135 Days Till Election Day: No new polls

No new state polls today, but some interesting headlines:

Who Is Ahead In Arizona, Clinton or Trump? Polls Disagree

(Arizona Daily Star) -- Two polls out this week Arizona can't seem to decide who is ahead in the presidential race here in Arizona.

A poll by Strategies 360 of 503 likely voters has Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump ahead statewide by five percent, while Predictive Insights interviewed 1,060 likely voters and found Democratic presidential Hillary Clinton ahead of Trump, also by five percent.

Politico Delegate Survey: Dump Trump Lacks The Votes

(Politico) -- Republicans looking to dump Donald Trump at next month’s convention have passion, energy and a fierce sense that their party will suffer unless Trump is unseated. What they appear to lack, however, are the votes to make it happen.

Politico reached out to all 112 members of the committee that will write the rules of the national GOP convention. This is the panel that anti-Trump activists hope to jam a proposal through to free convention delegates to spurn Trump and select another candidate instead.

Draft of Dems’ Policy Positions Reflects Sanders’ Influence

(Washington Post) -- A draft of the Democratic Party’s policy positions reflects the influence of Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign: endorsing steps to break up large Wall Street banks, advocating a $15 hourly wage, urging an end to the death penalty.

Hillary Clinton’s supporters turned back efforts by Sanders’ allies to promote a Medicare-for-all single-payer health care system and a carbon tax to address climate change, and freeze hydraulic fracking.

Many Experienced GOP Strategists Unwilling To Work For Trump

(Washington Post) -- Donald Trump has finally acknowledged that to best compete against Hillary Clinton he needs more than the bare-bones campaign team that led him to primary success. But many of the most experienced Republican political advisers aren’t willing to work for him.

From Texas to New Hampshire, well-respected members of the Republican Party’s professional class say they cannot look past their deep personal and professional reservations about the presumptive presidential nominee.
