Although Trump is largely ahead in approval ratings, he is currently facing a number of legal troubles that includes a civil fraud case in New York which may deal a serious blow to the capability of his real estate business to function in the city.
Trump, along with his two sons, has been accused of inflating assets with an aim of getting soft bank loans and favourable insurance terms. However, it must also be noted that Trump's legal troubles have not diminished the support that he is getting from Republican voters.
