Yep, he has made many mistakes. He has had to basically fully rebuild his campaign staff now three different times because he keeps bringing in the wrong people.
In June he spent around 16 million on ads and it got him nothing. He didn't jump in the polls, he didn't move ahead in any states, nothing. Meanwhile Obama is raising tons of money and is spending very little of it. What he is spending on is hiring people for a grass roots campaign and to register new voters. The national polls don't really matter because of the electoral college. Check out

Things could change, there is a long time until the election, but he has a big hill to climb and he doesn't seem capable of putting the team together to help him do it.
