September 22, 2016 MORE POLITICS > Pre-Debate Drama What's Worrying Clinton's and Trump's Campaigns Before the First Debate While Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump prepare for their first debate on Monday, aides in both their campaigns are expressing concern over how it will all go down, ABC's CECILIA VEGA, LIZ KREUTZ and CANDACE SMITH report. The Clinton camp's biggest worry: that the Republican presidential nominee will be asked softer questions than Clinton. "My biggest concern continues to be a low bar set for him on expectations," Clinton's communications director Jennifer Palmieri told reporters during a flight to Orlando, Florida, yesterday, referring to the debate at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, on Sept. 26 — the first of three face-offs between the two White House hopefuls. http://abcn.ws/2cqEFz2 READ MORE   The Trump Campaign's Major Concern The candidate's limited preparation. While Trump has boasted that he will win Monday's debate, senior sources said he has not delved into policy or participated in mock debates. During his Sunday meetings in Bedminster, New Jersey — where he huddles with campaign chief Steve Bannon, campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, Roger Ailes and other advisers, including members of his family — the prep has become more of a discussion of topics and themes and not specific in nature. http://abcn.ws/2cqEFz2 READ MORE   Clinton Bolstered by Latest National Poll The latest national presidential poll has some encouraging news for Hillary Clinton, showing a 6-point lead over Donald Trump. Clinton received 43 percent support from the responses of likely voters in the NBC/Wall Street Journal poll compared to Trump's 37 percent. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson maintained his third position with 9 percent and Green Party nominee Jill Stein trailed with 3 percent. In a head-to-head matchup, Clinton's lead expands to 7 points over Trump, 48-41. The margin of error of the poll is 3.2 percent, reports ABC's ADAM KELSEY. http://abcn.ws/2dbSgv7 READ MORE   Analysis - ABC's Rick Klein Bringing home the Obama coalition would be easier for Hillary Clinton if they didn't have other places to stay. Clinton's weaknesses with critical demographics are well-documented, with complicated explanations. But they are being accentuated and exacerbated by the fact that Gary Johnson and Jill Stein are available as choices in the vast majority of states. The new Wall Street Journal/NBC poll finds Clinton leading among black voters over Donald Trump 76-5. That's a blowout, but President Obama garnered numbers well into the 90s; Clinton isn't coming close to that, primarily because Johnson and Stein are options. And younger voters of all races are thinking third party: Among those under 35, Johnson stands at 17 percent and Stein at 5 – nearly twice the shares of their overall support. What We're Reading -- From Russia With Trump: A Political Conflict Zone Donald Trump and his children have for years promoted themselves and their real estate opportunities in Russia and other former Soviet states, and ethics experts say if he is elected President the get-tough U.S. sanctions against Russia could be in direct conflict with his business interests, according to ABC's MATTHEW MOSK, BRIAN ROSS and PATRICK REEVELL. Trump has said he will not participate in decisions about his business if he is elected to the White House and that those decisions will be left to his children in what they have called a "blind trust." But Richard Painter, a University of Minnesota law professor who served as ethics adviser to Republican President George W. Bush, said the arrangement would not fit his definition of a blind trust, and appeared ripe for potential conflicts. "I don't see how you have a blind trust when you know what's in the blind trust," Painter told ABC News. "The appearance is that a foreign government or other foreign organization has influence over the president of the United States through financial dealings with his family and that would be unacceptable." http://abcn.ws/2d6uiRt READ MORE   Bill Clinton Calls Clinton Global Initiative 'One of the Great Honors of My Life' in Final Speech Former President Bill Clinton thumbed through the pages of a farewell address, which he had been working on moments before he addressed the Clinton Global Initiative one final time. "It's been one of the great honors of my life," Clinton said as he addressed crowd. "You are living proof that good people committed to creative cooperation have almost unlimited positive impact to help people today and give our kids better tomorrows. Now, I have spent the last 15 years of my life working to advance that idea." Clinton shied away from engaging in the politics surrounding his foundation and instead used his platform as an attempt to change the negative narrative that has been seen as a liability to his wife's presidential bid, according to ABC's MATTHEW CLAIBORNE. http://abcn.ws/2cNvQQU READ MORE   Trump Calls for 'Stop-and-Frisk' Policy As Donald Trump appeared to try and court African-American voters in Cleveland Wednesday at a town hall taped by Fox News, he expressed support for establishing the policing policy of "stop-and-frisk" on a national level. When asked by an audience member how he would stop violence in the black community, Trump responded, "I would do stop-and-frisk. I think you have to. We did it in New York, it worked incredibly well and you have to be proactive and, you know, you really help people sort of change their mind automatically." ABC's CANDACE SMITH has more: http://abcn.ws/2cn163c NOTED: On Thursday morning, in an interview with Fox and Friends, Trump sought to clarify his position. "Now Chicago is out of control. I was referring to Chicago with stop and frisk," Trump said.
