 The latest from the US shows that this was a tough week for Hillary Clinton as her percentage of winning decreased from a 70% to a 60% and Donald Trump reduced the gap.

Hillary is still winning in the popular vote by a 2.4% margin and she is still winning the electoral votes by 20 votes. The number to take into consideration is the 270 votes and Trump is still below it by 23 votes.

Hillary’s gap was reduced this week due to several reasons, but the most influential are the loss of the young vote and the money spent on T.V. Ad’s.

Young voters are moving towards Johnson, the Libertarian candidate who asked what is Aleppo in a live interview!  But Americans don’t care about what he knows and what he doesn’t, actually 90% of Americans don’t know what is Aleppo so let’s not judge the man on this mistake!

Hillary noticed that she is losing the young votes and in attempt to gain them back, the former US presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is helping her among other democrats, by visiting university campus and meeting with youth.

Even the first lady Michelle Obama helped her way in a visit to Virginia University.

Trump had spent a total of 17 million dollars on T.V. Ad’s as of September 12, but last week he spent a total of 8 million dollars in ads which mounts to almost 50 percent of what he spent in his whole campaign previously, while Hillary’s spending kept steady in for the past week and she spent around 7 million dollars in ads.

The polls are expected to get tighter as Trump is trying to invest the attacks that occurred in New York and Minnesota to his favor, saying that those attacks are terrorist attacks and the main people to blame are those in the Obama administration.

Trump and Hillary will be both meeting with several international leaders in New York on the annual UN gathering in a way to show that they both have the needed experience.

As she was the Secretary of State and the first lady, her experience is undeniable but one should be skeptical about Trump’s.

The polls won’t be affected by those meetings unless something big happens, but almost 95% of the American population doesn’t care about foreign policy or foreign relations.

The big date is September 26 and that is the date of the first presidential debate and none of the other presidential candidates made it except the democratic and republican nominees.

The other two candidates are Jill Stein on behalf of the green party and Gary Johnson on behalf of the Libertarian party, we don’t know a lot about both but i am sure if Gary Johnson was in that debate he would have been smashed, yes he doesn’t know what Aleppo is!
