The Wall Street Journal: Clinton and Trump Fight for New Territory in the Final Stretch of Their Campaigns

Since clinching their parties&rsquo; presidential nominations, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and businessman Donald Trump have been competing for voters in traditional battleground states like Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania. But now that the election is less than a week away, both candidates are turning their attention to new territories across the U.S.

<a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2016/11/03/clinton-trump-work-to-capture-new-territory-in-campaigns-final-stretch/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=political-roundup-thursday-november-3-7352" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Wall Street Journal</a> notes that cities like Denver, Detroit, Albuquerque and Phoenix have now become popular spots on the campaign trail. Over the past few days, Trump has made stops in states that are expected to go to Clinton, like Colorado, Wisconsin, Michigan and New Mexico.

&ldquo;In eight days, we are going to win the great state of Michigan and we are going to win back the White House,&rdquo; said Trump just outside of Detroit on Monday.

Clinton is also visiting states that have traditionally voted for Republican candidates&mdash;like Arizona&mdash;in an effort to capture more votes.

&ldquo;This state is in play for the first time in years. Arizona has only voted for Democrat for president once since 1948 and that was my husband in 1996,&rdquo; Clinton said in Arizona. &nbsp;

Both Clinton and Trump are confident that they&rsquo;ll pick up new votes in areas that they previously weren&rsquo;t targeting. Trump believes that the FBI&rsquo;s new interest in Clinton gives him a competitive advantage. Clinton, on the other hand, says that data released from states that allow early voting suggests that she could pick up some unexpected support.

USA Today: The 2016 Election is Making Investors Nervous

Average American voters aren&rsquo;t the only ones stressing out about the upcoming presidential election. Investors on Wall Street are also getting nervous.

<a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/markets/2016/11/03/stocks-election-fallout-main-bar/93135724/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=political-roundup-thursday-november-3-7352" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">According to a recent article in USA Today</a>, there&rsquo;s no shortage of issues for investors to consider as election day continues to get closer. From hard-to-read polls to scandals on both sides of the aisle, the market isn&rsquo;t sure what to make of the 2016 election. That uncertainty is already visible&mdash;the Standard &amp; Poor&rsquo;s 500 stock index closed lower for the seventh day in a row on Wednesday, which marks its longest losing streak in five years.

The fear of the unknown is expected to affect Wall Street through the remainder of the campaigns. And depending on who wins the White House and the majority of the seats in Congress, it&rsquo;s unclear how the markets will react.

CNN: The Race for the White House is Tighter Than Ever as Election Day Nears

With the election just a few days away, the polls are showing that Clinton and Trump are pretty much neck-and-neck. But for now, it looks like Clinton has a slight advantage.

<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/03/politics/presidential-polls-hillary-clinton-donald-trump-election-2016/index.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=political-roundup-thursday-november-3-7352" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">CNN&rsquo;s Poll of Polls</a>, which is based on an average of the five most recent national phone polls, shows Clinton leading Trump 46 &ndash; 42 percent. CBS and the New York Times are showing Clinton with 45 percent of the vote, while Trump is at 42. And a new ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll agrees that Clinton&rsquo;s in the lead. It shows her up two percent over Trump, 47 &ndash; 45 percent.

In all of those polls, Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson and Green Party nominee Jill Stein are both hovering in the single-digits. But as election day nears, it&rsquo;s likely that the numbers will continue to shift.
