Hillary Clinton tops Donald Trump in two new polls of younger voters, but both surveys suggest that many young voters are inclined to choose someone other than the two major party candidates or to stay home entirely on election day.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are deadlocked in the crucial swing states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida, according to new polls showing the presumptive Republican presidential nominee gaining strength on his Democratic rival because of doubts about her honesty.

Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson said Donald Trump says "racist" things and should be disqualified from becoming president for saying that he is "looking at" replacing employees of the Transportation Security Administration who are Muslim and wear hijabs.

Is the window closing on Bernie Sanders's moment? A number of folks, your humble blogger included , have suggested as much.

Happy Social Media Day, everyone! At first we were worried when Donald Trump's live events started to lose their bombast ; lately, the @realDonaldTrump Twitter account is looking a bit too slick as well. Let's have a 140-character moment of silence for what once was.
