NYT/Siena College: Clinton and Trump Tied in NC - 41 % 41 %

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/09/22/upshot/north-carolina-upshot-siena-poll.html?_r=0

Well-educated white voters are rejecting Republican candidates in North Carolina, and it might just be enough to jeopardize the chances of Donald J. Trump to win the presidency and his party to keep the Senate. Hillary Clinton and Mr. Trump are tied, 41 percent to 41 percent, among likely voters in a three-way race in North Carolina, according to a New York Times Upshot/Siena College poll released on Thursday. Mrs. Clinton leads by two percentage points in a head-to-head contest, 45 percent to 43 percent.

The presidential contest might be the least of the Republican Party’s worries in this rapidly changing state. The embattled Republican governor, Pat McCrory, trails by eight points against Attorney General Roy Cooper, 50 percent to 42 percent. And even Senator Richard Burr, who was not thought to be in great jeopardy just a few months ago, trails his Democratic challenger, Deborah Ross, by four points, 46-42. That contest is among the handful that seem likely to decide control of the Senate.

It is her largest lead in a public survey so far, and in general, the poll offers stronger results for Democrats than several surveys in the state this month.

Perhaps no battleground state is as polarized along demographic lines as North Carolina. Mr. Trump has a lead of 53 percent to 28 percent among white voters, most likely his best tally with that group in any of the battleground states. Mrs. Clinton holds the overwhelming support of black voters, at 86 percent to 3 percent in a three-way race.

Trump: I said Obama was born in US to "get on with the campaign"

Donald Trump on Wednesday said he wanted to "get on with the campaign" when he announced last week that he had moved past conspiracy theories about President Obama's birthplace.


When asked what made him change his mind about Obama's birthplace in an interview with Ohio's Fox 28, the Republican nominee replied that he wanted to focus on the real issues of the campaign.

"Well I just wanted to get on with, I wanted to get on with the campaign. A lot of people were asking me questions," he said. "We want to talk about jobs. We want to talk about the military. We want to talk about ISIS and get rid of ISIS. We want to talk about bringing jobs back to this area because you've been decimated so we just wanted to get back on the subject of jobs, military, taking care of our vets, etc."

Trump Says 'Places Like Afghanistan are Safer' Than U.S. Inner Cities

KENANSVILLE, N.C — Donald Trump on Tuesday escalated his rhetoric on the state of America's minority communities, telling a crowd that "places like Afghanistan are safer than some of our inner cities."

"We're going to rebuild our inner cities because our African-American communities are absolutely in the worst shape that they've ever been in before. Ever, ever, ever," Trump assessed. "You take a look at the inner cities, you get no education, you get no jobs, you get shot walking down the street



it's an image Trump has conjured many times at rallies and in speeches over recent weeks in his attempt to court minority voters, along with his now infamous final pitch: What do you have to lose by voting Trump? Generally, Trump ticks down a list of problems faced by black Americans — lack of access to quality education, need for safety, a dearth of jobs — and promises he can fix it. Trump's image of black communities, however, tends to hyperbolize the black experience in America and plays into stereotypes about the experience of African Americans in the United States that does not match the reality.
