But this year, with the unpopular Trump at the top of the ticket, flagging enthusiasm for the Republican Party in the state and a rapidly growing Latino population in Arizona, the Clinton campaign believes the state may be worth the bet.
But if you look just at registered voters, the new poll actually shows Clinton’s image is about as bad as Trump’s, with 38 percent having a favorable impression and 59 percent unfavorable, compared with a 37/60 split for Trump.
“Even though Hillary Clinton is trusted by more of the public on these issues, they have pretty low expectations that things will get better, no matter who wins”, said Kaiser polling chief Mollyann Brodie.
Though Clinton was subtler in her attacks on Trump in front of the audience of veterans, the former secretary of state did blast the businessman-turned-politician – sometimes not by name – for what she said were his insults toward the military, attacking the family of a soldier killed in action and being too cozy with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Clinton continued her outreach to Republican voters as well Wednesday, pledging before a somewhat muted crowd to “be a president for Democrats, Republicans, independents, for people who vote for me, for people who don’t, for all Americans”. Sixty-four percent of voters – and 71 percent of women voters – said they trusted Clinton to do a better job.
Only 38 per cent of registered U.S. voters view Clinton positively while 59 per cent say they dislike her, compared to the 37/60 split for Trump. The numbers for Trump were 28 percent and 20 percent, respectively.
The split on Medicaid was 54 percent trusting Clinton and 37 percent trusting Trump.
Among adults answering the questionnaire, Clinton added 6 points to her unfavorable rating in three weeks and is viewed unfavorably by 56 percent, compared to Trump’s 63 percent.
