NEW YORK (AP) — More than half the country fears a Trump presidency. And only about a third of Americans believe he is at least somewhat qualified to serve in the White House.

In the final sprint to Election Day, a new Associated Press-GfK poll underscores those daunting roadblocks for Donald Trump as he tries to overtake Hillary Clinton.

Moreover, most voters oppose the hard-line approach to immigration that is a centerpiece of the billionaire businessman's campaign. They are more likely to trust Clinton to handle a variety of issues facing the country, and Trump has no advantage on the national security topics also at the forefront of his bid.

Trump undoubtedly has a passionate base of support, seen clearly among the thousands of backers who fill the stands at his signature rallies. But most people don't share that fervor. Only 29 percent of registered voters would be excited and just 24 percent would be proud should Trump prevail in November.

How do those people justify Obama’s readiness to assume the White Hut? He had, and still has, no accomplishments in life. None whatsoever.

Pure propaganda. Trump is outperforming Romney and McCain and on par with Bush in 2000 and 2004. Yet the article reads like he’s on his way to a Goldwater like loss.

If Trump wins, the mainstream media (MSM) will be so discredited that the entire journalism profession will be set back for decades, because that's how long it will take for them to recover from this debacle.

Canada had better beef up her border patrol if Trump wins...there’ll be a flood of “progressives” like they've never seen.

The majority of Americans fear a Trump presidency?

OK, lets look at some barometers, such as the numbers that attend their political rallies - Trump outnumbers that witch in the hundreds to 1.

Let’s look at commentary after videos and news articles, the majority, vast majority are against Hitlery.

Seriously, it’s all bull shit, plain good old American farm fresh bull shit.

I think this is what’s called projection. I for one fear Hitlery.

I’m not saying this election is in the bag, but with tons of good news out there for Trump, this all bad news poll/ article is silly.

Same thing for Reagan in 1980. Then he acted presidential in the debate against Carter and...the rest of the story.

Trump has to do the same tmw. Be presidential, calm, cool and collected. If he does, he’ll be the next President.

tens of millions of dollars in ads going unresponded to can have this effect with perceptions...but if they don’t actually vote it doesn’t ultimately make a difference.
