The Trump campaign is admitting that things don't look good
With less than 20 days remaining until American voters cast their ballots in what has been one of the ugliest, most tumultuous presidential elections in modern American history, Donald Trump is limping to the finish line. For more than two weeks, the bombastic New York billionaire has been on the defensive as nearly a dozen women have come forward with allegations of sexual assault and harassment against him. Now that he’s facing a double-digit deficit in a number of nationwide polls to Hillary Clinton, a Trump presidency is looking far from likely—and even the Republican standard bearer’s campaign is admitting it.
“We are behind,” Kellyanne Conway, the G.O.P. nominee’s campaign manager, conceded during an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press, on Sunday morning when asked about Trump’s standing in the polls, adding that Clinton has “tremendous advantages,” such as her lineup of campaign surrogates, including the Obamas and her husband Bill. “Our advantage is that Donald Trump is just going to keep bringing the case directly to the people,” Conway continued, noting that she thinks the campaign is going to focus on attracting undecided voters. “We need to bring them aboard over the next couple of weeks.”
But the Trump campaign has a lot of ground to make up before November 8 and the path to victory is looking increasingly narrow: The G.O.P. nominee lags behind his Democratic rival in a number of key battleground states, including Pennsylvania and North Carolina, and a number of deep red states are on the brink of turning blue. The real estate mogul trails Clinton by an average of almost six points nationally in a four-way contest with third party candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein.
