Overall, the average of the recent polls puts Clinton at 44 per cent and Trump at 38 per cent. What looked like a tight contest between Trump and Hillary Clinton in late May has morphed into a Trump deficit that cannot be wished away. Instead, it looks increasingly as if it could become a referendum on Donald Trump, and right now that's the last thing Republicans want. Just 23 per cent of white men view her favourably, compared with 75 per cent unfavourable. That's a change from the month of May, when several polls showed Trump leading narrowly.
