In addition to a 900 voter base sample, oversamples of 200 Rising American Electorate voters (unmarried women, minorities and millennials) and 200 battleground state voters (AZ, FL, OH, IA, NC, NV, NH, PA, VA, WI) were included. Data shown in this deck is among all 2016 voters unless otherwise noted. Margin of error for the full sample is +/-3.27 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level. Of the 1,300 respondents, 65 percent were interviewed via cell phone in order to accurately sample the American electorate.

Hillary Clinton close debates with her mission: "I will stand up for families against special interests against” 9-1 corporations."
I have made the cause of children and families really my life's work. That's what my mission will be in the

I have made the cause of children and families really my life's work. That's what my mission will be in the presidency. I will stand up for families against powerful interests, against
good educations from preschool through college. I hope you will give me a chance to serve as your president.

I think we can all agree it’s been a long campaign but tomorrow you get to pick our next president. So here are a few things that I hope you’ll think about. First it’s not just my name and my opponent’s name on the ballot. It’s the kind of country we want for our children and grandchildren. Is America dark and divisive. Or hopeful and inclusive? Our core values are being tested in this election. But everywhere I go people are refusing to be defined by fear and division. Look we all know we have come through some hard economic times and we have seen some pretty big changes. But I believe in
them together. I want to be a president for all Americans not just those who support me in this election for everyone because we all have role to play in building a stronger fairer America. The second thing we want you to know is this I will work my heart as president to make life better for you and your
every day determined to make America safe and strong and make our economy work for every not just those at the top. And finally working for children and families has been the cause of my life but it’s never been more important than it is right but it’s never been more important that it is right now. This has to be or mission to give our kids and every American the chance to live up to their god given
CLINTON CLOSING MESSAGE
11
We've seen America turn recession into recovery. Our businesses create 15.5 million new jobs. Putting more people back to work than all the other advanced economies combined. A resurgent auto industry has led the fastest manufacturing growth since another Clinton was
to elect a 45th President who will build on our progress. Who will finish the job. Who already has the respect of leaders around the world and the people they serve. Who is smart and who is steady and who is tested. Someone who comes to this office as well-prepared as anyone who has ever run -- The next President of the United States, Hillary Clinton. And that's how I know she will work her heart out for you – for everybody still in need of a good job or a raise; for every child who needs a sturdier ladder out of poverty; for every student who needs relief from student debt; every immigrant who wants to contribute to this country they love; for every American who has not yet felt the progress of these past eight years. She will work. And she will deliver. She won’t just tweet.

Please tell me which one you agree with more, even if neither is exactly right.
We need a bold and comprehensive agenda to rewrite the rules of our economy so it works for everyone and not just the wealthy. We can make our economy work for everyone by building on our progress with incremental changes. Jobs still don't pay enough to live on and it is a struggle to save anything. The economy is starting to get to full employment and a lot of people are finding jobs that pay more.

COLLEGE: America will only have a middle class if we make college debt-free so more young people can afford their education, and we should be helping generations of Americans refinance their debt from college to a lower rate . We must lift this heavy burden of debt. FINANCIAL REFORM: We need to pass tough new rules that make our financial system work for families and small businesses. That means down-sizing "Too Big to Fail" banks, regulating shadow banking and risky financial activities that caused our financial crisis, and increasing enforcement of Wall Street crimes. RAISE INCOMES: Creating enough good-paying jobs with rising incomes is the defining challenge of our time. We must raise the minimum wage, defend
jobs, and invest in infrastructure to create millions of good paying jobs. INFRASTRUCURE INVESTMENT: In my first 100 days, we will work with both parties to pass the biggest investment in new, good-paying jobs since World War
economic growth. TAX RICH TO INVEST IN MIDDLE: I want to build an economy that works for everyone, not more trickle down economics for those at the top. The wealthiest need to pay their fair share in taxes and the middle class needs relief. I want to raise taxes on the wealthy and corporations who have seen all the income gains in recent years so we can make investments to help the middle class. CORPORATE TAXES: Corporations need to make a greater contribution to our country. The tax code rewards corporations for outsourcing jobs, and their profits overseas, instead of investing here in the United States, and we need to empower companies willing to take the high road. So we are going to crack down on the worst corporate abuses, close loopholes, and place an exit tax on corporations who try to outsource jobs or avoid their fair share of taxes. 29 EDUCATION: Every child deserves a high-quality education, regardless of their zip code. We must expand access to early childhood education, empower our teachers and invest in our schools at all levels. That means modernizing our schools, updating our curriculums for the 21st century and expanding broadband internet access. WOMEN ECON AGENDA: It's time our policies reflect how families live and work in the 21st century so women can get and keep better paying jobs. Let's ensure equal pay for women, guarantee 12 weeks of paid family leave, expand the child tax credit and make quality affordable childcare a reality. SPECIAL INTERESTS: Our democracy should work for everyone, not just the wealthy and well-connected. I will appoint Supreme Court Justices who will protect the right to vote, require outside groups to disclose their political spending so we get dark unaccountable money out of politics, and empower small donors. CLIMATE: We can tackle the urgent threat of climate change by becoming the world's clean energy superpower, creating millions of good-paying jobs in the
home by 2020.

Debt-free college, refinance student debt. Protect financial reforms and go further Raise incomes and create good paying jobs Tax the rich, invest in the middle class

REFORM CORPORATE GOVERNANCE: It's time for corporations and CEOs to prioritize long term investments in workers and their companies over short-term gains and speculation. Let's end the practice of tying CEO pay to stock prices so corporations make decisions that encourage long-term growth over short-term personal gain. And let's limit the right of executives to use profits to buy back stock, which only benefits wealthy shareholders. FOSTER BETTER MARKETS: Large corporations have too much power which means less competition, higher prices, lower quality services, lower wages and less innovation. We need regulators who enforce antitrust law and address corporate abuses, lets revise merger guidelines to ensure competition and protect consumers and families, and create a new antitrust law so corporate mergers work for all Americans and consumers. LARGE SCALE PUBLIC INVESTMENT: It's time to make transformational public investments in our nation's infrastructure to fuel economic growth, put Americans to work, and meet the challenges of a 21st century economy. Let's not stop with updating our roads and bridges. Investing in high-speed rail, universal broadband, and a carbon- reducing power grid will level the economic playing field while growing our economy in the long term.
32
INVEST IN UNDER-SERVEDCOMMUNITIES: Every community needs investments in infrastructure to fuel growth and shared prosperity, but we should prioritize and target investments in communities that need it the most. Targeted investments in communities of color and rural communities that have historically been excluded can help create jobs and the vibrant communities that every American deserves. REFORM TRADE: I will not support TPP or any trade deal that prioritizes corporate interests over American families. I will appoint a commission to reform our trade policies to serve the common good and will ramp up enforcement
