It’s Hers to Lose

Hillary Clinton is on pace to shatter the voting history of college-educated whites, according to a new report that lays out Donald Trump’s dire position in the presidential race.

By David Catanese | Senior Politics Writer Oct. 6, 2016, at 11:41 a.m.

There are millions of voter contacts yet to be made, thousands of tweets yet to be sent, more than 700 hours of cable news yet to be broadcast, dozens of crowds yet to be rallied, a handful of gaffes yet to be committed and two debates yet to be fought. But in the final 33 days left in this wild, wacky, whimsical presidential campaign for the ages, it's abundantly clear that this is Hillary Clinton's race to lose.

Put another way, it looks like she's gonna win.

The Democratic nominee is ahead of Donald Trump by 3 to 6 points nationally and has carved out small leads in a majority of battleground states. She is outspending Trump 4 to 1 on television advertising, including by a gaping $32 million in Florida and a yawning $22 million in Ohio.

President Barack Obama's job approval rating also is over 50 percent, a welcome harbinger for a candidate in the same party trying to succeed him. While the economy may be stagnant and struggling to grow, it is not in a recession. Unemployment is relatively low and consumer confidence is high, all good signs for the party asking to remain in power.

decrease Republicans' numerous methods of practicing election and voter fraud. And I think
this time they are going to cheat on a scale undreamed of in the past.

And they've probably been doing it for some time -- long before Dubya & his bunch.

Hillary will be sworn in as the 1st female POTUS. Don will be fighting multiple lawsuits that he won't be able to overcome.

with early voting, we are in the process of winning.
On local and entertainment media, she is being treated more fairly now. (at least sometimes)
the tide is shifting, we just need to keep that momentum.

feeling pretty good, these winds...
