Clinton vs. Trump: Even their supporters don’t like them
Clinton vs. Trump: Even their supporters don’t like them
“WASHINGTON — Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are unusually weak, widely disliked presidential candidates whom most people plan to vote against if the front-runners meet in the general election.
Most people who'd vote for Clinton would do so because they want to defeat Trump, not because they actually want to elect her, according to a new McClatchy-Marist poll.
And most of those who'd vote for Trump would do it because they want to defeat Clinton, not because they like Trump.
The winner? He or she is likely to begin the presidential term without the usual honeymoon period ……….
………. Marist Institute for Public Opinion in New York, which conducted the nationwide poll.
Marist found that overwhelming, largely unprecedented ill will toward Clinton and Trump was a big driver of voter sentiment, particularly among independents.
Fifty-three percent of all Clinton voters, and three of four independents, said they'd pick the former secretary of state because they'd be voting against Trump.
Sixty-one percent of Trump voters, and nearly two of three independent supporters, said their vote for the New York real estate mogul would be largely a vote against Clinton. Only 35 percent said they'd be casting a pro-Trump vote………….
………..Given the Clinton-Trump choice, independents were less enthusiastic. A big reason they'll pick a candidate is "they don't like the other guy," ………..
It would seem who ever one votes for…. most will be holding their nose as they mark their ballot…” Given the Clinton-Trump choice, independents were less enthusiastic. A big reason they'll pick a candidate is "they don't like the other guy," said Miringoff.
