There is a Bloomberg Poll that shows Hillary trouncing Trump by 12 but he gets a better score on combatting terrorism:
"One bit of positive news for Trump in the results is that he narrowly edges out Clinton, 45 percent to 41 percent, when those surveyed were asked which candidate they would have more confidence in if a similar attack to the one in Florida took place a year from now. The violence left 49 victims dead, the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.
Fifty percent to 45 percent, Trump is also viewed as stronger among likely voters in combating terrorist threats at home and abroad."

You can't really compare individual polls from different pollsters. Adrahil Jun 2016 #10

538 is averaging polls. It isn't comparing polls. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2016 #16

OK, so polls averaged.. still not looking good. nt phazed0 Jun 2016 #25

I guess it depends if one is a Clinton supporter or a Trump supporter. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2016 #26
