Polling by Boston-based Emerson College has returned from its summer hiatus, and its surveys of three key states—while confirming Hillary Clinton’s edge in the presidential race—underscore the obstacles she faces.•She and Donald Trump are tied in Ohio at 43%, no surprise given that the state is a perennial battleground•Clinton has a slight edge in Pennsylvania, 46%-43%, giving credence to Trump’s focus on that state as a potential cornerstone to his White House bid•Most surprising is Clinton’s relatively slim lead—45%-40%—in Michigan, which at this stage in the last two presidential campaigns had ceased to be competitive•The three states together total 54 electoral votes; support from independents is fueling Trump in two of them •In Ohio, the Emerson poll shows him with a 13-point lead among these voters—47% to 30%—and in Pennsylvania, he leads 43%-37%•That pattern hasn’t surfaced yet in Michigan, where the poll shows a virtual tie among independents, with Trump at 39% and Clinton at 38%•What hurts Clinton in Michigan is a poor showing among younger voters—the cohort that helped Bernie Sanders score an upset in the Democratic primary; currently in the Wolverine State’s 18-34 age group, Trump leads her 45%-33%•In Ohio, younger voters are among her strengths; she leads Trump among them 50%-32%•In Pennsylvania, it’s tight among this age group; she leads 42%-39%, according to the Emerson results•“Clinton had trouble in the primaries with independents and younger voters and it looks like it is carrying over to the general,” Spencer Kimball, director of Emerson’s Washington program, said in an interview•A national poll released today by New Jersey-based Monmouth University gives Clinton a 7-point lead, down from her 13-point advantage in a comparable survey earlier this month•In the RealClearPolitics average of recent national polls, Clinton’s lead stood at 4.4 pts as of late this afternoonwww.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-08-29/u-s-election-wrap-clinton-weaknesses-spotlighted-in-new-poll-isgl7jgb

maybe some of her votes got erased in the latest HD wiping event.

I predict it won't matter. Her voters are as corrupt as she is. They wouldn't care if she was recorded saying she was going to overthrow the Constitution

BUT RS, isn't that true about any base? WE see and hear what we want to. But I would like to see something solid that backs some things I suspect about Hillary. Something that could penetrate the teflon coating she has.(Note the teflon wears off my pans, maybe with age some of hers will wear off Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

W Bush had a 27% approval rating when he left office because his base abandoned him. The Dem base never abandons their thug candidates. We are becoming like Venezuela where 50% of the people will spy on the other 50%
