If Clinton wins the election, it won't be by a landslide.
However, the former first lady has won Google over today.
Just look at all these searches about her...
The Dow Jones Industrial Average today is up after the FBI stated their latest email investigation of Hillary Clinton warranted no actions against her.

As expected, the U.S. Federal Reserve policymakers at this week's FOMC meeting voted to keep interest rates unchanged. Central bank rate policies and next week's U.S. presidential election are the two biggest influences on U.S. stock prices right now.
Well, the FOMC held the line on rates this week, but they're widely expected to boost borrowing costs in December – thanks to indications the long-moribund U.S. economy is finally accelerating. Indeed, Fed Chair Janet C. Yellen said back in September that strength in the job ranks and a healthy surge in inflation would give policymakers the confidence to raise rates.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, you're not alone. See, you're not supposed to know.
The fact is, we're supposed to think that central banks are our economic saviors.
But what they're actually doing, right before our very eyes, is radically changing the world we know.
And not at all for the better...
The Dow Jones Industrial Average today is climbing after positive economic news.
The U.S. Commerce Department reported Q3 GDP jumped 2.9%.
The Nasdaq is up almost 6% this year, and it hit a high of 5,340 in September. You see, the top Nasdaq stocks continue to drive the index to new highs.
Here's a look at the top Nasdaq stocks today and why they are all outperforming the markets.
