According to the Suffolk University/USA Today poll, released on Thursday, the former secretary of state is viewed negatively by 51 percent of voters and the NY billionaire by 59 percent.

Marine Le Pen, the leader of the right-wing French political party National Front, praised Donald Trump on Wednesday and said that “for France, anything is better than Hillary Clinton”. The F&M poll shows Clinton over Trump 41-38 percent with Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson at 7 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein with 2 percent. Another 13 percent of voters were undecided.
Clinton’s momentum has slowed since her 44 per cent spike in support in early August following the Democratic National Convention.
She was ahead in the Northeast by 58 per cent to 34 per cent and in the West 52 per cent to 37 per cent, the polls said. Clinton’s negatives were at 54 percent, up from 49 percent in the July reading. Especially so when you consider that in a Marquette poll that covered August 4-7, Trump was down a whopping 15 points in a head-to-head match, and 13 points in a four-way contest.
However, there is one good news though for Trump. It’s that Hillary is losing many of hers.
Fox News and Reuters/Ipsos shows a closer race, two points.
Also, a survey by North Carolina-based Public Policy Polling, commissioned by the National Employment Law Project Action Fund on the role of the minimum wage in the election, shows that Clinton leads 48-43 percent.
Among all adults, 56 percent now have an unfavorable view of Clinton, an increase of 6 points in three weeks, compared to 63 percent who have the same view about Trump. (It also doesn’t include the Rasmussen poll.) Some of the polls that help make up that average are more than a week old, so it’s possible that they will also reflect a trend away from Hillary the next time they are updated.
Here is a quick update, starting with the most positive news for Trump and ending with surveys in two states that show him still behind but closing.
“Hillary Clinton is war”. Compare the average of polls conducted since July 1 with the equivalent period from four years ago and the difference is clear: Trump is in a much tougher race in the state than Mitt Romney was. The two campaigns are playing two very different games.
