Financial guidance while youre mastering life. From chase. So you can. Financial guidance while youre mastering life. Keep on the sunny side always on the sunny side keep on the sunny side of life now to the race for the white house. In less than two months before the general election a fox news poll suggests its anyones race. In a head to head matchup Hillary Clinton and donald trump are separated by just one percentage point among likely voters. It is 46 to 45 nationwide. Now, in a fourway matchup its a slightly different result. Clinton receives 41 to trumps 40 , and libertarian gary johnson is at 8 with Green Party Candidate jill stein at 3 . Meantime the socalled birther controversy took center stage on the trail. As fox News Reporter joel waldman tells Us Donald Trump admitted there is no truth to the story that he has pushed for years now. President barack obama was born in the united states, period. Reporter donald trump putting an exclamation point on the birther controversy despite cries that trump started it. Hillary clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy. I finished it. The hot button issue reignited by rival Hillary Clinton during her return to the campaign try. Today the democratic nominee reasserting the claim from the very beginning reeked of bigotry. He is feeding into the worse impulses, the big tree and biases that lurk in our country. Reporter speaking from a black womens agenda symposium in washington clinton was just blocks away from trumps new d. C. Hotel where he countered her claim of racism but not before deck rated members of the military threw their support behind the republican nominee. The latest tension coming as a new fox news poll shows trump and clinton separated by just one point nationally with just 53 days to go before election day. Hillary clintons number one challenge and problem is in getting the democratic activist base enthused about her. Reporter president obama himself also weighing in on the controversy today saying, quote, im pretty confident where i was born. In washington, joel waldman, fox news. Joining us now to talk more is our political analyst. Joe, why would donald trump wait so long to admit the obvious . Beyond that do you think people even care about that issue when you look at terrorist attacks, our economy, real issues . Do you think people care . I think africanamerican people care. I think probably hispanic and latino people and people of color care about this very much because they found it an offensive issue to begin with. Now, the political reality is not many of those people are going to vote for donald trump anyway. Politically the calculus is not necessarily about that voting behavior. I think this is actually, frank, a response to a couple of things. First of all Colin Powells e mails showed in detail this particular issue how much colin powell found the whole birther thing offensive. He thought this was very much racist. Colin powell is a respected military figure in our history. Note that mr. Trump was surrounded by military people endorsing him. I dont think that was a coincidence. I think he is trying to distance himself from the labeling and the shellacking that colin powell gave him in those emails. Essential he wanted to end this controversy but in a sense he started a new one by falsely claiming that it was Hillary Clinton that started the whole controversy and birther debate in the first place. Why do that . Well, because this is what he does. This is his style. If he can blame somebody else he will do that. And its like what you say. Sometimes its the qif lend of a back handed compliment. Did he that to president obama, and this time to Hillary Clinton y. Did he say that . There so a story that goes back sometime to the 2008 president ial election that sydnie blumenthal who was a supporter of Hillary Clinton had made a suggestion to a reporter that made they should check into where president obama was born. Its also the case possibly in the state of iowa that a fieldworker had sent an email in saying, hey, we think weve heard this theory about the fact that he wasnt born here. Maybe we should check that out. That is the evidence of the conspiracy. Mrs. Clinton, to my knowledge, never operated on that, never promoted that, and so this is very much a false claim, but because there were a few tidbits of this, thats where he based that claim. The polls have the race nationally incredibly close. Also donald trump has taken the lead in a couple of key state, i believe ohio and florida to name two of them. What is donald trump doing differently now and what does Hillary Clinton need to do better . Well, i think the first thing that he is doing differently now is showing the discipline more often than not, not always to listen to his new Management Team and i think he is seeing results from it. He didnt pile on over the weekend when she was injured. In fact, he said nice things about how he hoped she would recover quickly. That kind of softens some of the rough edges. Theyve got him reading speeches that are meant to be read by text, not adlibbing. Those things i think are helping him to be more of a main line candidate as we head into the final weeks. The other thing thats doing real quickly though says focusing on the math. The general election polls that we always show are great to show what most voters are thinking but this will be won in 11 states that are swing states because we pretty much know how the blue states and the red states are going to go. And hes spending his money and his time and his advertising budget in those places. He is still perceived in the majority of polls to be the person more capable than Hillary Clinton of dealing with the economy which even though we talk about terrorism, the economy still trumps that issue, forgive that pun, as an issue for most voters. I think the focus on those things is whats keeping him in this race. But if you do the electoral math, Hillary Clinton is already past 270 votes if she gets the blue states shes supposed to get and of those states that are swing states, the ones that are leaning blue right now, she will get there. So he has got to win her leaning blue states, hes got to get in the decided states and win all of his own at the same time to stay in this, and thats a tall order. It still seems like its her election to lose. It is. Joe, thank you. A spare the air alert has been issued for tomorrow.
