will gather in Cleveland to nominate Donald Trump, a brash and combative real estate investor from Manhattan with no political experience.
To reach the goal of 3 million new voters, the campaign said it had created a one-stop-shopping online voter registration tool in English and Spanish that can be widely shared online.
In a two-way matchup, Clinton tops Trump 49% to 42%.
Both Clinton and Trump have bumped up their support among those who did not back them through the nomination process.
Both males and females said they would choose Clinton over Trump by slightly smaller margins, though female voters are the most undecided of any demographic, with 37 percent now in the process of making up their minds. Marco Rubio has a three-point edge over Democrat Patrick Murphy in Florida’s U.S. Senate race — a far-narrower margin than in the Quinnipiac poll, which said Rubio was ahead of Murphy by a margin of 50 percent to 37 percent. “As Bernie Sanders said, ‘Her judgment is so bad.’ She’s got bad judgment”.
The poll shows 78 percent of Trump supporters and 36 percent of Clinton supporters said that when compared to other religions, Islam was more likely to encourage acts of terrorism.
“Donald Trump is running the most divisive campaign our lifetime”. And although more say they’d be proud to have her as president than say so about Trump, almost 6-in-10 say they wouldn’t be proud should Clinton win the presidency.
The 30-second spot is a continuation of several ads that have sought to contrast Clinton’s global experience with Trump’s comments about limiting America’s involvement overseas.
Hopefully, the voters will ignore the remaining Republican critics who have tried for so long to derail Trump’s campaign.
Those numbers may shift, however, as a majority say they don’t know enough about Pence to have an opinion on him when they’re asked if they have a favorable or unfavorable impression. When Trump uses hate speech, such as suggesting a religious test for entry into America and that non-white judges can’t be impartial, he makes it clear that his campaign is about driving people apart.
(1)”Rather than questioning a different group of respondents for each poll, the survey relies on a panel, now consisting of about 3,000 people recruited at random to represent US households”. Trump’s very dismal performance among Black and Latino voters still offsets his current white voter strength, but there are signs the latter is growing.

The mobilization effort aims to capture the energy of Democrats watching the GOP convention each evening and harness it into a stronger voter base.
