On the financial disclosure forms that Donald J. Trump has pointed to as proof of his tremendous success, no venture looks more gold-plated than his golf resort in Doral, Fla., where he reported revenues of $50 million in 2014. That figure accounted for the biggest share of what he described as his income for the year.

But this summer, a considerably different picture emerged in an austere government hearing room in Miami, where Mr. Trump's company was challenging the resort's property tax bill.

Mr. Trump's lawyer handed the magistrate an income and expense statement showing that the gross revenue had indeed been $50 million. But after paying operating costs, the resort had actually lost $2.4 million.

Mr. Trump has repeatedly held out his financial disclosures as a justification for breaking with tradition and refusing to release his personal tax returns. "You don't learn that much from tax returns," he said in September during his first debate with Hillary Clinton. "You learn a lot from financial disclosure. And you should go down and take a look at that."

But an examination of his tax appeals on several properties, and other documents obtained by The New York Times through Freedom of Information requests, shows that what Mr. Trump has reported on those forms is nowhere near a complete picture of his financial state.

The records demonstrate that large portions of those numbers represent cash coming into his businesses before covering costs like mortgage payments, payroll and maintenance. After expenses, some of his businesses make a small fraction of what he reported on his disclosure forms, or actually lose money. In fact, it is virtually impossible to determine from the forms just how much he is earning in any year.

Mr. Trump appears to have used a provision in federal ethics laws that allows business owners to list gross revenue, as opposed to net income after expenses, on their disclosure forms. But he does not seem to have completely acknowledged that choice. Rather, he has suggested that the figures on the form represent money in his pocket.

In news releases, the Trump campaign said that "Mr. Trump's income" listed in a disclosure form filed last year was $362 million, and was more than $557 million in a form filed this year. During the debate with Mrs. Clinton in September, he mentioned an even larger figure.

"It shows income ... in fact, the income - I just looked today - the income is filed at $694 million for this past year, $694 million," Mr. Trump said. "If you would have told me I was going to make that 15 or 20 years ago, I would have been very surprised."

A spokeswoman for Mr. Trump, Hope Hicks, declined to answer questions about how Mr. Trump had reported his income, saying only that his disclosure form "speaks for itself."

Another seeming cash cow, at least as far as the forms portray it, is 40 Wall Street, an office building Mr. Trump has spoken of as perhaps the greatest bargain he ever struck. "I make approximately $20 million a year in rentals from 40 Wall Street and the building is now worth $500 million," Mr. Trump wrote in "Trump Never Give Up," published in 2008. "So, aside from owning the most beautiful building in Lower Manhattan, I have the added attraction of making a profit."

On his financial disclosure forms, Mr. Trump listed the income he derived from rents in the building in the highest category on the form - more than $5 million. (The form requires listing monetary ranges for most types of income, and precise dollar figures where the gross revenue of a business is provided.)

But the income and expense statement that he filed with the New York City Tax Commission to appeal his property taxes shows that after mortgage payments and other costs, the building produced a cash flow of about $104,000 in 2014. Over the previous three years, it had generated a negative cash flow of $5.5 million, as the fallout of the 2008 financial crisis took a toll on downtown office buildings.

Last year, the building rebounded and turned a significant profit: Occupancy rose to 95 percent, according to securities filings. The building's cash flow after expenses was just under $3 million, still well below the more than $5 million that Mr. Trump reported on his disclosure forms. The building also paid the Trump Organization $966,000 last year in management fees.

Joel Rosenfeld, a real estate accountant and New York University professor who reviewed some of the filings at The Times's request, said Mr. Trump's narrow margins at 40 Wall Street before last year raised questions about the building's long-term prospects. "He may have turned the corner," Mr. Rosenfeld said.

The recent negative cash flow at two of Mr. Trump's premier properties raises possible motivations he may have for not releasing his tax returns: They could show that his success is not as he has claimed, or that he pays little or nothing in federal taxes. That could be a continuation of a long trend. An article last month in The Times revealed that Mr. Trump's 1995 tax records showed a $916 million loss that could have allowed Mr. Trump to legally avoid paying federal income taxes for up to 18 years.

While the property tax appeals are a useful reality check on individual properties, they provide an imperfect window to Mr. Trump's overall income and wealth.

The income and expense statements in such appeals are not available on every Trump property for every year. Also, the performance of a few properties cannot reflect the entirety of Mr. Trump's endeavors, which have included the successful "Apprentice" reality television series as well as naming rights and management fees he earns from buildings in New York and elsewhere. And the nine-figure numbers Mr. Trump presents as his income do not include streams like royalties, investments and capital gains.

But the appeals show a level of detail absent in other documents that have become public. While appeals on residential properties are based on appraisals that have a level of subjectivity, commercial appeals typically start with the amount of income a business makes after expenses. The appeals filed in New York include figures that were certified by a public accountant and sworn to by Mr. Trump, under penalty of prosecution if he intentionally misstated them. They were supported by rent rolls and other documentation.

At the Trump International Hotel and Tower, on Columbus Circle in Manhattan, Mr. Trump owns a parking garage and the restaurant space occupied by Jean Georges. On his disclosure forms, Mr. Trump listed his income from the garage and the restaurant space as between $1 million and $5 million. On the income and expense statements he filed in a property tax appeal for 2015, he showed gross income of $1.6 million on the spaces. But after he paid operating expenses and mortgage payments, only $43,000 was left for the year. His company did collect a $50,000 management fee on the two spaces.

At some of Mr. Trump's properties, the cash generated is closer to, or matches, what showed up on his financial disclosure forms. For example, at the first apartment building he developed in Manhattan, Trump Tower, the 18 floors of office and retail spaces that a Trump entity owns produced positive cash flow of $13 million in 2015, even after mortgage payments. That would match the claim on his financial disclosure form of making more than $5 million on the spaces.

But time and again, what the form presented as income did not match what was reported in other documents. Mr. Trump also runs several publicly owned attractions - the carousel and ice rinks in Central Park and a golf course in the Bronx - under agreements with New York City.

Mr. Trump's disclosure forms reported income from the Wollman and Lasker ice rinks of just under $13 million last year, and $8.6 million the year before. But accounting figures provided by his company to the city show that those figures represent gross receipts. And city contract documents show that out of that amount, he had to turn over to the city 28 percent of gross receipts and 56 percent of food sales, and cover expenses like utility payments and salaries. Recent figures were not available, but a 2011 city audit showed that for the previous three years, an average of $25,340 a year for both rinks was left after expenses.

On the disclosure form he filed this year, which apparently covered 2015 and part of 2016, more than half of Mr. Trump's claimed income was generated by his golf resorts. As an industry, privately owned golf resorts lost 2 cents for every dollar in revenue for the year that ended in September, and that was the industry's best year since the 2008 recession, according to Sageworks, a financial information company.

In recent years, Mr. Trump has made major investments in golf resorts. He bought the Doral golf resort near Miami in 2012 for $150 million, of which $104 million represented the real estate for property tax purposes.

After the appeal of his property taxes was heard in June, the special magistrate, Leonardo Delgado, lowered the resort's property taxes by $46,534.

At one point during the hearing, Mr. Delgado stared at the income and expense report showing that Doral had lost $2.4 million in 2014, a number that did not even include millions of dollars in mortgage payments. Mr. Delgado began to chuckle and turned to the county property assessor, Murry Harris.

"So he spent $104 million to lose two and a half million dollars a year," Mr. Delgado said. "I know how to lose that money without having to spend $104 million. How 'bout you, Murry?"

After weeks of Mr. Trump's accusations that the election is "rigged," a little more than six in 10 of his supporters say they will accept the results as legitimate if he loses. More than a quarter of Mr. Trump's supporters say they will probably not accept the outcome if Mrs. Clinton is declared the winner, and nearly 40 percent of them say they have little or no confidence that Americans' votes will be counted properly.

Republican anger is directed not only at Mrs. Clinton or the electoral process. About as many Republican voters say Mr. Trump's candidacy has been bad for the party as believe his campaign has been positive for Republicans, an extraordinary divide over their own standard-bearer on the eve of the election.

As Republicans face the possibility of their third consecutive presidential loss, their own voters overwhelmingly acknowledge the party is facing a schism: 85 percent of Republican voters said the party was divided, and only 14 percent said it was united.

But Republicans cannot even agree on who is to blame for the division, though they largely believe Mr. Trump has been the impetus for the breach, according to some follow-up interviews.

"I think Donald Trump has definitely divided the party," said Sheila Wagner, 79, a Republican from Redmond, Wash. She said she had already marked her ballot for Mrs. Clinton, adding: "When he first declared he was going to run, I thought it was a joke. I just couldn't believe anyone would favor him."

Yet other Republicans point the finger at Republicans who have refused to support Mr. Trump.

"The old school, quote unquote, the Bushes, the people who have been around a long time, aren't supporting Trump, and that's creating division," said Nora Reinhardt, 66, a farmer from Holt, Mo. "Some Republicans, because of comments Trump has made, which I grant are uncouth and certainly not politically correct, have found they can't support him, although I think some of those people are coming around at this point."

She said she was supporting Mr. Trump because she agreed with his policy positions.

Whatever their reasons, and despite how many of them think Mr. Trump has been detrimental to the party, more than eight in 10 Republican voters are falling in line behind their nominee.

The nationwide telephone poll was conducted with 1,333 registered voters from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1 on cellphones and landlines. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus three percentage points for all voters.

More than 22 million Americans had already cast their ballots when the poll was taken, and roughly one in five likely voters who participated said they had already voted.

National polling averages showed a growing lead for Mrs. Clinton in mid-October after the release of the "Access Hollywood" recording from 2005 in which Mr. Trump spoke crudely about women. As women from his past came out over the next weeks to accuse him of groping and forcibly kissing them, his poll numbers dipped.

Yet after a rough few weeks, enthusiasm among Mr. Trump's supporters has rebounded: 52 percent now say they are very enthusiastic about voting. Enthusiasm among Mrs. Clinton's supporters has been flat since September: 47 percent say they are very enthusiastic to vote.

Mrs. Clinton holds a 14-point advantage over her opponent among women, while Mr. Trump leads among men by 11 points. White women, who supported Republican candidates in the last three presidential elections, are now evenly split.

There is also a wide class divide: Mrs. Clinton has the support of 48 percent of whites with college degrees - a constituency that historically votes for a Republican presidential nominee - while Mr. Trump is backed by 41 percent from the same voters. But Mr. Trump receives 55 percent from whites without college degrees, while Mrs. Clinton captures just 30 percent from that group.

Majorities of voters say that Mr. Trump is not qualified to be president and that he lacks the temperament to serve in that office.

Last Friday, when the director of the F.B.I., James B. Comey, sent a letter to Congress about a renewed inquiry concerning Mrs. Clinton's emails, Mr. Trump seized on the chance to shift campaign's tenor and focus on the controversy over her handling of emails when she was secretary of state.

The Times/CBS poll began hours after Mr. Comey's letter became public. Most voters who were contacted said they had heard about the development. More voters said they were aware of accusations that Mr. Trump had made unwanted sexual advances toward several women.

Yet about six in 10 voters over all said the 11th-hour disclosures about each candidate would make no real difference in their votes. However, more people said the allegations about Mr. Trump were likely to negatively affect their votes than those who said the new email developments would discourage them from voting for Mrs. Clinton.

Four in 10 likely voters said Mr. Trump's behavior toward women made them less likely to support him while fewer, one-third, said the newest development in the F.B.I. investigation into Mrs. Clinton's emails had that effect.

Also bolstering Mrs. Clinton, and the possibility of a third straight Democratic term in the White House, is President Obama's popularity. Fifty-two percent of registered voters approve of the job Mr. Obama is doing, an increase from earlier this year.

While Mr. Obama's standing has increased, the campaign has taken a toll on Mrs. Clinton's image. Only 32 percent of voters say she is honest and trustworthy, and a quarter of Democrats and nearly six in 10 independents do not think she will be able to unite the country if she wins.

"The campaign has gotten uglier and uglier," said Michael Pappas, a real estate broker in Knoxville, Tenn., who is a Republican. "It's been about mudslinging and attacking personalities instead of talking about issues, talking about how we can help our country move forward and succeed."

Donald Trump is just on a ROLL here this week. He's been going around insulting the Khans and god knows who else and generally tantrumming all over the internets because no one else on the entire planet seems to think that is a normal thing to do. Also, on Saturday, he got stuck in an elevator for 30 minutes with 10 other people in Colorado Springs, right before he had to go to one of his rallies!

I know what you are thinking, and NO, he did not get stuck in an elevator with a pregnant woman going into labor and then had to deliver a baby. Which is probably a good thing, since unlike Zach Morris or Brendan Walsh or Cherie from Punky Brewster or Vinnie Barbarino, it's unlikely he would be able to step up in such a scenario, given his intense phobia of female bodily functions. Probably, as in most other situations, he would have reacted pretty much just like Archie Bunker did.

He just got regular stuck in an elevator! And then the Colorado Springs firefighters came in and rescued him and got him out of the elevator and then he got to go to the big rally after all and give his big speech!

And what did he do in that speech? Did he thank the firefighters who rescued him? Did he express gratitude for not having had to deliver a baby while stuck in there?

HAHAHAHAHAHA. No, he did not. Don't be silly. He instead took that time to talk about how Fire Marshal Brett Lacey - who had recently been honored by the city as "Civilian of the Year" for having helped with the wounded during the 2015 Planned Parenthood shooting - just didn't know what he was doing, because he didn't let more people into the building than allowed by the fire code after the organizers sold more tickets to the rally than there were people allowed in that building! Probably he didn't want to let more people in because he was a Democrat, Trump said, and not because he was concerned for their safety! NICE!

Lacey responded to this by saying:

"There's an old adage that when a fire marshal walks into a room, milk curdles. So because we're always looking out for public safety and trying to make certain venues go off successfully and safely sometimes there are people that aren't very happy with some of the rules and regulations we're required to enforce. But it doesn't bother me at all."

Really? Is that an old adage? Really? That is a terrible old adage. Because I, for one, am SUPER OK with all those rules and regulations and can think of much better reasons for milk to curdle around Donald Trump! I love those rules and regulations! Those rules and regulations are the best! As are the Fire Marshals who enforce them! Love those guys and gals! You know, because DYING IN A FIRE does not seem like a good time. In fact, it seems like the worst time possible. Also, being that I am not Donald Trump, as much as I don't like him, I do not want him to die in a fire. Not literally anyway. Just with votes!

Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper criticized Trump for going after Lacey in a tweet, and demanded an apology:

HAHAHAHA. Donald Trump will not be apologizing for that. What? He is going to apologize to a FIRE MARSHAL for obviously engaging in a democratic conspiracy to not let him die in a fire? Probably Hickenlooper was behind this the whole time! And Hillary Clinton! And the firefighting industrial complex!

Robyn Pennacchia is a brilliant, fabulously talented and visually stunning angel of a human being, who shrugged off what she is pretty sure would have been a Tony Award-winning career in musical theater in order to write about politics on the internet. Also, she is very modest and truthful always. And she lives in Chicago.

Bernard Sanders may have won the hearts and minds of young progressives in Iowa and New Hampshire, but he's likely to hit a wall in Nevada, which holds the next Democratic nominating contest, among voters whose diversity and pragmatism are likely to resist the insurgent's call to revolution.

With Latinos playing a large role, and a Democratic electorate that has a wider ideological range, Mr. Sanders will have to stretch his message to try to reach the party faithful in the Feb. 20 caucuses.

"The knock on Bernie is he appeals to the more elite, liberal wing of the party," said Eric Herzik, the political science department chair at the University of Nevada, Reno. "Nevada is the first state where he's going to compete where there's a significant minority voting group in Latinos. The Democratic Party here is diverse economically and ideologically. You have fewer real liberal Democrats, so that's going to be a tougher mix for Sanders to deal with."

According to entrance polls in Iowa, Mrs. Clinton won 58 percent of the votes from people with a high school education or less, compared with Mr. Sanders' 39 percent. She also won by a 35 point margin those who self-identify their ideology as "moderate," and lost by a 19 point margin those who identified as "very liberal." Iowa, like New Hampshire's electorate, is overwhelmingly white.

That's not the case with Nevada, where racial or ethnic minorities are expected to make up nearly 40 percent of the electorate, and more than half of them are Hispanic. Fifty-two percent of registered Latino voters in the state are Democrats.

Mrs. Clinton 's campaign is counting on Mr. Sanders to stumble once the primary calendar gets beyond the heavily white and liberal voters in the first two states.
SEE ALSO: Bernie Sanders adds momentum with New Hampshire primary win
According to an internal memo obtained by ABC News before the New Hampshire primary and written by Robby Mook, Mrs. Clinton 's campaign manager, Mr. Sanders' strength in the early primary states was a direct result of demographics, which are not representative of the entire country.

"The voters of New Hampshire have a history of supporting candidates from New England. So it's not surprising that Sanders maintains [a] double-digits lead in the polls there," Mr. Mook wrote. "After New Hampshire, the races become considerably more challenging for Bernie Sanders as the contest moves to Nevada and South Carolina, states with electorates that strongly favor Hillary."

Mr. Sanders' repeated attacks against Mrs. Clinton 's progressive credentials don't seem to mean much to Silver State voters.

"The art of democracy is the art of compromise, and politics is the art of what's possible, and that's what Hillary is saying," said Janice Flanagan, a longtime political activist with the Democratic Party of Washoe County in Nevada.

Mr. Sanders has at many times come across as "holier than thou" with his messaging, making "perfect" the enemy of "good," she said.

"Bernie's been in Congress for more than 20 years, and people think he's a political newcomer. Do you know why they think that? Because he hasn't achieved anything," said Ms. Flanagan, who will be caucusing for Mrs. Clinton.

Kimi Cole, a transgender activist and party leader in Minden, Nevada, is also supporting Mrs. Clinton.

"She won me over when she was first lady in the White House. I like her positions, think she's always been a fighter for the common person, and she has learned and evolved and embraced changing times. She's very progressive," Ms. Cole said.

Mr. Sanders' attacks on Mrs. Clinton 's liberal credentials fell on deaf ears with Ms. Cole.

"That argument doesn't sway me. It's a dangerous way to look at it: 'Look at me, I'm more progressive.' What does that really mean? What are the presumptions and opinions that go along with it?" Ms. Cole said. "I want to know what the candidates' issues are, what their policy positions are. I don't rely on catchwords."

Mr. Sanders' team acknowledges they're the underdog in both Nevada and South Carolina. His campaign is trying to build an operation to shore up the Latino vote. This month Mr. Sanders received an endorsement from former assemblywoman and Latina Lucy Flores, who is currently running for Congress.

"There's an immense amount of momentum out there in the Latino community as well for Bernie Sanders, and I just think he presents a different type of vision and a different kind of perspective," Ms. Flores told the CBS station in Las Vegas this month.

Mr. Sanders faces some structural challenges in Nevada's caucuses, including the time. Where Iowa's caucuses began at 7 p.m. on a Monday, Nevada Democrats gather at 11 a.m. on a Saturday - not a great time for a campaign hoping to maximize youth voter turnout. Mr. Sanders won the youth vote by a 70 percent margin in Iowa.

In addition, Mrs. Clinton started organizing her ground game in April, whereas Mr. Sanders just put his team together late last year, according to Mr. Herzik. And Mrs. Clinton won the Nevada caucuses in 2008, with Mr. Mook heading her ground game that year.

"I think there will be a good turnout. I don't expect the youth just to sit on their hands, but that is Sanders' challenge. He has to depend on self-starters, where the Clinton people have been reaching out, making the contacts and pushing people to the caucus," said Mr. Herzik.

Mr. Sanders' campaign remains optimistic.

"We've had people in Nevada on the ground for months and months now, and it's no secret that Hillary Clinton has outspent us in the state," said Rania Batrice, a Sanders spokeswoman. "Not only do we have great staff, but we have passionate volunteers in Nevada and other states as well. We're not taking anything for granted. We're very committed and believe in Bernie and the message he's been delivering."
