The poll specifically asked whether voters feel that their own personal way of life is under threat from six different sources. Among these sources, majorities of the electorate say they personally feel threatened by Islamic terrorists (61%) and by the prospect of a Donald Trump presidency (54%). About 4-in-10 feel their way of life is threatened by the prospect of a Hillary Clinton presidency (42%), by the policies of the Republican Party (43%), or by the policies of the Democratic Party (39%). Just 28% say their personal way of life is under threat from illegal immigrants from Mexico.

It's also worth noting that the rating of how Congress is doing remains abysmally low at 14% approve and 78% disapprove. On the other hand, Pres. Barack Obama's job rating has taken a significant upturn in the past month, now standing at 56% approve and 40% disapprove. It was 49% approve and 46% disapprove in July.
Trump is paying for his abrasive rhetoric and relentless vindictiveness. I do expect the margin to narrow once he, the conservative PACs and/or the RNC begin advertising heavily. Of course that is based on the premise that Trump cuts down on unforced errors, which is no lock.
