Trump: 23 percent; an insignificant decline from the Spring results.
By letting Trump speak for himself and showcasing what it looks like when children hear those words, the effort seems to paint a dystopian view of the future before presenting Clinton as a voice of reason.
Trump’s promises to build a wall along the Southern border, create a special deportation force to catch undocumented immigrants and references to Mexican immigrants as criminals and rapists have alienated many Latino voters.
Trump’s proposals, said Clinton, would deport 16 million immigrants now living in the United States, cost the country around $1 trillion in economic output and weaken a fundamental American value.
The analysis of Rhode Island registered voters by the website Morning Consult put Clinton at 47% and Trump at 36%, with 17% of voters undecided. Both candidates’ unfavorable rating is at 54 percent. Hillary Clinton led Donald Trump by six points in June, but now they are dead even, each getting the support of 40 percent of registered voters nationwide.
Since last week’s poll, Trump’s standing improved by two percentage points while Clinton’s fell by three points.
When it comes to the election itself, 61 percent of polled voters say they are not looking forward to the rest of the campaign. The numbers on race relations were particularly stark, with Americans more likely to trust Clinton than Trump to make improvements, 45 percent to 17 percent.
In general, Americans are far more likely to say women, LGBT people, Hispanics, Muslims and African-Americans would fare better under Clinton, while they think men and whites would fare better under Trump. Just 20 percent say he isn’t racist and 7 percent said they didn’t know.
“The last time Quinnipiac surveyed Pennsylvania, Clinton had a one point lead, a small lead that was within the margin of error then”.
