Clinton’s Lead Keeps Shrinking
I, for one, welcome the unofficial end of summer. I’ll miss the Olympics and fancy tomato salads. But it’s an election year, and Labor Day is usually accompanied by a return to more substantive news cycles — along with a significant increase in the amount of polling.

The post-Labor Day sprint to the presidential election began with welcome news for Donald Trump. A CNN national poll of likely voters released Tuesday found him 2 points ahead of Hillary Clinton, who has made few public appearances in recent weeks while barnstorming the fundraising circuit.

Arizona is a too-close-to-call presidential battleground between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump, according to a new statewide Arizona Republic/Morrison/Cronkite News poll.
