“If Hillary Clinton won, I’d probably consider suicide”.

A New York Times-CBS News poll released Thursday morning underscores how challenging the past few weeks have proven for Clinton.
Among registered voters polled, 43 percent supported Clinton and 37 percent supported presumptive Republican candidate Donald Trump – a 6 point spread.
Three-quarters of voters say their pick for president is motivated by a desire to cast their Election Day ballot against Clinton or Trump, more than those who say they’re voting for the candidate who shares their positions on the issues or is the most qualified to hold the office.
Van Sickle said that Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton “are mostly interested in what will make money for them”.
The book could well offer a critical take on Clinton, as Sanders often challenged her on her ties to Wall Street and questioned her willingness to take on wealthy special interests. Some 78 percent of Republicans believe what she did was illegal, while half of independents expressed the same sentiment.
Some 60 percent of likely voters have an unfavourable view of Trump, compared with 58 percent on July 1. And another 24 percent said she did nothing wrong.
Voters were nearly perfectly divided on whether the FBI investigation into the email scandal was fair.
Trump is leading Clinton by 42 per cent to 39 per cent in Florida, although last month the former secretary of state had been eight percentage points out in front of the real estate magnate, EFE news agency reported.
However, the number of people saying they have an overall positive view of Trump has grown slightly since last month, from 26 percent to 30 percent. Both Clinton and Trump, who has garnered 36 percent, are vying for the state’s 20 electoral votes.
Hillary Clinton may still have the best odds of winning the general election, but as she prepares to officially receive her party’s nomination at the Democratic National Convention later this month, a new poll reveals just how bruised and bloodied her candidacy has become.
The margin of error for the July poll was 3 points, and the sample size was 1,600 random adults, with roughly 1,400 being registered voters.

“I’m trying to figure out how we get them to have Pokemon GO to the polls”, Clinton joked.
