Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wouldn't say on Sunday whether he believed Donald Trump was qualified to be president.

This Week host George Stephanopoulos was sharing with the congressional leader some new poll numbers, including that 64 percent of Americans don't believe Trump is qualified to be president.

The journalist wanted to know if McConnell agreed.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell talked about some of the work Donald Trump would need to do to right his campaign

But when host George Stephanopoulos (right) asked Mitch McConnell (left) if The Donald was qualified to be president he gave a politician's answer, suggesting the voters would have to decide

'Well, look, I – I think there's no question that he's made a number of mistakes over the last few weeks,' McConnell began. 'I think they're beginning to right the ship.'

'It's a long time until November. And the burden, obviously, will be on him to convince people that he can handle the job,' McConnell continued.

The senator added that he thought it was a step in the right direction, the various changes Trump has made to the campaign.

Last week Trump fired his longtime campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.

Another aide, who acted gleefully on Twitter, writing 'ding dong the witch is dead' at the news of Lewandowski's departure, is also out.

This amid sinking poll numbers and paltry fundraising totals, including the $1.2 million cash on hand that the Trump campaign reported that they had in May.

McConnell told Stephanopoulos that he was aware that you couldn't win a presidential race with so little money 'but I hope he won't have that kind of money deficit come fall.'

'He needs to catch up and catch up fast,' McConnell said.

Back to the qualified question, McConnell said he liked the more polished version of Trump, which was on display this week when The Donald delivered a speech in New York attacking Clinton before jetting off to Scotland.

'He's beginning to use a prepared script more often, which I think is absolutely appropriate for any candidate, whether you're a long-time politician like Hillary Clinton or whether you're new to the game like Donald Trump' McConnell also said.

The ABC newsman stopped him there.

'I didn't hear you say whether you thought he was qualified,' Stephanopoulos pointed out.

McConnell gave a politician's answer.

'Look, I'll leave that to the American people to decide,' he answered.

'You know, he won the Republican nomination fair and square. He got more votes than anybody else against a whole lot of well qualified candidates,' McConnell continued.
