Somehow building that program took two weeks. Concern about health care peaks at 20 percent among liberals, while corruption and terrorism/national security top the list among strong conservatives, each cited by a quarter.

Trump meanwhile will make stops in New Hampshire, Ohio and Pennsylvania – all swing states. His brief letter advising Congress last Friday about the agency reviewing newly discovered emails said they might or might not be significant, but the news was seized on by Trump and other Republicans.

In New Hampshire, a WBUR poll showed Trump ahead by one point, 40 percent to 39 percent, while the candidates were tied at 42 percent each in a Boston Globe/Suffolk University poll.

Speaking more than 2,000 miles from the Mexican border, Trump drew loud cheers in Atkinson when he vowed to build a massive wall between the US and Mexico. Clinton has at least two.

In Raleigh, North Carolina, Clinton campaigned with former primary opponent Sen. Clinton, who has comfortable leads in big states such as California and NY, could more easily reach 270 votes without winning either Florida or North Carolina.

“We don’t want to blow it on November 8”, Trump said Thursday at the rally in Jacksonville, his fourth in Florida in two days.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager says the Democratic presidential nominee is building a “firewall” in states with early voting.

“Trump needs to hold that state to have any path to the nomination, and that is one state where he is kind of underperforming”.

Donald Trump’s legion of followers is growing confident of his victory in the presidential race – and many say they would refuse to accept his defeat. The campaign website lists the time as “TBD”.

The U.S. election is decided by the Electoral College made up of 548 persons and not a popular vote as it is obtained in most countries. His wife Melania gave a rare public speech nearby on Thursday. Clinton, the Democratic transplant who won over New Yorkers to start her political rise as their senator, will be at a sprawling convention center with a perhaps symbolic glass ceiling.

The survey showed Trump has seen his support grow in 24 states while while losing ground in 11; Clinton’s support fell in 13 states while shrinking in 22. Polling averages last week showed Clinton with a lead of between 4 and 7 points.

“It’s a pivotal state and those four votes actually mean something”, Williams said.

Among all likely voters, the biggest difference comes in trust to handle corruption in government: A 9-point advantage for Trump, 48-39 percent.

With early voting nearly complete, her campaign is focusing battlegrounds like Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Hampshire in the final days of the race.

Hillary Clinton is celebrating a new jobs report that shows USA employers added 161,000 jobs to the workforce last month.

Clinton and Obama, along with their spouses, will campaign together for a final pre-election rally in Philadelphia next Monday evening.

Neither candidate plans a late push in Virginia – another state which has no real early voting.

Democratic Party sources said such a faction was likely responsible for a recent surge in media leaks on alleged details of an ongoing FBI investigation of the Clinton Foundation. She was also appearing in Pittsburgh and Cleveland while running mate Tim Kaine traveled to Florida.
