Donald Trump has been slipping significantly in the polls after the Republican National Convention, with polls showing him behind in every swing state.
And even when they are included in recent polls, Clinton’s lead over Trump remains daunting.
In a pure head-to-head contest, Trump leads Clinton in Texas by a 50-44 percent margin, according to the PPP poll.
Perdue, who enthusiastically endorsed Trump in June, said he struggles with the NY businessman’s choice of words, such as his feud with the family of a slain U.S. Muslim soldier or his assertion that President Barack Obama is the founder of the Islamic State terror group.

“When he makes those comments he sends a message to Americans and people around the world that discrimination is allowed”, said Sanchez. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson picks up 6 percent of the vote in Texas while Green Party candidate Jill Stein received 2 percent support. Sixty-five percent of respondents said they view the GOP candidate unfavorably, with 32 percent viewing him favorably.
“A vote for anyone other than Donald Trump is de facto a vote for Hillary Clinton”.
As president, Trump said he would encourage immigrants to assimilate and urge parents, teachers and others to promote “American culture”.
Mrs Clinton said at the voter registration event at a Philadelphia high school that she is “not taking anybody anywhere for granted” in the race for the White House, saying the stakes “could not be higher”. Marco Rubio leads his two Democratic challengers.
The August 11-15 polls surveyed a sample of 1132 and 1131 likely voters, respectively, and had a credibility interval of three percentage points.
In voters 45 years and younger, Clinton leads Trump 60-35.
