HUFFPOLLSTER: Hillary Clinton’s Biggest Problem Could Be Voter Turnout

The latest controversy over Clinton’s emails isn’t changing minds, but could cost her turnout. Several key Senate races look closer than ever. And Donald Trump is contesting how much money he owes his pollster. This is HuffPollster for Tuesday, November 1, 2016.

FBI STORY CHANGED FEW MINDS ABOUT CLINTON - HuffPollster: “Most Americans see the ongoing saga over Hillary Clinton’s emails as a serious problem, a new HuffPost/YouGov poll finds, but very few think the latest chapter sheds any new light on the Democratic nominee….Views of both candidates are mostly baked in, and split largely along party lines. The FBI’s announcement ― especially given how much it is lacking in concrete detail ― seems to be functioning as a kind of political inkblot test, with Americans reading into it whatever they were already inclined to believe beforehand. Republicans may be increasingly dubious about Clinton’s ethics, but most were never at any risk of voting for her, either. Accordingly, Americans are strikingly unlikely to say that the story has changed their mind about Clinton. Just 5 percent say the latest development tells them anything new about Clinton, while 52 percent say it confirms what they already thought of her, and 34 percent that it doesn’t have much effect on their opinion of her.” [HuffPost]
