Fear Factor: Americans scared of their presidential options

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was in Springfield, Ill., Wednesday where she sought to use the symbolism of a historic landmark to draw parallels to a present-day America that is in need of repairing deepening racial and cultural divides.

OH voters said by 59 percent to 39 percent they are falling behind economically, by 59 to 37 percent that foreign-trade agreements have hurt them personally, and by 79 to 20 percent that public officials “don’t care much what people like me think”.

Ms Clinton, meanwhile, has been dogged by criticisms of how she handled classified information as secretary of state. If he were to lose to the single state of Florida, for example, the election would essentially be over. In Pennsylvania, 982 voters were surveyed and the poll has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points. Quinnipiac polled Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania and showed Clinton dropped since their June 21st poll.

Clinton lost ground on honesty and moral standards in the poll that showed tight races in Florida, Pennsylvania and OH, all swing states that could go to either party in November’s presidential election.

But the survey found that views of Trump have not improved on these measures and remain mostly negative with 62 percent of voters saying they don’t think he’s honest and two-thirds saying he is not prepared to be president.

In recent weeks, Clinton has started to acknowledge that many voters simply do not trust her.

The analysis uses the opinions of 57,000 registered voters collected from April through June in tandem with a variety of demographic characteristics in each state, such as age, gender, and President Obama’s approval rating, to determine how the race would look now. A Monmouth University poll showed Mrs. Clinton with a 13-point lead in Colorado, and a Fox News poll showed her up 10 points in that state and 7 points in Virginia. That includes a quarter who say it doesn’t matter who wins: they’re scared of both. “What do you say to them?”

“That’s what our country needs, to make sure Hillary Clinton is the president of the United States and not presumptive nominee Donald Trump”, said Tony Flora, Democratic Party Delegate. He’s still favored by men, and her lead with women has gotten smaller.
