New poll shows Clinton, Trump in tie for 2016 race

Hillary Clinton’s campaign has been in a free fall in the polls ever since she announced her candidacy and no amount of keeping her out of the spotlight and/or sugarcoating her record is likely to stop that.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are in a dead heat as the Republicans head into their presidential nominating convention next week, a poll released Thursday said.

In the same poll last month, the Democrat Clinton had a six point lead over Trump – 43 to 37 percent.

Trump and Clinton are tied with 40% support each in a hypothetical head-to-head match-up, the latest New York Times/CBS News poll showed. Only 28 percent view her as honest.

Throughout her speech, Clinton sought to empathize with immigrant voters by insisting she understood “how painful it was” to hear the SCOTUS ruling.

The survey showed some areas of concern for Clinton. Meanwhile, 62 percent of voters polled said the same of Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee.

Clinton has made revamping the country’s immigration system a key plank of her presidential campaign. He endorsed Clinton in New Hampshire on Tuesday. “And then there are a second tier of swing states – Virginia, Iowa, Colorado to name three that are big, big centers of attention and could well decide it”. More than half (56%) of respondents said they would be afraid of Trump as President, while 48% said they would feel that way if Clinton won.

Forty-seven per cent of Trump’s supporters consider him only slightly or not at all civil, 39 per cent say he’s slightly or not at all likable and 31 per cent say he’s only slightly or not at all qualified.

Hillary Clinton will accuse Donald Trump of casting Latinos as less American due to their heritage, part of an effort to woo voters in the fast-growing demographic group and paint her GOP rival as a divisive and unsafe political force.
