As Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton head to their parties’ respective conventions to be formally nominated as their presidential candidates, a poll released today showed that only a very small percentage of United States voters have expressed positive views about both contenders.

The rally in Annandale – a community home to many Koreans and Vietnamese – also served as an audition of sorts for Sen. Among Democrats, 61 percent think Clinton showed poor judgment but did not break the law, while 11 percent think she did nothing wrong at all. “The choices we make will say a lot about who we are”.
Clinton’s campaign released a web video early Saturday highlighting the campaign’s mixed signals and Trump’s contradictory statements about where he was in the selection process in the lead-up to his announcement Friday morning of Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.
Clinton is ahead of Trump in North Carolina 44% to 38%, a state which President Barack Obama won for Democrats in 2008 for the first time since 1976.
“Those were her best lines”, said Donovan Trott, a 31-year-old student at George Washington University who attended the luncheon.
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are trying to catch ’em all – voters that is, by weighing in on the phenomenon that is Pokemon Go. Trump has predicted that Hispanic voters will back him in surprising numbers.
WASHINGTON/NEW YORK U.S. Senator Tim Kaine is widely seen as the “safe choice” to become Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential running-mate, and that may be the biggest mark against him.
The source emphasized that no one suggested that Clinton wasn’t running a strong race or questioned her performance.
Clinton stressed her commitment to pursuing Obama’s initiative, known as Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, and to continue the use of executive actions to broaden the program’s scope.
“I think he’d make an excellent vice-president and I think he’d help carry Virginia”.
She challenged Clinton to do everything she can on immigration reform and referred to Kaine as an “honorary Latino”. “It was to say that they were listo, to say that they were ready”, Kaine said.
“I’d be afraid”, the man said, “In fact, I say ‘dump Trump'”.
Asked about Kaine, Artie Blanco, a super delegate from Nevada, said he would not be her top pick.
“He has no vision of nothing”.
There were also hundreds of thousands of provisional ballots that require extra verification and take longer to record, many from voters not affiliated with either party who did not realize they had to specifically request a Democratic ballot to participate in the Democratic presidential primary. “You want the trash talker?”
Clinton, perched on a stool nearby, broke into a broad smile.
Half of Clinton’s own supporters consider her only slightly or not at all honest, and more than a third say she’s only slightly or not at all likable. “Hillary Clinton knows that’s the last thing we need”, a narrator says, adding: “An unsteady world demands a very steady leader”. “But less well-known are the causes that have been at the center of her life”.
She was escorted into the room by members of the Senate Democratic leadership.

Clinton told reporters that the almost hour-long session focused on issues including economic opportunity, as well as building a strong Democratic Party. “I think she has a better idea of the oppression that women and minorities face”, Sullivan said.
