Vegas CEO: I'm crossing the aisle to back Clinton Jim Murren 3:18 a.m. EDT August 15, 2016 I'm a lifelong Republican and I've never made a public endorsement. But this was an easy call. (Photo: Mel Evans, AP) As a lifelong registered Republican, I’ve crossed the aisle only a few times in elections past, and almost never at the presidential level. Each time, it was a gut-wrenching decision. But this year it’s an easy choice. I’m going to put my country ahead of my party by voting for Hillary Clinton — and by making my first-ever public endorsement of a presidential candidate. Here's why. First, like every CEO I know, I’m in favor of strong economic growth and the policies that generate it. Trade has always been an essential component of any credible pro-growth economic plan. One candidate in the race has pledged to support trade agreements that will boost our economy and benefit American workers, while ensuring that our environment is protected. The other candidate seems determined to needlessly antagonize our allies and trading partners by pledging to tear up NAFTA and other hard-won trade agreements. One candidate works to create stability and certainty, qualities the market loves and rewards. The other operates erratically and unpredictably — qualities the market abhors and punishes.

One wonderful thing early voting let's you do is just IGNORE the election and all the campaign ads, since it's OVER, as far as you're concerned.. It's also unconstitutional.

Pow: It´s just a 2-point race, Clinton 38%, Trump 36%

The convention polling bumps for Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton and Republican Donald Trump are over, and they are practically even, according to a new poll of likely voters. A Zogby Analytics survey provided to Secrets Tuesday shows: Hillary Clinton 38% Donald Trump 36% Libertarian Gary Johnson 8% Green Party Jill Stein 5% Not sure 13% "It seems the convention bumps are behind us and we are back to a close race!" said the analysis. What´s new in the online poll is that older millennials are starting to trend to Trump.

Trump's team believes that online polls more accurately show the horserace because more and more voters prefer to give their opinions anonymously.

Pollster John Zogby is a specialist in digging into specific voting blocks, some of which he has given names like NASCAR and Weekly Walmart voters. Zogby revealed in the new poll analysis that those two groups of voters trended Democratic under President Obama, but are now behind Trump.

Overall, Zogby said that Clinton leads middle income voters, blacks, women and Hispanics. Trump leads among independents, men and older voters.

The takeaways from Zogby Analytics' analysis:

— Donald Trump continues to lead among his core groups, which are men, he leads Clinton 41% to 35%. He also leads Clinton among older likely voters such as 50-64 year olds (41%-36%), and those 65+ (44%-36%).
