Trump Says He's Winning, Polls Say Otherwise

WASHINGTON, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 25th Oct, 2016 ) : Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump launched their two-week scramble to the finish line of the US presidential race Monday, with the billionaire Republican dismissing the polls to insist he's "winning" the race.

"This is bigger than Brexit, what's going on," the 70-year-old Trump told a rowdy rally in Florida, referring to Britain's shock June vote to leave the European Union. The Democrat Clinton, 68, sought to cement her lead over her White House foe by conquering swing states including Florida, North Carolina and Ohio where early voting has already begun, as the rivals blitz crucial battlegrounds where the race will be won or lost November 8.

Trump, who faces an increasingly narrow path to victory amid damning revelations about his treatment of women, and his claim that the US election system is "rigged," continued to assure his supporters that the polls were unfairly tilted towards Clinton and that he would prevail.

"We're winning, not only Florida, but we're going to win the whole thing," Trump said in St. Augustine, telling supporters: "I am your voice." Trump reiterated his unsubstantiated claims of vote rigging, and refused to back off from his incendiary threat not to accept the results of the election if he loses.

He also gave a nod to the early voting system in Florida, urging his supporters to "leave here and vote!"
