Meanwhile in a national poll, Clinton is leading Trump, according to the right-leaning Red Oak Strategic released on Wednesday. In a May analysis of polling numbers, FiveThirtyEight found that Trump and Clinton are the two most unpopular major party candidates, and a closer look at the statistics from polls showed those negative attitudes couldn’t simply be attributed to political polarization.
Seven percent of likely voters said they would vote for neither candidate, while 3 percent said they were undecided.
The survey also found a big gap in voters’ views of whether Clinton and Trump are qualified for the presidency.
Monmouth spoke to 803 registered voters from August 4 to August 7, and the poll has a margin of error of plus/minus 3.5 percentage points. The results gave tax and fee hikes a slight at edge at 43 percent, while 33 percent favored cutting projects and 12 percent said the state should borrow money.
Clinton leads Trump, 36.6 percent to 29.6 percent.
Among Democrats and independents who lean Democratic, 16 percent say the party is divided and will remain so. Seventy percent told pollsters they don’t think Americans are united on important issues. Last month, Feingold was at 48 percent and Johnson at 41 percent.
Among registered voters, Democratic candidate Russ Feingold is supported by 49% while Republican incumbent Ron Johnson receives 43%. There was also widespread concern about Clinton’s handling of the attack on the USA embassy in Benghazi in 2012, when Clinton was secretary of state, with 75 percent being bothered by the issue, 55 percent “a lot”. His disapproval rating is 59 percent, a point higher from July.
Almost 63 percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of Trump, while 53 percent have an unfavorable view of Clinton. Those were classified as likely voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points.
