Clinton achieves 12-point lead over Trump
Published on 24 October, 2016
Washington, Oct 24: US Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has a 12-point lead over her rival Republican Donald Trump and has reached 50 per cent support nationally among likely voters, a new ABC News tracking poll shows.
The poll shows Clinton with 50 per cent support to Trump's 38 per cent, with 5 per cent backing Libertarian Gary Johnson and 2 per cent supporting the Green Party's Jill Stein, CNN reported.
The poll comes on the heels of the third presidential debate, which a post-debate CNN/ORC snap poll showed Clinton won.
The ABC News survey's results show Clinton with a 20-point advantage among women, and a three-point edge with men -- a group that has tilted toward Trump for most of the 2016 race.
Clinton leads among voters of all education levels -- but her three-point advantage with those without college degrees is smaller than her 20-point lead among voters with college degrees.
Trump's strongest group remains white, non-college educated voters, who back him 55 per cent to 36 per cent.
The ABC News poll was conducted October 20-22 and includes 874 likely voters. Its margin of error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
Hillary Clinton has said she will no longer respond to her Republican rival Donald Trump and instead dedicate the final stretch of her campaign in discussing her proposals for the upcoming November 8 elections.
"I do not even think about answering (Trump) any more," Clinton told the media on Saturday while travelling from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia as she made campaign stops in both cities located in Pennsylvania.
The Democrat, who leads Trump in the polls, said she had already debated with her opponent for four and a half hours in the three presidential debates.
"I'm going to let the American people decide between what he offers and what we offer. So he can say whatever he wants to," Efe news quoted Clinton as saying.
Trump's electoral offensive has been marked by attacks on Clinton, accusing her of being the media favourite and alleging the elections are "rigged".
On several occasions, the business mogul has reiterated that if elected, he intends to launch an investigation into Clinton over her use of a private server to send official emails while she was Secretary of State, warning that it could even spell a jail sentence for her.
In the final debate between the White House hopefuls in Las Vegas last week, he called Clinton "a nasty woman".
The former first lady has stressed that Trump "can run his campaign however he wants to, he can go off on tangents", while she is determined to talk about "what we (Democrats) want to do".
In the two campaign events held on Saturday in Pennsylvania -- a key state for election victory -- Clinton was accompanied by her running mate Tim Kaine.
On Sunday, President Barack Obama will take part in a pro-Clinton rally in Nevada, another battleground state that could sway the final results of the hotly-contested election.

Trump's campaign chief admits mogul's 'behind' Clinton in the polls
Washington, Oct 24: US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's campaign director Kellyanne Conway said on Sunday that "this election doesn't feel over", although she admitted that "we are behind" the real-estate magnate's Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
Clinton "has some advantages," EFE news quoted Conway as telling to NBC's "Meet the Press", including "$66 million in ad buys just in the month of September, ... doubling her ad buys from August. ... She has a former President, who happens to be her husband (Bill Clinton), campaigning for her. The current President and First Lady (Barack and Michelle Obama), Vice President (Joe Biden), all much more popular than she can hope to be."
Conway said on the circuit of Sunday morning political discussion programmes that many media outlets say that a win by Clinton is virtually a foregone conclusion.
Because of Clinton's advantages, Conway said, Trump will invest more resources in the states considered to be crucial in winning the November 8 election, including Florida, Ohio, Iowa, North Carolina and Nevada.
She said that the campaign was not going to give up, adding that Trump can still win the election, despite being behind in the polls at present.
In all those key states, except Ohio, Clinton is ahead of Trump, but Conway said that the race is still close enough that it could turn in Trump's favour in the next two weeks.
Trump has redoubled his campaign efforts and in the coming days he will kick things up a notch with up to three rallies or other events per day in those states.
Between Sunday and Tuesday, the GOP candidate is scheduled to hold five rallies in Florida, the first one to take place on Sunday evening in the southwestern coastal city of Naples.

ഓരോ അവന്മാരുടെ ഗതികേടെ! ട്രെമ്പിന്റെ പുറകെ പോയപ്പോഴേ പറഞ്ഞതാ ഇത് ശരിയാകേല എന്ന്. ഇപ്പോൾ നോക്കിക്കെ ട്രംപിന്റെ കൂടെ കുഴിയിൽ ചാടി മരിക്കണ്ട ഗതികേടാ. ഇവനെപ്പോലുള്ളവന്മാര് ഒറ്റക്ക് പോകില്ല കൂടെ രണ്ടുപേരെങ്കിലും വേണം. കൂവള്ളൂർ ചേട്ടന് കാര്യം പിടികിട്ടി അദ്ദേഹം പടോം കട്ടേം മടക്കി സ്ഥലം വിട്ടു.. പക്ഷെ മൂത്താപ്പൻ. ചാവേർ പടയിലുള്ള ആളാണ് അയാൾ ചത്താലും ട്രംപ് ജീവിക്കണം എന്നുള്ള വാശി. അമാൻഡായെയും ജൂലിയാനെയും വെറുതെ വീട്. ട്രമ്പിനേം അനുയായികളേം സ്ത്രീകളുടെ അടുത്തു അടുപ്പിക്കാൻ കൊള്ളില്ല.
A letter to the daughter
"I am so sorry that the world I've brought you into is one in which not only is Donald Trump possible, but possibly the next President of the United States. I had hoped that by this point in history, we would be better than this. Apparently, we're not.
You know some of what Donald Trump has said and done in this campaign. You hear it on the news, kids talk about it at school. "I hate Donald Trump," you said the other day during breakfast. Please don't. Don't hate one sad man with a lot of power and little self-restraint. And don't hate the people who are enthusiastically supporting him. Donald Trump is running a campaign of hate, and hate cannot be solved by hate but by empathy and understanding.
