If Donald Trump wins, it will be a seismic event.

There was another Cleveland rally [of Hillary Clinton] - this one with LeBron James.

Romney still enjoys the Republicans' traditional advantage among voters who are veterans, but the Obama campaign is confident it can chip away at that.

In 2012, Hispanics were 10 percent of the electorate, underperforming their share of the voting-age population. Mitt Romney got 21 percent of their vote, and [Donald] Trump has been polling much lower than that.
Mara Liasson
Does Donald Trump accept the results and concede graciously, pursue legal action, or tell his followers to take to the streets?
Mara Liasson
White voters were 72 percent of the electorate in 2012, and their share of the population has shrunk a couple points since then. [Donald] Trump has had trouble winning certain segments of the white vote, such as suburban women and college-educated voters.
Mara Liasson
Republican candidates have won whites with college degrees in every presidential election since polling began.
