“If Donald Trump is the nominee, I would vote for Hillary Clinton”, the deputy secretary of state for President George W. Bush and assistant Defense secretary for President Ronald Reagan said.
Because of this, it was incredibly amusing to see Trump on Friday boast about a new poll conducted by Gravis Marketing that actually shows him losing to Hillary Clinton, albeit by “only” two percentage points. That’s down from a lead of 14.3 points for Clinton on Sunday, the day an American-born shooter who declared allegiance to militant group Islamic State killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida.
Trump seized on the attack to sharpen his security proposals, saying he would block immigration to the United States from any country with a “proven history of terrorism” against America and its allies if elected.
Franklin, a Marquette political science professor, said the divergence between registered and likely voters was noteworthy, particularly because only 78 percent of Republicans said they were absolutely certain they would vote in November, down from 87 percent in March and 90 percent in June 2012.
“They’re in kind of a fog”, Armitage said. She also repeated her calls for tougher gun control measures, including a ban on assault weapons.
Her margin in last month’s poll was the same, but Clinton led Trump 47 to 41 per cent in that survey, Politico reported.

The Marquette Law School Poll also found more respondents said they would describe Trump as honest than Clinton, but that Clinton was more prepared to be president.
