Then Obama won 332 electoral votes. Independent voters go 43 percent for Trump and 41 percent for Clinton.

“I think it’s quite intriguing that this activity has happened around the time Trump became the nominee”, she said.
She said she was leaning toward Trump – with a condition: “I think he would be an awesome candidate if he could get his personality under control”.
“I like them, I respect the moderators”, Trump said.
Buckle up, folks. This wild ride isn’t over just yet.
The Trump campaign claims it can win without Pennsylvania but it’s very hard to see how. “If Trump doesn’t show something more coherent….”
The first of three presidential debates that are expected to be the most watched moments of the election is just three weeks away.
Pundits treat Clinton like a shoo-in, but polls tell a different story.
The former secretary of state flatly said “No”, when asked in an ABC News interview whether she’d be willing to accept the Mexican president’s invitation to visit the country, as Trump did last week.
What did she mean by trust? “As first lady and as senator and as secretary of state she enjoyed pretty broad bipartisan support and I believe that if she is elected in November, come January when she is actually going about the business of governing and helping the American people that people on both sides of the aisle as well as independents will see that and respond to it”. “And it’s a shame”.
Those liabilities, and the historic challenge Clinton faces in seeking a third consecutive White House term for her party and the nation’s sour political mood, also help explain why Trump is still alive.
It was clear that the controversy over Clinton’s private email system isn’t exclusively a media fixation; it’s resonated among ordinary voters, too.
Of Ohioans who like Clinton, 30 percent said she is competent, 25 percent said she is responsible and 22 percent said she is caring.
“It’s a lie”, said Dara Schneider, 47, a personnel recruiter. A majority of Clinton’s supporters say they’re less excited about voting this year than usual (55 percent) while most of Trump’s backers say they’re more excited this time around (56 percent).
Today’s event will be a town hall question-and-answer format, according to Trump’s Campaign. “Tone it down”, said Schneider. Trump’s been getting that advice from his aides, but it’s not clear he’s taking it. “Take down the mask and show she’s human”, said Gramling. Those surveyed said they trust Trump more on terrorism (51% to Clinton’s 45%), underscoring his ability to connect with the fears of Americans in an age of ISIS-inspired domestic attacks. And Clinton’s lead has been remarkably consistent: Not a single poll included in HuffPost’s average has had Trump ahead since late July.

Clinton’s push also comes with another prize in mind: “Security moms”, or female voters who are concerned about terrorism – particularly middle-class suburban women in must-win swing states like Pennsylvania.
