Hillary Clinton has a double-digit lead over Donald Trump in Wisconsin – the type of a manufacturing-heavy state his campaign hopes to turn red in November – according to a new Marquette University Law School poll. Another 17 percent were undecided.

In that scenario, Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson earned 9 percent, while Green Party candidate Jill Stein bagged 3 percent.
Politico also reports on some bad news for Trump: normally, around Labor Day in election years, pollsters begin calculating which voters will actually show up to cast their ballots, rather than the preferences of all registered voters. “She has a double-digit lead in Pennsylvania and the narrowest of edges in OH, but Florida, with the largest cache of Electoral College votes is a tie”, said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
Though Clinton improved over the last Quinnipiac poll in June (which showed the race tied) the new polls are in line with pre-convention polls showing the race “as close or tied”.
Clinton has done a number of things – including stage an entire campaign rally in Atlantic City in front of one of Trump’s defunct casino hotels – to try and mess up Trump’s big-in-business brand.
In the Iowa U.S. Senate race, Suffolk found the same result as that NBC/Marist poll: Republican Sen. Rob Portman leading Democratic rival Ted Strickland 48 percent to 43 percent. Almost 53 percent of Iowans said that when all the votes are counted this November, Clinton will win. A total of 1,162 registered voters were polled.
Broken down by party, a majority of Republicans said the state should cut projects, while Democrat backed tax and fee hikes.
“With party registration evenly split, so are the opinions of voters from the Hawkeye state”, Paleologos said.
“We have to see at a state level what these numbers look like, especially in key battleground states”, Aguilar said. The margin of error is +/-2.7%. In those counties, Suffolk found Johnson polling at 11 percent. First, 58 percent of likely voters were bothered by Clinton’s private email set-up that the Federal Bureau of Investigation called ‘extremely careless’.
But it did not Clinton “may enjoy higher support from constituents that have been especially supportive of other recent Democratic presidential nominees, such as young single women, young Black women, and young Latinas”.

When voters were asked if they feel more or less safe living in America than they did five to 10 years ago, 56 percent said less safe, 10 percent indicated safer and 28 percent indicated no change. Two-thirds said they are loyal citizens in the battle against terrorism.
