Clinton returns to the trail -- and not a moment too soon for Democrats
After missing three days of campaigning and
fundraising to recover from pneumonia, Hillary Clinton is back on the
trail. And her return is not a moment too soon for Democrats, with
Donald Trump continuing to gain ground in the polls -- if not overtaking
her in some key battleground states. The latest national polls still
show Clinton leading Trump: Quinnipiac has her up five points among likely voters, while the New York Times/CBS poll has her ahead by just two in a head-to-head matchup. But two polls yesterday (via CNN and Bloomberg) found Trump leading in Ohio, and another survey (via CNN)
showed Trump up in Florida. Bottom line: The political winds are
currently at Trump's back, and Team Clinton should be worried. The state
of the race now puts so much more pressure on the first debate (and
less margin for error). A campaign can always overreact to news like
this, but you also don't want to underreact.
