Nonetheless, despite being their party’s front-runners, both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are perceived negatively by voters. In May, Trump hired investor Steven Mnuchin as his national finance chairman and entered a joint fundraising deal with the Republican National Committee that will allow donors to write much bigger checks.

After months of bashing political fundraising as corrupt, Trump has recently warmed to the traditional campaign cash race, setting up a joint fundraising agreement with the Republican Party.
“We know what we’re going into and we understand what it’s going to take to win in the fall”.
Clinton, who is on a firm path to clinching the nomination within weeks, faces the prospect of winning back Sanders supporters, many of whom are feeling increasingly alienated.
“I’m just disappointed, really disappointed”, she said while standing in her arts and crafts shop.
“Do I think she is the kind of chair that the Democratic Party needs? There is no way I won’t be”.
When people were asked who would do more to advance the economic interests of working-class people or middle-class people, the results showed that Clinton enjoyed a statistically insignificant advantage over Trump among registered voters but a statistically significant advantage among all adults.
“I will certainly do my part, reaching out to Sen”. Do I agree with him on every issue?
At the weekend, Ms Clinton sought to downplay Mr Trump’s surge, insisting that she had a better chance of defeating Mr Trump than Mr Sanders.
In recent days, Trump has begun to suggest that Sanders should mount a third-party campaign.
Mrs. Clinton leads the NY businessman, 46% to 43%, in a test matchup between the two likely nominees, the poll finds.
Polls this far out from a general election can not offer a reliable picture of what will happen in November.
Those protests, though, are rooted in rules that were set months, if not years, ago – long before Trump and Sanders caught fire with the independents and first-time voters who’ve fueled their rise.
But Sanders does not see such polls as an argument that he should get out of the race or dial back attacks on Clinton. She’s wary of Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state, which is the subject of an FBI investigation, and her past political decisions. She couldn’t respond to their help but she could call her daughter and the president of Egypt and say that there was a terrorist attack on the Libyan embassy.
“I’m just disappointed, really disappointed”, she said while standing in her arts and crafts shop. We agree that Hillary Clinton would be a awful president.
Latest polls clearly show that the lingering Democratic Party divisions are a challenge for Clinton. Both were tripped up by Byzantine party statutes that govern how nominees are chosen. One difference Clinton and Sanders: Clinton’s rating among Democratic voters supporting Sanders is 38 percent positive, 41 percent negative (-3); Sanders’ rating among Clinton supporters is 54 percent positive, 23 percent negative (+31).
Trump’s assertion that Clinton should not permit her Secret Service agents to carry guns was also brought up at Friday’s NRA convention.
That’s where Sanders’ clash with Wasserman Schultz is particularly concerning to some Democrats.
Meanwhile, Ms Clinton is still having to fight against Senator Bernie Sanders, who can not catch her in terms of the delegate haul, but who has vowed to continue his campaign all the way to the end of June, and even the party’s convention in Philadelphia this July. He also endorsed law professor Tim Canova, who is challenging the Florida congresswoman in the August Democratic primary.

“Turning Sanders for President into a direct drive for Hillary is probably doomed”, liberal grassroots activist and Sanders supporter David Fredrick told reporters.
