New Delhi:
Recent polls have shown that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is falling behind his democratic counter-part Hillary Clinton. The Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted this week showed 45.5 per cent of likely American voters supported Ms Clinton, while 34.8 per cent supported Mr Trump. On Sunday, Ms Clinton's support was up to 46.6 per cent, against Mr Trump's 32.3 per cent.
Meanwhile, about 70 per cent of Americans, including a majority of Democrats and Republicans, said they wanted to see at least moderate regulations on guns.
Cornered, Donald Trump put up a brave front telling voters he would be a better president than Hillary Clinton for women, Latinos, LGBT, possibly trying to salvage his position with those he has so far mocked or ignored.
Donald Trump, speaking at a rally in Dallas, said, "So in the polls I'm doing unbelievably, like almost record-setting with men for Trump, but I want women for Trump, the hell with the men, right? I want women. I'm going to bring jobs back to our country you watch. We're going to win with the Latinos. Hillary is going to do nothing for them."
But he was making a distinction, even though Mr Trump asked for the support of women, Latinos, LGBTs and other minority groups, he asked Congressmen to consider profiling Muslims, the latest in his long-expressed view on a temporary ban on Muslims entering America in order to fight terror, making his pitch a week after the shooting in Orlando where he appalled many with his reactions.
Possibly because polls suggests that 45 per cent of Americans said they supported Mr Trump's idea to suspend Muslim immigration, up from 41.9 per cent at the start of the month.
But Republicans are continuing to distance themselves from Donald Trump's tirade on Muslims. Top Republican Paul Ryan today said he would not obstruct any rebellion against Mr Trump by delegates in Cleveland.
Terrorism, gun control, immigration, jobs are going to be the defining markers for elections in the United States and Donald Trump should be a worried man.
