The NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, however, gave Clinton a five-point lead among registered voters, with 42 percent saying they’d support her and 37 percent saying they’d back Trump – down from the 43 to 34 percent advantage she enjoyed in mid-August.

Trump’s minority outreach in OH featured former boxing promoter Don King.

In Toledo, we met K. David Johnson, pastor of one of the city’s oldest Baptist churches, one with deep roots in the civil rights movement.
“His track record is minimal”.
While King was going on, Trump held a straight face until heard the N-word, to which he let out a smirk for the remainder of Don’s “flattering” introduction. “If there is no closeness, there is no trust that has been developed”.
“The debate is gonna go forth, and I think you are gonna see a real contrast”, he said.
She’s doing intensive debate prep, which includes mock debates complete with a Donald Trump stand-in as well as reviews of Trump’s performance in Republican primary debates.
