Dems fret over Trump bounce

“It shouldn’t be this close. I don’t think there’s any question that the closeness of this race is cause for everybody to concern himself and recommit themselves to this campaign,” Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) said Monday afternoon…

Senate Democrats expressed their jitters over polling data during a meeting with Clinton at the Capitol earlier this month where some lawmakers “freaked out,” according to a Democratic senator who attended.

What’s rattling Democrats this week is evidence that voters are responding to what Clinton last week called “a dark picture of an America in decline” painted by Trump.

“A large number of us this morning were talking about things we thought were long gone out of the hearts for Americans,” Cleaver said.
