Greenberg Quinlan Roster Research, a firm tied to the Democrats, released a poll of Florida voters on Thursday which also had Clinton ahead, taking 45 percent with Trump pulling 40 percent and Johnson claiming 6 percent.

Institute Polling Director John Della Volpe told The College Fix in a phone interview that likely voters were defined as millennials who, when asked, said they would “definitely vote” in the election.
Almost two-thirds of all respondents – 66 percent – said their view of Clinton was either unfavorable or extremely unfavorable. As in previous weeks, most of the public view him as not qualified, nor do they think he is ready to serve as Commander-in-Chief. “They will be responsible for creating the future of politics”.
When the presidential contest expands to four candidates – including Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson and the Green Party’s Jill Stein – the Clinton-vs.-Trump horserace remains essentially unchanged. Clinton had an 8-point lead in the poll last month.
The poll came after Trump’s major economic speech on global trade and against globalization delivered in Pittsburgh suburb Monessen on June 28.
CNN notes that voters under 30 have voted predominantly for the Democrat candidate since 1988.
In addition, 36 percent think Clinton used bad judgment but did not do anything illegal.
Ninety-two percent of Americans believe Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, either broke the law or acted in “poor judgment” with her unauthorized email set-up, which consisted of several unsecured servers housed in the basement of her home in upscale Chappaqua, New York.
The IOP also tracked the enthusiasm of voters, asking them to rank themselves on a scale from “very enthusiastic” to “not at all enthusiastic”.
Things were not much better for Clinton, as 48 percent said they were terrified by the former secretary of state’s presidency, and 46 percent said they would feel regretful about it. She has the support of the political establishment.
Perhaps the most surprising element is that it appears nearly 20 percent of the electorate in these critical swing states appears to be up for grabs headed into the conventions and debates.
Another 18 percent say she is only slightly honest.
“The driving force behind voters’ choices is the negative impressions they have of both Trump and Clinton”.
More than half of Trump supporters – 54 percent – said that they had reservations about the real estate mogul, while 42 percent said they would vote for the Republican enthusiastically.
