Poll: Clinton up 7 points on Trump in Va.

Donald Trump has closed some of the gap in Virginia, but Hillary Clinton still leads the state by seven points, a new poll finds.

In an election cycle full of dramatic twists and turns, the first presidential debate will be a game changer for Donald Trump.

Trump’s bizarre ad strategy

It’s seven weeks before Election Day, five days before the highly anticipated first debate, and Donald Trump’s television advertisements have all but vanished.

Trump’s ads last ran nearly a week ago in four battleground states: Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Since then, the GOP presidential nominee has ceded the airwaves to Hillary Clinton — and is only poised to launch a limited, less-targeted ad campaign in the days before next week’s debate.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have been locked in a fierce election battle for months, but tens of millions of Americans will compare their presidential bona fides side-by-side anew on Monday.

The first of three debates promises to be a national sensation, contrasting two vastly different New Yorkers who are recognized around the world.
