Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump Tied in Latest National Poll
Clinton’s numbers have been declining steadily since April 2016 when she was leading Trump by ten points at 50 percent, while Trump had 40 percent.
Hillary Clinton 40 percent, Donald Trump 40 percent. The margin of error for the sample of registered voters is three points.
The Green Party candidate said many Bernie Sanders supporters are joining her camp after he endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. Neither candidate scores well on that question – with Trump distrusted by 62 percent of voters. Forty-eight percent expressed at least some confidence that the probe had been independent and impartial, while 47 percent – including most Republicans and a slim majority of independents – had little or no confidence that it was. Johnson is at 7 percent and Stein is at 6 percent in the Buckeye State.
Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee, has mostly led in the national online poll this year.
It’s official: Donald Trump says he’ll introduce America to his running mate Friday morning.
James Comey, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, said last week that Clinton and her staff were “extremely careless” with sensitive information but recommended that the government not seek criminal charges against her. Just 28 percent view her as honest.
In Pennsylvania, Clinton leads Trump by nine points with 45 percent among registered voters.
According to US Uncut, the Green Party has received over US$80,000 in contributions since Tuesday and over half of those came from first-time donors.
Sixty-two percent of voters said they don’t believe Trump is honest, and two-thirds said he is not prepared for the job of president – compared to 48 percent who say that Clinton isn’t. But voters are evenly divided when it comes to who they think has higher moral standards.
And while Trump still has some work to do to win Wisconsin, another Midwestern battleground, a Marquette University Law School poll Wednesday found him within striking distance in the Badger State, taking 41% of the vote to Clinton’s 45%.
Clinton appears to have been wounded by the continuation of her email scandal.
“It’s about helping the livelihoods of everybody”, former Sanders supporter Victoria Goldsby said of the need for party unity. For instance, in OH, her lead balloons to 23 points on that question. “While in the platform there is a call to end Super PACs, multiple amendments were just voted down unanimously on Hillary Clinton’s side”. But as this most recent poll shows, that will be an uphill battle in states where people have questions about her effectiveness and leadership.
