Kellyanne Conway, Donald Trump's campaign manager, said Tuesday night she can't believe Hillary Clinton isn't pulling away from her candidate in various battleground states given her numerous built-in "advantages."

Citing Clinton's massive fundraising lead on Trump and claiming the Democratic nominee has the media on her side, a common refrain for the Trump campaign, Conway derided Clinton on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 on Tuesday night for not being able to build a majority in swing-states where the Republican nominee has tumbled lately in the polls.


“She has so many advantages. She has endless money. She’s got a lot of the media. She has a very popular president and first lady campaigning for her," Conway said. "I will tell you, I am mystified as to why she can’t get to those 52, 53 percent numbers in some of these states given the disadvantages we’re handed every day."

Trump has seen a consistent drop in the polls both nationally and in swing states in recent weeks as controversies surrounding his attacks on women, lewd commentary and numerous cases of alleged sexual assault have rocked the campaign. Since Sept. 26 Trump has netted an average of 39.6 percent of the vote in the dozen national polls using live-telephone interviewers, lagging substantially behind Clinton's 46.2 percent in a four-way match-up.

The swing-state math has also looked increasingly grim for the GOP nominee, with Trump trailing Clinton in Colorado, Florida and Pennsylvania in recent polls, while tying the Democratic nominee in Ohio. The POLITICO weighted average for 11 identified battleground states stands at Clinton: 46.2 percent, Trump 41.5 percent.

Conway, however, says she remains confident that Trump can overcome supposed "disadvantages" and secure a victory come November.

"I don’t feel sorry for us," she said. "I just think we’re going to win this because people love a comeback story."
