Hillary Clinton on Monday interrupted her stump speech involuntarily in a coughing spell – and wryly blamed the incident on GOP rival Donald Trump.

Students and faculty at High Point University will release two presidential polls on the race for the Tar Heel State. Both polls are the first to be conducted in SC independent of a political party since November 2015 and the Washington Post-Survey Monkey poll is the first poll independent of any politically-adjacent group.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

On the economy – the number-one issue concerning voters – Trump leads Clinton by 15 points – 56 versus 41 percent. The second poll will be released the week of October 10-14, about a week before early voting begins in North Carolina. Clinton, the Democrat, is campaigning in Florida in search of an advantage in the nation’s largest swing state.

Its findings, however, came in contrast to some other surveys released Tuesday, which suggested a closer race between the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates.

Kaine said Trump is misleading voters on his foreign policy views, asserting he was against invading Iraq despite statements to several news outlets at the time indicating otherwise.

“It’s balanced in terms of how people feel about the candidates”.

“I’m not taking anybody, anywhere for granted”, Clinton told a crowd of more than 1,000 at a picnic in Cleveland.

“The fact that they chose the Friday before Labor Day to put all this out there – it mystifies me as to why they thought that was a smart thing to do”. John McCain, R-Ariz., by less than a percentage point.

The telephone survey, conducted between September 1-4 among a random sample of 1,001 adults, included 886 registered voters and 786 likely voters and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 points.

Ryan added that the question remaining about the Democratic presidential nominee is “the connection between the Clinton Foundation and official acts of the State Department”.

Meanwhile, a new Washington Post-SurveyMonkey online 50-state poll found Clinton remains strong in battleground states and Republican strongholds. Trump would need to win the bulk of those toss-up states to get to 270 if the states leaning toward Clinton hold.
