I’m still the most popular: Trump

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2018 DONALD Trump declared his support is at the same levels as 2016 as he began his last days campaigning ahead of midterm elections that will decide whether Republicans continue to hold Congress.

Bolstered by a booming economy, solid personal polling and heightened tension over immigration, President Trump stopped in two vital states last night ahead of a further three stops on Monday (local time).

Mr Trump travelled in Air Force One to Georgia, where Democrat Stacey Abrams is in a toss-up with Republican candidate Brian Kemp and could become the first black female governor of an American state.

He later visited Tallahassee in support of Republican Marsha Blackburn, who is leading former Democratic Governor Phil Bredesen by eight points in the Tennessee Senate race.

While there he urged Republicans to vote to ensure his agenda could continue.

“The Democrats want to turn back the clock, throw America in reverse and return power to a corrupt, selfish ruling class that only looks out for themselves. You see it happening, but we stop it,” Mr Trump said. “Our opponents are stuck in the past, while we are rebuilding and going into America’s great future.”

He will visit Ohio, Indiana and Montana on Monday, local time, ending a barnstorming schedule that has taken him to 11 rallies across eight states over the past six days.

“I have never seen such an enthusiastic Republican Party,” Mr Trump said.

“The level of fervour, the level of fever is very strong on the Republican side.”

Mr Trump’s campaign has sharpened its focus on the Senate in an effort to bolster the GOP’s one-seat majority.

Polls unanimously point to Democrats taking the House DONALD TRUMP
