“More recently, the “Neither/Other” option appeared to lead to an underreporting of Clinton’s support”, said Cliff Young, pollster and president of Ipsos Public Affairs, which partnered with Reuters on the poll. “I hear that baby crying, I like it. What a handsome baby”.

“Months ago I publicly said I could never support Trump”, Hanna wrote, calling him “profoundly offensive”, “narcissistic”, and “a world-class panderer”.
Turning to Clinton, he explained that “Mrs. Clinton has issues that depending on where one stands can be viewed as great or small”. Trump will also likely need to improve his leads among groups where he is already outperforming past Republicans.
Dent added that he was not shocked by Hanna’s break with the party, although he said he himself has no plans to support Clinton.
Trump’s son, Eric Trump, told CBS News on Tuesday his father’s comments toward the Khans have been “blown hugely out of proportion”.
It is not the first time Mr Trump has insinuated Ms Clinton was “the devil”, having previously said Mr Sanders had done a deal with the devil. The campaign said she raised more than $8.7 million in the 24 hours around her speech.
She started August with more than $58 million in cash reserves as she and Republican Donald Trump hurtle toward what will be an expensive and bitterly fought general election.
Gallup has asked this question about Democratic and Republican national conventions since 1984, with the exceptions of the 1984 and 1992 Republican conventions.
With his race-baiting, off-the-cuff campaign style, it’s no surprise Trump is doing poorly with non-white voters who prefer Clinton to Trump, 83 percent to 12 percent, according to the CNN/ORC poll, which was taken in the three days after the Democratic National Convention. Rare noted, “Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke last night while 27.8 million viewers watched, but as Deadline.com reports, that number ‘is down 2.4 million from what Trump and the RNC got on the same outlets on July 21 from 10 – 11:45 PM ET”.
Trump spent the days after winning the Republican nomination criticizing a USA district court judge’s Mexican heritage.

There is no doubt that Trump made some gains in the wake of the Republican National Convention and the naming of Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his vice-presidential running mate. Trump’s recent remarks about the parents of a fallen Muslim soldier may have pushed Hanna to make his decision.
