A new poll shows that Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has a 10-point advantage over her Republican rival. Sixty-five percent of respondents were at least somewhat familiar with the controversy, and of them, 69 percent said Trump’s statements were “out of bounds” and a mere 19 percent said they were “in bounds”. Trump, meanwhile, only has the support of 63 percent of registered Republicans.
Clinton has increased her favorable rating by more than 12 points since May, from 41.6 to 53.8 percent, while also decreasing her unfavorable rating from 31 to 25.5 percent.
According to Politico, Clinton held just a two-point advantage over Trump before the conventions in a WMUR/University of New Hampshire poll.
Clinton opened up a 15-point margin in the McClatchy-Marist survey, 48 percent to 33 percent, which was conducted as Trump feuded publicly first with the Muslim parents of a slain American war hero and then House Speaker Paul Ryan, one of the GOP’s most popular and powerful figures.
Clinton stated that Trump’s criticism of military families shows he isn’t fit to be Commander in Chief. The number includes likely voters who said they were “leaning” toward a candidate but had not yet decided. Sources within the Republican Party are concerned that Trump’s campaign will continue to deteriorate in light of the media reports criticizing the controversial nominee.
Both campaigns are working hard at wooing voters in the what could prove a pivotal state for the 2016 presidential election. Some because you just heard all of the Democrat messages, and some because you can get Donald Trump voters not answering the phone for a couple of days, given their perceptions of the state of the race.
Gabbard, who served in Iraq, broke with much of the Democratic Party establishment in February to endorse Sanders’s upstart presidential challenge to Clinton. She’s at -43 points among indies. The margin of error for the full sample is plus or minus 2.3 percentage points and the margin of error among registered voters is plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.
Suffolk found the issues that are getting the most attention from the candidates are the ones the public cares about the most.
