Trump’s unfavorable numbers have jumped nine points from a week ago, now at sixty one percent up from 52 percent.
Sixty-seven percent say Clinton has the experience to be president but 64 percent still believe that she is not honest and trustworthy.
But only 31 percent of voters believe that Trump has the right experience to be president while 64 percent believe Trump is not honest and trustworthy.

Trump is tied with Clinton on who is best suited to handle terrorism and leads Clinton on the issue of guns.
