What makes the polls especially damaging to Donald Trump is that his primary campaign was built nearly entirely upon bluster.

When asked if it was appropriate for him to claim that a militant group that targets Americans was founded by a sitting USA president, Trump said “absolutely”. Trump, 70, said. “Are people complaining that I said he was the founder of ISIS?”. In Trump’s version of events, the administration pulled US troops out of Iraq and then neglected to “keep to oil”. “He was the founder”.
He then added: “He is the founder of ISIS”.
Donald Trump accused President Barack Obama on Wednesday of founding the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group (ISIL, also known as ISIS) that is wreaking havoc from the Middle East to European cities.
Clinton’s response had many thinking she was encouraging the assassination of Barack Obama.
He was the founder of ISIS and so was she.
Michael McFaul, a former ambassador to Russia under Obama, said on Twitter that Trump’s remarks were similar to Russian propaganda on Islamic State’s origins.
“It goes without saying that this is a false claim from a presidential candidate with an aversion to the truth and an unprecedented lack of knowledge”, Hillary for America senior policy adviser Jake Sullivan said. An average of polls by RealClearPolitics has Clinton 7.7 percentage points ahead, at 48 per cent to his 40.3 per cent.
While Trump remains around 40% in national polling, Obama’s approval rating was at 54% after the Democratic convention, according to CNN polling. “You meant that he created the vacuum, he lost the peace”, Hewitt said, obviously stirring Trump in a direction that would make his statement seem less insane. “He is the founder of ISIS”. “I gave her co-founder if you really looked at this speech”, he said on CNBC this morning. The president’s middle name is often highlighted by conservatives in an effort to call Obama a Muslim sympathizer.
Mr Trump also hit out at Mrs Clinton on Wednesday for allowing Seddique Mateen, the father of the Orlando gay nightclub shooter, into her Monday rally in Florida. “Although the Second Amendment people – maybe there is, I don’t know”.

The controversy became such, that on 2011, the White House released Obama’s birth certificate, confirming that the current president was born in Hawaii as he has always stated. The Associated Press and some media organizations refer to the group as the Islamic State, while Arabic speakers and some European leaders know it by the acronym “Daesh”.
