Berlin: German President Joachim Gauck said he was worried about the prospect of Donald Trump winning the race for the White House, citing the US Republican hopeful's -"unpredictability-" as a cause for concern, according to a magazine interview published on Sunday.
-"We can't say what could be expected from a President Donald Trump,-" Gauck told Germany's Der Spiegel weekly. -"To me, and to many people in the United States and here at home, this constitutes a problem.-"
With just two days to go in a closely fought election that is being watched around the world, Gauck added: -"When I look at Washington, I am worried.-"
The German president, whose role is largely ceremonial, said he hoped -"that American democracy, which does not allow the president to act as an autocrat, that the system of checks and balances, of mutual control-" of power would be maintained.
The latest major survey, the ABC/Washington Post tracker released early Sunday, gave Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton a five- percentage point 48-43 lead over Trump. Polling averages however are closer.
