A of new polling released late Wednesday night paints a grim picture for Donald Trump’s electoral chances in November, as he now trails Hillary Clinton by double digits in a national survey, as well as three states key to his shot at victory in the fall. “He should stick to his stronger, more secure and more prosperous America message”.

When asked whether Trump is fit to be president, 63 percent responded no. For Clinton, 46 percent of respondents had the same answer.
Ms. Clinton leads in northeast Pennsylvania, but her strengths are, as expected, in the suburban areas of the state’s southeast and in Philadelphia.
However, the poll also shows both candidates still have high unfavorable ratings among Pennsylvania voters: 62 percent dislike Trump and 49 percent dislike Clinton.
The poll surveyed 661 registered voters in the state: 321 Democrats, 257 Republicans and 83 Independents.
The findings were further backed up by the high percentage of people supporting either candidate who said they do not talk about the increasingly contentious election with people who don’t share their views.
The other battleground poll released Thursday morning, conducted by WBUR in New Hampshire, found arguably the worst results for Trump. This one was conducted by telephone between July 31 and August 2. Forty percent of those who watched the Republican convention said it made them more likely to vote for Trump.

The gathering acted as a political trampoline for Ms. Clinton, who appeared to benefit from her event more than Mr. Trump did from the GOP convention, July 18 to 21 in Cleveland. McGinty’s lead is larger among registered voters at 38%-30%. Additionally, more black Clinton supporters than white supporters said they had “a lot” of close friends who also supported Clinton, 59% to 33%.
