Trump was touting a Reuters poll...I go look it up and it shows Clinton up 6 in a 4 way race. huh?

edit: I look and the graphic they made up says GENERAL ELECTION and then "arizona" lower...so he's only winning Arizona by 2?!?!?!

McGinty only 71-21 for dems (toomey 87-9), and losing women and whites with college degrees look very suspicious.

Whites with college degrees have voted Republican since the dawn of time until like last week. Toomey should be winning them. Trump is losing with them in the same poll.

WASHINGTON — The F.B.I. secretly arrested a former National Security Agency contractor in August and, according to law enforcement officials, is investigating whether he stole and disclosed highly classified computer code developed by the agency to hack into the networks of foreign governments.

The arrest raises the embarrassing prospect that for the second time in three years, a contractor for the consulting company Booz Allen Hamilton managed to steal highly damaging secret information while working for the N.S.A. In 2013, Edward J. Snowden, who was also a Booz Allen contractor, took a vast trove of documents from the agency that were later passed to journalists, exposing surveillance programs in the United States and abroad.

According to court documents, the F.B.I. discovered thousands of pages of documents and dozens of computers or other electronic devices at his home and in his car, a large amount of it classified. The digital media contained “many terabytes of information,” according to the documents. They also discovered classified documents that had been posted online, including computer code, officials said. Some of the documents were produced in 2014.

But more than a month later, the authorities cannot say with certainty whether Mr. Martin leaked the information, passed them on to a third party or whether he simply downloaded them.

When F.B.I. agents interviewed Mr. Martin after the raid, he initially denied having taken the documents and digital files, according to the complaint. But he later told the authorities that he knew he was not authorized to have the materials. He told the agents, according to the complaint, that “he knew what he had done was wrong and that he should not have done it because he knew it was unauthorized.”

Another administration official said that investigators suspected that Mr. Martin began taking the material before Mr. Snowden’s actions became public, adding that reforms put into place after Mr. Snowden’s theft would not have stopped Mr. Martin.

Mr. Martin is suspected of taking the highly classified computer code developed by the agency to break into computer systems of adversaries like Russia, China, Iran and North Korea, some of it outdated.

Several officials said that at the moment it did not look like a traditional espionage case, but the F.B.I. has not ruled anything out.

OPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Cash-strapped Kansas would drop monthly reporting on the state's finances that has created political problems for Republican Gov. Sam Brownback's allies under a proposal outlined Tuesday by a task force he appointed.

The task force included the proposal among its recommendations for improving the accuracy of the state's twice-a-year forecasts for how much money it expects to take in. No longer would monthly reports compare tax collections with projections. Instead, they would compare that month's revenue with the same month in the previous year.

Kansas has struggled to meet revenue targets and balance its budget since GOP legislators slashed personal income taxes in 2012 and 2013 at Brownback's urging as an economic stimulus. Tax collections were nearly $45 million less than anticipated in September and fell short of expectations for 32 of the 45 months — 71 percent of the time — since the first tax cuts took effect.

For at least several decades, monthly comparisons of tax collections against projections have indicated how the state's budget is faring. But the term-limited governor's fiscal policies are a major issue in legislative races, and the reports have been a regular dose of bad news ahead of the November election.
