Much of this is a reflection of the things that we, too, find concerning about the candidates. On the Democratic side, mega-donors such as George Soros and Tom Steyer put millions of dollars into the White House race as well as Senate races, reports the Boston Herald. And there may be enough, demographers and pollsters said. There aren’t many persuadable voters available for Clinton or Trump. “This is an electoral disaster waiting to happen”. To make matters worse, voters are being asked to choose between two major-party candidates who are not very well liked.

Pence was added to the ticket as a role model of message discipline and for his ability to court Republicans alienated by Trump in the primaries.
Though more than half of Republicans wish someone other than Trump were their party’s nominee, only less than a third hold an unfavorable opinion of Trump. He launched his campaign a year ago with a speech that accused Mexico of sending rapists and criminals across the border, and has since vowed to deport all of the estimated 11 million people living in the USA illegally – though some Hispanic supporters insist that Trump has softened his stance. An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows Clinton with 43 percent support among men to his 42 percent.
For months, Trump has argued that he has “tremendous African American support”.
Trump has made generalizations along these lines before. The data reveal a huge gap in those who have a college education and those who do not.
The poll asked people what it would take to get them to reconsider Trump, if they aren’t now voting for him.
In addition to being ahead of Trump in polls in pivotal states, Clinton has maintained a staff of about 700 for months, opened up offices across the country and already spent $67 million on general election ads.
Trump said in an interview with Fox & Friends on Monday that he’s “not flip-flopping”, but wants to come up with “a really fair, but firm” solution. In Ohio, 73 percent of women describe him as such, and 70 percent of voters overall. The portrayal of unity appears to be a coordinated effort to move past the previous disagreements between the RNC and Trump’s campaign. An ABC News/Washington Post poll this month showed Trump with just 2% of support among black voters. It was among the better polls for Trump lately. There is not. Our endorsement goes to Hillary Clinton – and it is not close.
And Frey said he did not account for the expected growth in Hispanic turnout. Only 14 percent of Trump supporters say they would consider voting for Stein. By 2012, the white vote was down to 72 percent. From left are, Trump, Jovita Carranza, former Small Business Administration Deputy Administrat. He’s not a Christian.
Neither candidate apparently has to worry about being outspent by third-party candidates. Such numbers would be crippling were it not for the fact that her main opponent, GOP nominee Donald Trump, has a gap of almost 30 points – with an unfavorable rating of about 62 percent and a favorable rating of 32.5 percent.

Illustrating just how much Trump’s deterioration with men puts him in an electoral hole, Romney won men in OH by 7 percentage points four years ago. His trip to flood-ravaged Louisiana on Friday won praise from residents who feel overlooked by President Barack Obama.
