Trump campaign says it's "behind," as new poll shows him down double digits

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is acknowledging that it’s playing catch-up to Hillary Clinton, just as a new national poll shows the Republican nominee trailing his opponent by double digits.

When asked on NBC News how she saw the state of the race, Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s campaign manager, replied that “We are behind.”

“She has some advantages, like $66 million in ad buys just in the month of September, thereby doubling her ad buys from August,” Conway pointed out. “Now, most of those ads are negative against Donald Trump, classic politics, personal destruction...kind of ads. And that she has tremendous advantages.”

During the run-up to the Nov. 8 election, however, Trump has also increased his television advertising budget. In the third week of October, Trump’s campaign surpassed Clinton for the first time in TV ad buys, spending $14 million on advertising campaigns, versus Clinton’s $10 million

Sixty-five per cent of likely voters disapproved of Mr Trump’s claims that the election was rigged and that he would be unwilling to accept the results if Ms Clinton comes out on top.

Voters also disapproved, 69-24 per cent, of Mr Trump’s response to the sexual assault allegations made against him. Some women voters who initially gave him the benefit of the doubt have abandoned their support for the Republican nominee.

The survey, produced by Langer Research Associates, was conducted between last Thursday and Saturday, polling 1,391 people, including 874 who consider themselves likely voters.
