A new Quinnipiac University poll shows the presidential race between presumptive democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and her republican counterpart Donald Trump is close in some key swing states. What it found is that Trump has a three point lead over Clinton in Florida, the two are tied in Ohio, and in Pennsylvania, Trump leads Clinton 43 to 41. University of New Haven Political Science Professor Joshua Sandman says he is not surprised by what the poll found.
SAN FRANCISCO >> In a summer of political and racial tumult, young Americans are in a dour mood: pessimistic about the fairness of their economic system, questioning the greatness of the United States and deeply skeptical of the way the nation picks its leaders. A new poll of young people between the ages of 18 and 30 finds that an overwhelming 90 percent think the two-party political system has real - though fixable - problems or that it is "seriously broken."
Former House speaker Newt Gingrich leaves after a closed-door meeting in March with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in Washington.

President Barack Obama meets with Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India in the Oval Office at the White House on June 7, 2016 in Washington, D.C. The Democratic Party is proposing a big overhaul of its official position on education, one which would give a huge victory to teachers unions while also repudiating almost all of President Barack Obama's legacy on K-12 schooling. The Obama administration has long aggravated teachers unions by favoring education reform policies, such as tying teacher evaluations to test scores and expanding the use of charter schools.
After Bernie Sanders endorsed Democratic primary opponent Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, die-hard fans of the senator threatened that they wouldn't be as willing to transfer their allegiances to the presumptive nominee. But for all the talk of Sanders supporters moving to the Green Party, staying home or even voting for GOP candidate Donald Trump instead, already some of his backers are lining up behind Clinton.
Some of Bernie Sanders' most loyal backers have turned into his biggest bashers on the heels of his Hillary Clinton endorsement.

Hillary Clinton is calling on the country - including herself - to "do a better job of listening" rather than fueling political and other divisions after a series of high-profile shootings.

Now, with your impending arrival this week, it is your turn. Before I get to the sentimental thoughts and advice, I just have to tell you how difficult naming you has been.
Hillary Clinton, standing inside the same chamber that helped shape Abraham Lincoln into the father of the Republican Party, argued Wednesday that Donald Trump was perverting what his party once stood for. Clinton, flanked by American flags and standing beneath a portrait of George Washington, said Trump is dividing the United States and is a far cry from Lincoln, who argued against slavery in the same chamber in 1858, famously telling the assembled lawmakers that "a house divided against itself cannot stand."

For all the talk about 2016 being a wildly unusual election cycle, it's looking a whole lot like 2012.

A painting of President George Washington hangs behind Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton as she speaks at the Old State House in Springfield, Ill.

"It was the first time I had hit an obstacle I couldn't overcome with hard work and determination, and I was outraged," she would write in her book, "Living History." More than a half-century later, and after much hard work, much determination, and most of all, many, many obstacles - some undeniably of her own making - Clinton is no closer to actual space travel.
Just a day after Bernie Sanders gave his full-throated support to presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, the Vermont senator discussed the thought process behind his decision in an interview with "CBS This Morning."

President Obama speaks at the General Assembly of the Union for Reform Judaism at National Harbor in Maryland in December 2011. Regardless of whether Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton wins November's election, the next president faces what looks to be a nearly impossible task when it comes to governing: Persuading the other side to compromise.
A federal judge who has been a target of Donald Trump's unending scorn must decide whether to release videos of the presumed Republican presidential nominee testifying in a lawsuit about the now-defunct Trump University - images that Trump's attorneys worry will be used to tarnish the campaign. U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel faces Trump's attorneys Wednesday for the first time since he permitted the release of unrelated documents in a class-action lawsuit alleging fraud, a move that led Trump to intensify his unusual attacks on the judge that included mention of his Mexican heritage.
Kaine is a whip-smart Harvard Law School graduate who speaks with ease while campaigning, rarely needing a prepared text. He is the former governor of Virginia and current senator from the state.
Donald Trump is wildly unpopular among young adults, in particular young people of colour, and nearly two-thirds of Americans between the ages of 18 and 30 believe the presumptive Republican nominee is racist. That's the finding of a new GenForward poll that also found just 19 per cent of young people have a favourable opinion of Trump compared to the three-quarters of young adults who hold a dim view of the New York billionaire.
