The contentiousness of the presidential election is spilling into some workplaces. And even when there’s no rancor, more time is spent on election chatter than in the past. Rather than try to control what people are saying, owners should focus on whether the work is getting done in an atmosphere that’s not hostile. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, File)
Hillary Clinton is flatlining in the polls even though voters think she won the second debate – and despite the Republican Party´s meltdown following the release of Trump´s video.
Clinton captures 42 per cent of the vote to Trump´s 37 per cent, according to a Politico/Morning Consult poll conducted the day after the debate, published yesterday.. Libertarian Gary Johnson gets 10 per cent and the Green Party´s Jill Stein gets 3. Meanwhile the latest Reuters/Ipsos survey has Trump trailing Clinton by eight-points. In a similar poll taken last week, Clinton led by just five percentage points. Of those polled, 53-percent believed Clinton won the debate.
