Trump used to like to parrot all of his poll numbers, but now he doesn’t mention them much and it’s easy to see why:

There was a new poll that came out today from Quinnipiac, and it does show improvement overall:

The bottom line is that Trump has his work cut out for him. He already has such a bad foundation considering how well known he is, so it’s an uphill battle trying to reverse these polling trends. He certainly has time, but I’m not sure he has the ability to do it. Maybe a good VP pick will help turn the tide.
We’ll see.
