Feelings of frustration, disgust and fear are mounting among U.S. voters, a new poll has found, as many Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump supporters say their presidential pick is driven by a dislike of the other candidate.
In Nevada, Trump held a 3-point lead over Clinton among likely voters in a three-way race that included Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson.
Some 12 percent of voters said they wouldn’t vote for either or are undecided. Russ Feingold is ahead of Republican Sen.
Trump and Clinton supporters expressed similar levels of frustration, 55 percent and 53 percent respectively, and differed little in their feelings of disgust, 53 percent and 48 percent. Ron Johnson, 45 percent to 42 percent among likely voters. Forty-three percent of them view her favorably and another 50 percent see her unfavorably.
That’s compared with a combined 64 percent of voters who say they have concerns about Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state.
Monmouth also polled voters on Trump’s recent admission that President Barack Obama was born in the United States, after the candidate pushed a false conspiracy theory stating otherwise for roughly five years. Overall, 42 percent support both air and ground forces against ISIS, 30 percent support limiting operations to air strikes, and 15 percent oppose any military action.
Clinton received more support than usual from registered male voters in the NBC/Wall Street Journal poll.
