NEW YORK: Smelling victory Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is looking past her rival Republican Donald Trump while widening her mission to include helping Democrats seize the Senate and chip away at the Republican-controlled House.

This was manifested as Trump’s campaign insisted on Sunday it was premature to count him out, it’s Clinton whose path to winning the White House has only grown wider in the race’s final weeks. Even longtime Re­publi­can strongholds such as Utah and Arizona suddenly appear within her reach on Nov 8, enticing Democrats to campaign hard in territory they haven’t won for decades, Chicago Tribune said.

All tracking polls are projecting Ms Clinton with a double digit lead in particular ABC news and The Wall Street Journal poll. Even in key battle ground state of Florida she leads Trump by three percentage points. Democrats are performing above their projected support.

The report said the shifting political map has freed Clinton and her well-funded campaign to spend time and money helping other Demo­crats in competitive races.
