Clinton presses into Arizona, Trump focuses on Florida

Watch Live: Clinton speaks at a rally in Dade City, Florida.

Donald Trump has edged into the lead in one national USA presidential poll that gives him a slender one point advantage over Hillary Clinton.

And she again cited a notorious tape where Trump is overheard on a hot mic bragging about being able to grope women and get away with because he is a star.The surprise close poll spooked the markets, which had expected the former secretary of state to comfortably defeat a populist who economists fear could plunge the world into recession.

She will be introduced by Alicia Machado, the victor of Trump’s 1996 Miss Universe crown whom he has repeatedly insulted for her weight gain.

Clinton has vowed the Federal Bureau of Investigation will have “no case” after reviewing new emails, but her campaign is nervous about tightening polls and ramping up attacks on Trump, hoping to scare away voters who could still be persuaded to back him. That last couple of surveys have shown great news for Trump, with a New York Times/Siena College poll showing him up 4 points, while the Republican firm Remington had him up 4 points, as well. In early October, she held a near 9-point average lead in the state.

That was the alarming verdict of one Clinton supporter when we spoke in Washington. “There’s an enthusiasm gap for their voters”.

Stephanie March is one of the ABC’s North America correspondents. What makes the situation particularly remarkable is that I doubt anyone would know or really care about Clinton’s email practices if she were not running for president. Her team has pounded the airwaves with advertising, assembled an expansive voter data file and constructed a nationwide political organization that dwarfs her opponent’s. Officials said it would take something extraordinary to change the conclusion that nobody should be charged. “I wouldn’t be supporting her if I didn’t have absolute confidence in her integrity and her interest in making sure young people have a better future”, Obama said.

But he’s enjoying the power of free media that he’s benefitted from so much in the past year-and-a-half.

RealClearPolitics national polling average shows Clinton up by 1.7 points, with polls ranging from a 7 point Clinton margin of victory in the NBC News poll to a 6-point Trump advantage in the LA Times/USC Tracking Poll.

Ms. Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, is assembling a voter protection program that has drawn thousands of lawyers agreeing to lend their time and expertise in battleground states, though the campaign isn’t saying exactly how many or where. He was introduced by his running mate Mike Pence, who expanded Medicaid coverage as part of Obama’s law as IN governor.

Many American commentators, including those with a legal background, just could not understand why Comey had violated the protocol that clearly stated that investigative agencies should refrain in the last 60 days of an election campaign from publicizing any development which could tilt the polls in favour of one candidate or the other.

Mrs Clinton emphasised the message that Mr Trump has a bad temper and an overly cavalier attitude toward nuclear weapons at rallies in the battleground state of OH yesterday.

“There is no case here”, Clinton insisted.

On Monday, the FBI released an archive of documents from a long-closed investigation into Bill Clinton’s 2001 presidential pardon of a fugitive financier, prompting questions from Hillary Clinton’s campaign about its timing.

Daniel C. Richman, an adviser to Comey and a Columbia University law professor, argued that despite the backlash, Comey’s decision to inform Congress preserved the FBI’s independence, which will ultimately benefit the next president.
