Some Trump supporters like Bill Martin said he was happy Trump is sounding a different tune. Just 27 per cent of registered voters think Trump would make a good or great president, while 55 per cent say the bellicose NY billionaire developer would be either poor or bad president, a Pew Research Center poll said on Thursday, Xinhua news agency reported.
Mr Trump named Ms Kellyanne Conway, a well-known pollster, as his campaign manager, and Breitbart News executive chairman Mr Steve Bannon as his CEO.
Facing a polling deficit against Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, Trump has tried to reset his campaign, announcing on Wednesday a shake-up of his senior campaign staff.

Fully 81 per cent of registered voters who support Trump say life has gotten worse, compared with just 11 per cent who say it has gotten better (six percent say it is about the same), it said.
“All of these politicians have been doing that for all of these years, so now he sounds a little bit more like a politician – but I guess that’s what the people want to hear”, said Tom Freeman, a 56-year-old small business owner who lives in the Charlotte area.
Conway said the more disciplined approach by Trump would not mean jettisoning the real estate developer’s more off-the-cuff and unpredictable style.
Trump also blamed some of the controversy over his missteps on the media, which has become a regular punching bag for the Republican candidate. Fifty-eight percent called them good for the USA while just 34% said they weren’t.
“I think a lot of them will be America first”.
“He’s going to give these policy speeches”, she said on CNN.
Enter the Trump voters. This spring, protesters clashed with Trump supporters in cities across the country, sometimes violently.
Trump’s TV buy is a relatively small one.
The moves are aimed in part at marginalizing campaign chairman Paul Manafort, a longtime Republican operative who pushed Trump to moderate his tone and improve relations with skeptical Republican officials. “I have done that, and believe it or not, I regret it”, he told the crowd in the battleground purple state.
