Quinnipiac calls North Carolina “a garden of gender harmony” because the numbers are not as sharply divided with men voting for Trump and women voting for Clinton as they are in other states.

Clinton’s post-convention bump has dwindled as of late, with national polls showing an increasingly tight race. Polls tend to narrow as Election Day nears, and the Clinton campaign has struggled to overcome controversy about how she handled classified information while serving as secretary of state.
At the same event, asked about Iran, Trump offered this odd assessment: “W$3 e also happened to have given them Iraq”. That is virtually unchanged from a month ago, when Clinton led Trump 46-45 – which is considered a statistical dead heat.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has said he will expand all areas of the U.S. military if he wins November’s election. There’s a sense in the campaign that things are finally coming together and that Trump can propel himself ahead of Clinton over the next two months.
“Like a schoolyard bully who can’t rely on facts or issues, Trump has only one way of responding to legitimate criticism of his own vulnerabilities: ‘I know you are, but what am I?'” Clinton campaign communications director, Jennifer Palmieri, said in a statement.
“But broaden the lens to take in the almost two-thirds of poll respondents who say they are at least fairly certain of their vote and their likelihood of casting a ballot and the picture flips, with Clinton holding a 48 per cent-42 per cent lead”, the poll found.
Mrs Clinton said United States voters “know they can count on me to be the kind of commander in chief who will protect our country and our troops, and they know they cannot count on Donald Trump”. “He clearly has something to hide”, she said.
Democrats and even some Republicans have painted Mr Trump as unfit to serve as United States commander-in-chief but he has made up some ground on rival Hillary Clinton.
Clinton, 68, indicated she will make Trump’s tax returns an election issue, saying the reality TV star is “dead wrong” if he thinks it is none of the American people’s business as before entrusting a president with the country’s finances they would want to know how the person handled personal finances. More voters have a favorable view of Clinton (43%) than Trump (38%).

Retired Rear Admiral Philip Anselmo, who’s backing Trump, says it would unwise to telegraph that plan too far in advance. Trump’s lead is inside the survey’s 4.4 percent margin of error.
