According to the collaborative work of researchers for Advertising Age, Hillary Clinton is spending over $145 million on TV and Radio Ads. Donald Trump’s total is a little over 4 million. Team Clinton is burning 36 times more money than Team Trump.(Via AdAge) To put all this another way, of the $149,912,723 millon in booked TV and radio spending through election day for these three presidential candidates, $145,299,727 is being spent by the Clinton campaign combined with pro-Clinton PACs.

Of all the unforced errors Hillary Clinton’s made so far, calling half of Trump supporters “a basket of deplorables” is possibly her most misguided. Aside from falling prey to juvenile name-calling, Clinton presumes that this swath of the electorate uniformly holds, and is animated by, racist views. Perhaps her husband needs to remind her of his campaign slogan in 1992: It’s the economy, stupid. Last Tuesday, four days after Clinton made that remark — at a star-studded gala in Manhattan, where Barbra Streisand performed — the Census Bureau released new data about jobs and the economy. It was bad, bad...

Republican Donald J. Trump has the support of 20 percent of the African-American vote in Sunday’s “Daybreak Poll” by the University of Southern California and The Los Angeles Times. Trump’s Democratic opponent Hillary R. Clinton is the choice of 71 percent of black voters. For the week after Trump’s Aug. 16 speech on the status of African-Americans in America in West Bend, Wisconsin, the Republican had support in the Daybreak Poll between 13 percent and 15 percent....

Over the past week Donald Trump has been outperforming Hillary Clinton by the highest margins since after the Republican National Convention in July, but some of his greatest increases have come from voters already thought to be firmly in the Democrat's corner. Nationally, Trump leads Clinton by 6.7 points (47.7%-41%) in the latest USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times "Daybreak" poll, which tracks around 3,000 voters per day. This also marks the highest percentage that Trump has ever achieved in this poll, with his previous high water mark coming in at 47.4% back in July.One of the contributing factors to Trump's rise...

Donald Trump now leads Hillary Clinton in several states won by Barack Obama including: Iowa, Florida, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada and is tied with Hillary Clinton in Michigan. Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway cheered the development in a series of tweets.

The United States will not be limited by the new $38 billion 10-year "memorandum of understanding" (MOU) in determining whether and how to increase security aid to Israel, Donald Trump's Israel advisor told the Jewish Insider website on Thursday. "Under a Trump administration, the level of strategic and tactical cooperation between the two countries will be of an unprecedented high level," Attorney David Friedman, who advises the Republican presidential nominee on U.S.-Israel affairs, told the website. "The U.S. will not be limited in its support for Israel by the terms of the MOU," he stressed. Friedman's comments come a day...

Reports have identified the suspect responsible for stabbing nine people at the Crossroads Center mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota as Dahir Adan, a recent immigrant from Somalia. [Snip] Between 2009 and 2013, while Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of State, the U.S. permanently resettled 31,000 Somali migrants on green cards, according to data from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). [Snip] In total, during Clinton’s time as Secretary of State, the U.S. resettled 680,000 migrants from Muslim nations.

How can it possibly be that Donald Trump is on the verge of overtaking Hillary Clinton? Despite all of the ways Trump has demonstrated his total unsuitability to lead the United States, nearly half of America’s voters seem willing to cut him enough slack to quite possibly elect him. One factor is that political elites have underestimated the deep disaffection of middle- and working-class, downwardly mobile white people. Working class whites may be well off compared to most blacks, Latinos, and immigrants, but they don’t see this that way, and not without reason. For decades, two trends have been converging:...

Two weeks ago, some pundits began talking about a Trump “surge.” Suddenly, that surge is looking like a full-fledged “wave.” In one battleground after another, the billionaire real estate mogul is opening up a lead over Hillary Clinton – or making that state’s race competitive again. He’s also beating Clinton in several of the latest national polls. Mainstream pundits are reeling from the shock. Take Ohio. Three straight polls now find Trump with a solid single-digit lead. Trump has closed the gap with women to low single-digits while preserving his robust double-digit lead among men. And Trump’s leading among college-educated...

This is almost,.. almost, too much winning. According to Egyptian news media President Fattah al-Sisi will meet republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for the first time during his visit to New York for a scheduled U.N. General Assembly meeting. el-sisi United Nationstrump-winning-2 Dear readers, we cannot adequately encapsulate the incredible potential, what is entirely possible, in our future if these two leaders can unify their demonstrably effective goals. We’ll expand on that, but first, here’s the breaking news:

WASHINGTON, Pa. — Hillary Clinton isn’t banking on winning pockets of Pennsylvania and Ohio packed with the sort of white, working class voters flocking to Republican Donald Trump. She just wants to avoid a wipeout.

The latest USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times tracking poll puts Republican nominee Donald Trump up nearly 7 points over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton as of Sunday morning — and over 20% among black voters Trump led Clinton, 47.7% to 41.0% — his highest overall support in the poll, and the largest gap since Trump led by 7.3% during the party conventions in July. The poll was conducted among 2,507 respondents, including over 400 who are polled every day. In addition to increasing his lead overall, Trump continued to improve among black voters. While media outlets have tried to assure readers that...

Previous Editions:September 10, 2016 (Premier Edition) I made another significant change to the model from last week, as I continue to tweak the new system: I am aging the polls, giving more weight to recent polls. Last week, I was using the starting date of the poll as the basis of weighting. This week, I changed this to be the mid-point of the poll as the basis of weighting. Based on some targeted feedback, I added Ipsos/Reuters polls to the model. I was sourcing from Real Clear Politics, but they are not comprehensive in the polls they average. That said,...

We’ve been watching a shift in the polls taking place for a couple of weeks now, but at least from where I’m sitting the coverage on cable news and in the larger national newspapers wouldn’t have let you know. Any good numbers showing up for Trump are generally countered with some states where Hillary Clinton was still doing well, projected electoral college totals showing a better Democratic path or the reliable, this may be an outlier disclaimers. Unfortunately for Democratic optimists, the recent tide has turned into more than a blip on the radar and you can almost feel the...

Yesterday, we highlighted Hillary's growing "Millennial Problem" pointing out that her support among young voters seemingly collapsed at the same time she took her 9/11 "stumble" off the sidewalk (see: "Hillary's Growing "Millennial Problem" Forces A Reset"). In fact, the collapse is reflected in the Real Clear Politics average of national polls, which shows Clinton's lead has now been reduced to the smallest margin since the DNC. But, according to the latest polling data from the USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times daily tracking poll, Millennial voters aren't the only demographic hurting Clinton. First, the overall daily poll, which tracks 3,000 U.S....

Donald Trump is gaining support among African-American voters — whose enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton is eroding, a tracking poll released Saturday revealed. Trump saw a 16.5 percentage-point increase in backing from African-American voters in a Los Angeles Times/University of Southern California tracking poll, up from 3.1 percent on Sept. 10 to 19.6 percent through Friday.

New polls released this week suggests Hillary Clinton has a growing problem with millennial voters and that's a major concern for the Democratic presidential nominee. Both national polls and surveys in swing states show Clinton has seen a slide with voters younger than 35, particularly when Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein are factored in.

No article, just the link. Trump's largest lead since the GOP convention.
