Even after Philadelphia, the momentum of the race to the White House points in Trump’s direction.
After what even critics said was a highly effective Democratic National Convention, Hillary Clinton appears to have emerged as . . . the underdog.
Conventional wisdom has long held that Mrs. Clinton will capture the White House in November, regardless of the challenges her candidacy faces. With three months to go, that calculus looks shaky. The 2016 election is trending toward Donald Trump.
Mr. Trump is surging as well in swing states, where he is now slightly ahead, within the margin of error, or at least within striking distance. The Real Clear Politics polling average for Florida puts the GOP nominee up by 0.3 percentage points. In Ohio he is down by 0.8 points. And in Pennsylvania he trails by 4.4 points.
This is pretty astounding, considering that Clinton & Co. has spent $57 million on ads thus far—$25 million from the campaign and $32 million from super PACs. Team Trump has put up only $3.6 million in ads, all from outside groups.
Mrs. Clinton’s campaign is weighed down by other factors. Her negatives have reached their highest point yet. Recent Gallup polling shows that 38% of Americans view her favorably and 57% unfavorably. That’s her worst score since 1996, before she entered politics in her own right, and a far cry from the 69% approval she enjoyed in The Wall Street Journal/NBC poll when she left public office in 2013.
I have worked for both Clintons—Bill in 1996 presidential campaign and Hillary in her 2000 Senate campaign. No one knows better than I do that they understand how to fight and will do what it takes to win. The question is whether that will be enough. Hillary Clinton—and the Democrats—are now battling uphill.

I agree 100% with the Dog part
As I Predicted.
the ultimate payback for her life of corruption, slime, and villany will be to send her to her grave having been cheated out of “her legacy” twice.
LOL! My immediate first thought, too.
She is a dog...and my heartfelt apology to ALL dogs.
The Clinton Crime Cartel, Underhanded.
There. Fixed it.
The question is how she has even 10% who view her positively.
I think it’s spelled Klinton Krime Kartel, at least in Dolly Kyle Browning’s new book.
The only thing that will defeat Trump is massive voter fraud, which the Democrat Party has mastered over the last several elections.
This was coming from the start. It has long been part of the crooked clinton playbook.
The plan is simple. Portray her as the dog now. Exaggerate her “comeback” as November approaches. Create a phony “miracle comeback” narrative in the days leading up to the vote. Bandwagon effect.
The question is how she has even 10% who view her positively.

If she has 38% support how can she be higher in the polls?
Was this prediction after or before they put NC in the able to commit fraud column by having judge overturn voter ID law?
Libs fat boy Michael Moore and now Doug Schoen think Trump is going to be the winner. Love to hear the left being demoralized.
Favorable/unfavorable rating were supposed to be Trump’s biggest problem. Huffpo poll average:
Favorable:
Clinton: 40%
Trump: 40%
Unfavorable:
Clinton: 56%
Trump: 56%
The experts said Trump had no path to closing the favorability gap.
I wouldn’t worry about voter fraud, Trump has Manafort, he’s great on this stuff...
Trump is going to the Oval Office, no questions about it...
and roger stone.. he knows every dirty trick in the book.
I hope the reporter at the WSJ got permission through the DNC before sending this story on to their editors.
Thieving, conniving, bite a baby pitbull style dog. Yes she is a dog alright. But the underdog theme is so passé. It’s been used so many times. Using it this time for someone like Hitlery when she’s got far more funding, the NSA, Goodgle, Soros, the socialists, the globalists, the NWO, and professional media liars on her side says, stop the BS. She’s no underdog.
Just the lefties lying once again.
Oh yes, forgot about him...is he working for Trump??? I heard when he came out with “War on Women” that he wouldn’t be working anywhere the campaign, he didn’t want this book or the other book “Jeb! and the Bush Crime Family” to interfere with Trump’s campaign...
Hmmm, don’t know....
