Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has outpaced rival Donald Trump by 15 points in Wisconsin, according to the state's leading poll. Numbers released by the latest Marquette Law School poll show Clinton with strong leads in states that will prove pivotal in the November election. The polls found Clinton leading Trump 52 to 37 per cent.
Strategists of Republican candidate and billionaire Donald Trump, who is mostly known for his loud-mouthed obnoxiousness, than his competence to run the country, have argued that he can win the election by appealing to the working-class white voters in industrial states from Pennsylvania to Ohio, and Michigan to Wisconsin. However, the odds are certainly not in his favour just yet. In Wisconsin, the four way match up among likely voters found Clinton at 47 per cent, Trump at 34 per cent, Johnson 9 per cent, and Stein 3 per cent. The survey also found that voter impressions of the Democrat had grown more favourable since July, while Don's has mostly remained steady, and negative. Among registered voters, a mere 27 per cent had a favourable view and 53 per cent were unfavourable.
Meanwhile, Don mocked Clinton's recent bout with pneumonia, at a late-night campaign rally in Pennsylvania. Addressing a mass of supporters, he said, "Here's a woman who is supposed to fight all of these different things and she can't make it 15 feet to her car." He then mocked her by swaying side to side, and take a few stumbling steps away from the podium, in a mimick of her departure from a September 11 memorial event when aides helped her into a van after she fell ill. This isn't the first time Trump attacked her health. While the Clinton campaign hasn't responded to the latest jibe, the former secretary of state lashed at the Republican saying, "As soon as he travels to 112 countries and negotiates a peace deal, a cease fire, a release of dissidents, an opening of new opportunities in nations around the world, or even spends 11 hours testifying in front of a congressional committee he can talk to me about stamina."
