AJC poll: Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are deadlocked in Georgia

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are deadlocked in Georgia with less than three weeks until Election Day, according to a new Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll.

Tiny Maine is getting outsize attention from Clinton and Trump

Michael Madore and Tom Leet remember when this was called the “Magic City,” an oasis of prosperity in the dense Maine woods. The magic and the paper mills that created it are gone, and the men disagree on which presidential candidate can best help bring something — anything — back. But they know this year their vote might have a little more weight than usual.

Trump’s incredible shrinking map

In June, POLITICO identified 11 key battleground states — totaling 146 electoral votes — that would effectively decide the presidential election in November. A new examination of polling data and strategic campaign ad buys indicates that six of those 11 are now comfortably in Hillary Clinton’s column.

Clinton leads Donald Trump by 5 points or greater in POLITICO’s Battleground States polling average in Colorado, Michigan, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.

Debate Takeaways: Donald Trump Had a Lot to Do, and He Didn’t Do It

Last chance, no backsies. The third and final presidential debate, held in Las Vegas on Wednesday night, was the last real chance for either Hillary Clinton or Donald J. Trump to shift the momentum of the 2016 campaign. Wherever the race is now, it is highly likely to stay that way for the next 19 days. So what happened? Check out our takeaways.

Republicans despondent that Trump threw away final debate

Donald Trump’s rocky performance on the final debate stage did little to allay his party’s concerns that the GOP is headed for an electoral catastrophe up and down the ticket.

In interviews with over a dozen senior Republican strategists, not one said Trump did anything to change the trajectory of a contest that is growing further out of reach.

A focus group led by veteran Republican pollster Frank Luntz gave Donald Trump a slightly higher rating on Wednesday night when asked who won the third and final presidential debate.

Luntz hosted a group of 26 undecided Nevada voters at the debate in Las Vegas, where Trump and Hillary Clinton faced off for the last time before voters cast their ballots on Nov. 8. At the end of the 90-minute spectacle, 14 voters said Trump came out on top while 12 voters thought Clinton scored a victory.
