Trump campaign says it's "behind," as new poll shows him down double digits



In the final sprint of the general election season, Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is acknowledging that it’s playing catch-up to Hillary Clinton, just as a new national poll shows the Republican nominee trailing his opponent by double digits.

When asked on NBC News how she saw the state of the race, Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s campaign manager, replied that “We are behind.”

“She has some advantages, like $66 million in ad buys just in the month of September, thereby doubling her ad buys from August,” Conway pointed out. “Now, most of those ads are negative against Donald Trump, classic politics, personal destruction...kind of ads. And that she has tremendous advantages.”

During the run-up to the Nov. 8 election, however, Trump has also increased his television advertising budget. In the third week of October, Trump’s campaign surpassed Clinton for the first time in TV ad buys, spending $14 million on advertising campaigns, versus Clinton’s $10 million.

Conway’s admission comes just as a new poll from ABC News shows Clinton with a double-digit advantage nationally, with Trump taking knocks from the recent reports of his treatment of women and his claims of voter fraud and a “rigged” election.

If Trump was truly rich he could have spent that amount on TV ads.

If we'd had any other candidate, all he or she would have had to do is repeat what was released via Wikileaks.   Trump couldn't turn even that to his advantage.

I don't believe the polls and the media, I know that McMullin has this won.

Would not need it. Hillary would have lost to a ham sandwich, none of this Wikileak crap would be needed
