US ELECTION; Hillary Clinton Hit Her Highest Level Of Support In A Major Poll


The Presidential Candidate of Democrat in the Coming US election, Hillary Clinton, on Monday jumped to her highest level of support by hitting 50% in a poll released from Monmouth University.

 The result is the second four-way race that showed Clinton with such lead, as posted by RealClearPolitics. The first poll was in early August when the Presidential Candidate of the Republican Party Trump experience diminishing support in the poll as a result of series of controversies.

The poll that was conducted by Monmouth. Clinton hit 50% support in a four-way race that included Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson, Green Party nominee Jill Stein, and Republican nominee Donald Trump who was behind by 38% among likely voters.


The director of the Independent Monmouth University Polling Institute, Patrick Murray, said: "Clinton has increased her lead among all registered voters, but the main difference between this month and previous month is that her supporters have become more enthusiastic, and thus more likely to turn out while Trump backers have become less likely to vote.

 The deteriorated Trump's polling numbers was as a result of a tape from 2005 released earlier this month in which Trump boasted about groping women and kissing them regardless of their consent.

 Following the release of the tape, that caused the likely identical collapse of Trump's support, score of women accused Trump of making unwanted sexual advances in the past.

Trump, in a burst of tweets overnight and early Sunday, had said repeatedly that US media are rigging the election by hammering away at what he calls fabricated accounts that he made unwanted sexual advances against women.

Trump again denied those allegations, which burst into the race last week in a steady, damaging stream. “Polls close, but can you believe I lost large numbers of women voters based on made up events THAT NEVER HAPPENED. Media rigging election!,” Trump wrote.

Most recent Electoral College projection found that if the election were held late last week, Clinton would most likely have enough electoral votes to win the presidency. And with the present lead, the poll may likely be over before the Nov. 8.

The Questions Of Insecurity In Nigeria

Insecurity in Nigeria has posed a national questions in which up till this moment no formidable answer has been provided. If Britain had failed to proffer solution to insecurity challenges in the country before independence and Nigeria rulers failed to do this after almost 53 years of independence (1960-2013), something is definitely wrong with the approach so far.
