Clinton had been ahead by only about 3 to 4 percentage points in the week immediately prior to the Orlando carnage. He is now trailing Hillary by approximately 5 to 9 percentage points.

Trump would likely have scored more points with the public by expressing sympathy for the families of the victims rather than bombastic self-congratulations over apparent vindication of his policies.
