UPI/CVoter poll: Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump dips slightly

The Fox News national poll released this week showed Trump leading among white voters by 13 percentage points and among white women by two percentage points.

In July, Clinton led Trump, 47 to 34 percent, when Johnson and Stein were included in F&M’s poll.

Clinton’s high of 44 percent in early August just after the Democratic National Convention has disappeared, leaving her with the lowest level of support since the middle of July.

Clinton’s favorable / unfavorable rating is 41 percent/53 percent, while Trump’s is 33 percent favorable / 61 percent unfavorable, according to a Quinnipiac University survey released Thursday, August 25.

Also, a survey by North Carolina-based Public Policy Polling, commissioned by the National Employment Law Project Action Fund on the role of the minimum wage in the election, shows that Clinton leads 48 to 43 percent.

Real Clear Politics polling average – which includes the Rasmussen Reports’ poll – has Clinton up by nearly 4 percentage points. Clinton led by 8 points last week, according to NBC.

However, unpopularity rate remains high for Clinton, thanks to her exclusive use of a private email server as secretary of state and the allegations that donors to the Clinton Foundation enjoyed an easy access to Clinton during the same period. Most were on the West coast, home to Hollywood celebrities and Silicon Valley executives, or in the traditional Democratic donor bastions of MA and NY.

Significantly more young Hispanics, African-Americans and Asian-Americans say Clinton than Trump would better handle dealing with immigrants who are already in the country illegally. “It allows us to go out and get people who’ve never considered voting Republican in any other election”. So much so that the campaign is now preparing for a landslide victory, an unthinkable possibility for the Democratic candidate only two months ago. In fact, I have seen more support for Trump in the largely Democratic state than I have for Clinton. That includes 64 percent of young people overall, 59 percent of whites, 63 percent of African-Americans, 76 percent of Asians and 75 percent of Latinos.

A majority of all voters think both of the major presidential candidates are liars and give them equally low marks as potential used vehicle salesmen. Coming to Donald Trump, present times for him look to be presenting a confusing picture causing some sort of a bit of concern among his well wishers, particularly from 9 August to 12 September 2016 – this indication about him was given over two months past from now. Three percent (3%) like some other candidate, and seven percent (7%) are undecided.

However, there is one good news though for Trump. Together, she and her running mate, Sen.

Clinton’s biggest fundraiser of the month was a $6.6 million event in the Hamptons hosted by Jonathan Tisch, co-owner of the New York Giants.
