Forty percent, meanwhile, said the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) will tilt the election in Clinton’s favor despite the fact the organization no longer exists.

Pollsters next found that 41 percent agreed with Trump’s statement last week that Clinton is “the devil,” contrasted with 42 percent who disagreed and 17 percent who were unsure.

Tuesday’s results also showed that 47 percent believed they witnessed footage of Iran collecting $400 million from the U.S.

Forty-six percent said they had not seen the video, which Trump seemingly admitted he had not actually viewed last Friday.

Thirty-nine percent viewed the Khan family negatively after the feud, while 11 percent had a positive opinion instead.
