Any single poll is but a snapshot, and many other polls show Mrs. Clinton with a narrow but consistent lead over Mr. Trump.
Urging them to turn out and vote in the November election, Hillary Clinton said on Thursday that Latinos must send a message to Donald Trump “with one voice that Latinos are a vital part of the American community”.
As Clinton exited the meeting, she did not respond to questions about Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, who is rumored to be Donald Trump’s preferred running mate.
“It reflects the strength of Bernie’s supporters’ ideals”, she said. “You make our nation stronger, smarter, more creative and I want you to know: I see you, I hear you and I am with you”.
“It’s time to rally and unify”, she said.
Clinton, a former U.S. senator and first lady, has faced heavy criticism from Republicans for her use of private email servers for government business while she led the State Department from 2009 to 2013.
Though Knost believes Sanders’ endorsement is a “good step towards unifying the party”, she says some tension still exists between the two campaigns. “You can’t just talk someone into trusting you”.
Ronald Knope, a 69-year-old retiree from Glencoe, Minnesota, said he was supporting Trump and thought he would do better with Trump as president. Of those backing him, 14 percent consider him at least somewhat racist.
The Times/CBS poll echoes the finding of a Quinnipiac Poll released on Wednesday that showed Trump pulling just ahead of Clinton in the so-called swing states of Florida and Pennsylvania as the former USA senator and first lady lost ground on honesty and moral standards. The vast majority of them ― 58 percent ― are split between “false” (39 percent) and the even more incendiary “pants on fire” category (19 percent).
The coalitions backing the candidates have remained largely unchanged from the primary race, with Clinton doing better among women and minority voters. The investigation undercut many of Mrs. Clinton’s statements over the past 18 months to explain and defend her decision to rely on the private server at her home in Chappaqua, N.Y. Sixty-eight percent of blacks, 52 percent of Hispanics and 28 percent of whites have a favorable view of Clinton. Forty percent of whites, 13 percent of Hispanics and 7 percent of blacks have a favorable opinion of Trump.
