That's possible, but also we need to remember that people won't be persuaded just by the candidates' use of logic and reason. The non-verbal aspects also matter a lot because those influence people as well. In my opinion, and many others, Trump is a much better non-verbal communicator than Clinton. His face is more expressive and you can recognize the emotions in him more quickly. And having decades of experience in business negotiations, deals, and interactions with people, it's not inconceivable that over the years he developed all these different persuasion skills, like the ones below:

Trump's style of speaking is also quite different from that of Clinton's. His word choice and sentence structures are curiously simple (simple enough to be comprehended by a fourth-grader) and yet he tends to talk in a loose and fragmented manner that can perhaps be described only by chaos theory.

So my point is, although Trump may have a worse logical coherence in the debates than Clinton, there are still some over-looked factors that can very likely boost his votes even more. Besides, Trump will have some newer arguments against Clinton this time (the same things which brought her votes down), like the email leaks and possibly other things that may surface in the near future.
He is likely to mention the recent national polls where he is leading Clinton to further motivate his supporters to go and vote.
