On Wednesday Clinton is scheduled to hit the ground in North Carolina while Trump is planning to make a major speech in New York.

"I think I'm going to do well. I think you see that," Trump told Lou Dobbs of the Fox Business News in an interview late Tuesday night.
"I have been brutalised by the press for three weeks, and she has had the best week she's ever had, and there's very little difference in the polls," he asserted, adding that he would recreate the primary magic.
"You saw what happened in the primaries, how so many people more voted than they did, as you know, four years ago. I think we're going to do very well. I think it's going to be a big, beautiful surprise," he said.

"That probably started today because, people thought that she would have had a much bigger margin. The margin is very tight. And in Ohio, it's even, and in Pennsylvania, it's even. We are doing great in Florida. Nationwide, we're doing very well against her. So I think we're going to do very well," Trump asserted.
