In the Year of Trump, the South isn’t red vs. blue — it’s black vs. white

A new poll in Louisiana shows Donald Trump leading by 20 points. And the reason is no surprise: white voters.

What is surprising, though, is the degree to which that statement is true — i.e. just how much Trump dominates among whites. Hillary Clinton takes just 12 percent of them in the Mason-Dixon poll; Trump takes 75 percent.

Donald Trump Gets First Major Endorsement in Las Vegas

Poll: Clinton, Trump tied nationally

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are in a dead heat just two weeks before the presidential election, a poll released Monday shows.

Trump launches campaign blitz in must-win Florida

Republican Donald Trump, fighting through polls that suggest his presidential bid is slipping away, launched a campaign blitz Sunday in must-win Florida, where he will spend three days trying to avoid a loss in his second-home state.

Trump flew into Collier County Fairgrounds, in Republican-safe southwest Florida, on his helicopter to an eager crowd of more than 3,000 people Sunday.

Texas, usually safe Republican bastion, is in play this election according to poll results released Sunday by CBS News/YouGov.

Hillary Clinton trails Donald Trump by 3 percentage points in the Lone Star State where 38 electoral votes are at stake, well within the poll’s 4.4 percentage point margin of error.
