A new poll from Morning Consult Intelligence has revealed that U.S. Republican candidate Donald Trump has closed the gap between him and Democrat hopeful Hillary Clinton, being just 3 points behind in data released on Sunday morning. According to the intelligence and campaigns firm, 43 per cent of registered voters say they will vote for Mrs. Clinton, while 40 per cent claim they’ll opt for Mr. Trump. “The matchup hasn’t been this close since late July, when Morning Consult’s poll showed a 3-point Clinton lead over Trump, 43 percent to 40 percent.” The site notes: Both presidential candidates are still highly unpopular, with 58 percent of voters saying they have an unfavorable view of Trump and 57 percent saying the same about Clinton. The poll results come after Clinton gave her most direct speech thus far attacking Trump on his racial rhetoric, while the GOP nominee continued his bid to woo black and Hispanic voters. Trump’s campaign also floated new ideas about allowing immigrants who are illegally residing in the United States to stay in the country, an attempt to soften the real estate mogul’s harsh immigration rhetoric. But the mixed signals from the Trump campaign aren’t winning over immigration advocates. Clinton

Farage: Maybe If I Donate To The Clinton Foundation Hillary Won’t Attack Me
From the Daily Mail: Since I announced that I was going to stand aside as Ukip leader in the wake of the successful Brexit campaign, I’ve had more time to do other things. This included a trip to Cleveland for the Republican Convention and the adoption of Donald J. Trump as their Presidential candidate. I was astonished that everybody I met wanted to talk about Brexit – not just the delegates to the convention but ordinary people, including a group of US Navy veterans who told me we should have done it years ago. There was a chance meeting, in a bar of course, with the delegation from Mississippi. hey were wildly enthusiastic Brexiteers and told me that their State Governor Phil Bryant was delighted with the result and would love me to visit. So in what I thought would be the quiet days of August, I was happy to accept their invitation. The plan was simple: I would speak at a dinner hosted by the Governor to speak about the Brexit campaign and to draw parallels with voters in America, who are looking for many of the same things. It was not until I arrived and was having dinner

Roll Call columnist Jonathan Allen, during Saturday’s “Who Won the Week” segment on MSNBC’s “AM Joy,” awarded Hillary Clinton’s running mate Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) as his winner of the week after Kaine compared Donald Trump and his supporters to slave owners at a Florida A&M University rally Friday. Allen noted how Kaine brought up abolitionist Frederick Douglass’ newspaper, The North Star, and said Kaine was comparing Trump and his supporters to slave owners. “He was comparing Donald trump and his supporters to slave owners, which you would think the RNC and Donald Trump would be even more angry about had they been able to hear it,” Allen stated.
