Hedge funds, private equity and insurance executives have given a combined $24.9 million to Clinton and the super-PACs supporting her, a Bloomberg review of campaign finance records shows. The financial industry has sent in a flood of cash to help her. She raised $25 million and spent $23.9 million in April. Sanders spent $38.6 million in April but raised only $26.9 million, ending the month with $5.8 million, records show.Ĭlinton started May with $30 million. Not only did he sometimes raise more money than Clinton, who has relied more on a smaller number of wealthy donors, he spent more on TV ads in several states.īut now, the money appears to be drying up as Sanders faces long odds of winning the nomination, according to a new filing with the Federal Election Commission. Until recently, the Vermont senator and Democratic presidential candidate has been able to count on an impressive network of small-dollar donors to help him go toe-to-toe with Clinton. USA TODAY said the ABC-Washington Post poll was released Saturday, and the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll on Sunday.īernie Sanders could be running low on cash. Strikingly, 57% of voters also had an unfavorable view of Trump, but he holds a slight advantage: Only 45% have a strong unfavorable view, and 40% have a favorable one. It found that 57% of the 829 voters polled May 16-19 have an unfavorable view of Clinton - and 46% of them have a strongly unfavorable view 41% view her favorably. The Post-ABC poll also asked survey respondents whether they have a favorable or unfavorable impression of the candidates, and how strongly they felt that way. A month ago, USA TODAY said, Clinton led Trump by 11 points: 50% to 39%. The Wall Street Journal and NBC News show Clinton leading, 46% to 43%. The Washington Post reports that its poll with ABC shows Trump leading Clinton, 46% to 44%. Two new national polls are showing that a contest between Trump and Democratic front-runner Clinton would be a dead heat. Published last Monday, it reads, “Faced with the prospect of voting for either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, Mary Anne Noland of Richmond chose, instead, to pass into the eternal love of God.” The family of Mary Anne Alfriend Noland told WWBT-TV in Richmond, Va., they tried to pass along her sense of humor. His family tried to honor that wish by wrapping up his obituary with the request “that people elect NOT to vote for Hillary Clinton.” Just before dying this month, Carl Crocetti of Stoughton, Mass., said he wanted Trump to be president. Hinds’ mother, Susan Pool, said her daughter did not like the presumptive Republican presidential nominee and feared what the future might hold for her three young children if he’s elected. Last week in Alabama, relatives of Katherine Michelle Hinds, 34, published an obituary that said “In lieu of flowers, do not vote for Donald Trump.” In a heated election season filled with bickering, the dearly departed are getting the last word in their obituaries.
