Trump will get another chance to reset his campaign on Monday when he is expected to lay out his plan for defeating what running mate Mike Pence on Sunday called, “radical Islamic terrorism” with “real specifics” on how to make the United States safer. Expanding on what was already a sizeable margin, Clinton now holds a 30-point lead over Donald Trump, 57 to 27 percent, in a two-way matchup, according to the Sienna poll.
Still, he directly blamed the president and Clinton, who served as Obama’s secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, for backing policies that “unleashed” the group, including withdrawing USA troops from Iraq in late 2011.
Clinton also beats Trump, by a huge margin, in areas like “has the personality and temperament to serve effectively as president”.
“My administration will pursue joint and coalition military operations to crush and destroy ISIS, worldwide cooperation to cut off their funding, expanded intelligence sharing and cyber warfare to disrupt and disable their propaganda, and their recruiting”, Trump said. The Clinton campaign said it was evidence of “more troubling connections between Donald Trump’s team and pro-Kremlin elements in Ukraine”. In this case, the poll has a credibility interval of +/- 3.1 percentage points.
Census Bureau data released in April estimated the number of Millennials in the United States at 75.4 million, surpassing the 74.9 million members of the aging Baby Boom generation, now 51-69.
According to the poll, the GOP candidate is on his way to being the least popular among young voters in USA modern history.
According to the poll, Trump’s support among young voters was even lower than the estimated 32 per cent of support Richard Nixon received among 18years-to-29-year old voters in 1972 amid widespread protest against the Vietnam War.
“In the new survey, half of those under 35 say they identify with or lean toward the Democrats; just 20 percent identify with or lean toward the Republicans”. This is despite the fact that the poll found that Clinton hasn’t generated the level of enthusiasm among young voters that her former Democratic rival Bernie Sanders did. Women are somewhat more likely to say they won’t vote for either, 17% compared with 13% for men.
Trump’s relationship with Russian Federation has drawn scrutiny throughout the campaign, most recently when he encouraged hackers from that country to find Clinton’s missing emails, an apparent invitation for a foreign power to intervene in a US election.
Frustratingly for Republicans, Trump’s missteps have overshadowed hard news for Clinton: The new release of 44 previously-unreleased email exchanges Clinton had while at the State Department.
Biden says he’s heading this week to Kosovo to reassure North Atlantic Treaty Organisation countries that America stands by its alliances – a commitment he says Trump has weakened.

Unfavorability is a challenge for both candidates, although Clinton lands better than Trump slightly. (In an average of post-convention polls, Clinton is up 3.6 points in Florida and 1.5 points in Nevada.) Perhaps the polls are having difficulty accounting for the preferences of Hispanic voters, or perhaps Trump is making up for that deficit by winning white voters overwhelmingly.
