“The gun lobby knows Ted is a gun safety champion, and they are going to great lengths to prevent him from winning OH”, reads a fundraising email signed by Murphy that was sent the same day he held forums with Strickland in Cincinnati and Columbus.

Republicans also have their eye on the Democratic-controlled House in Kentucky, another presumed Trump state. Kelly Ayotte’s statement supporting Trump with some of the Republican nominee’s more contentious comments from his year-long campaign.

But Trump has pockets of strength, observes Storey, and Republicans have targets within them. “The Democratic Party’s future is a lot brighter than it has been”.

While many voters do not follow economic indicators closely, outside experts said the release was still a good one for Clinton. That’s how you could get a Clinton landslide like the one the ABC News poll describes, along with a Democratic Senate and possibly even – although it’s a reach – a Democratic House. Among Republican women, 79 percent supported Trump. The first two days of early voting were up 49 percent in the biggest counties compared with 2012.

With Trump favored among men by an average of 7 percentage points in recent polls, this year’s gender gap – the sum difference between how men and women vote – could be the most yawning since 1952, when it was 26 points. If we cannot expect either Clinton or Trump to professionally represent themselves during the presidential campaign, how can we entrust either one of them to represent us as our president?

“I’ve heard some people don’t want to put Trump signs in their yards”, she said. Both Clinton and Trump can not seem to respect and see the other as a viable presidential candidate, let alone as president of the United States.

“If Republicans keep even just control of the House, the possibilities instantly narrow for what [Clinton] is able to achieve”, said Julian Zelizer, a Princeton University political historian.

On the flipside, Republicans may become anxious if Iden and Rep. Klint Kesto lose their GOP-leaning districts in Kalamazoo and Oakland counties respectively.

In the county represented by John Boehner when he was Republican House speaker, she said, “We’re that glimmer of hope for Hillary”.

Trump took Gingrich’s side Wednesday. Trump’s unfavorable rating of 60.4 out of 100 percent is higher than Clinton’s at 52.9 and all of the previous presidential candidates in American history.

DeBari said elected members of the Democratic and Republican county committee are automatically credentialed as challengers.

In Philadelphia recently, Clinton blasted Pennsylvania Republican Sen.

The data revealed differences in motives for voter support: 70 percent of Clinton supporters said they were voting for her because they support her as opposed to voting for her in opposition to Trump, while 47 percent of Trump supporters responded in their respective position in backing Trump. Her group claims a network of 75 leaders and volunteers in nine states.

“They can challenge whether someone is really registered to vote, say if they recognize a neighbor they know moved away, but it’s very rare”, said Eileen K. DeBari, chairwoman of the Bergen County Board of Elections.

Two Republicans familiar with the message confirmed its authenticity to the Post. With less than two weeks until the November 8 election, donors have pulled their cash from what appears to be a losing presidential effort.

Comstock, a staunch conservative and longtime Clinton critic, is well aware that Trump is poison for many of her constituents.

The tribulations of Donald Trump have opened opportunities for the Democrats to regain lost ground in several of the nation’s Republican-dominated statehouses. “I’m not afraid.” She added: “I pray about it, too”. She said she couldn’t vote for him, and urged him to withdraw.

Numerous ads are simply soundbites of the GOP nominee intercut with questions about the character and judgment of the Republican candidate. Or they would stay home.
