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. “It is built on stoking mistrust and pitting American against American”, Clinton said.

At this point, it’s hard to say exactly who Sanders supporters might vote for in the general election, but it seems pretty clear two female candidates – not Trump – are the top prospects.
Americans trust Democrat Hillary Clinton more than Republican Donald Trump to handle numerous major issues facing the next president, an Associated Press-GfK poll shows.

Lopez, meanwhile, said he considers Trump to be racist and described him as “a rich guy who tried to step on a lot of toes”. It reverted red in 2012, but polling has shown Clinton competitive there, drawing significant support from minority communities.
She has a slight advantage on handling worldwide trade, 35 percent to 31 percent, but that’s slightly narrowed since she had a 9 percentage point advantage in April. Sixty-eight percent of blacks, 52 percent of Hispanics and 28 percent of whites have a favorable view of Clinton.
Clinton leads in Florida 44 percent to 37 percent; the remaining 19 percent are undecided or prefer another candidate.

Trump, asserting that he is the law and order candidate, is doing all he can to take advantage of the tragedies, much in the same way he tried to use the terrorist attack in Orlando to his own advantage. Correspondingly, 39 percent said they’d vote for Clinton, while just 13 percent said they’d for vote Trump.
This poll was conducted by telephone July 8-12, among a random sample of 1,600 adults nationwide, including 1,358 registered voters. People selected for KnowledgePanel who didn’t have access to the Internet were provided access for free.
