While bombastic Republican nominee Donald Trump remains the most unpopular major-party presidential nominee in modern US history, Hillary Clinton is not faring much better ― a new poll found that she is now the most disliked she has ever been 25 years of public life.

Two new polls paint slightly different pictures of the Wisconsin electorate two months away from the November election – though both show leads for the Democratic candidates in the presidential and U.S. Senate races.
A “huge percentage” of electorate does not support Trump, Clinton, Libertarian Gary Johnson, or Green Party candidate Jill Stein, according to pollster Charles Franklin.
The results of the Marquette Poll are close to those released by the Monmouth University Polling Institute Wednesday afternoon.
That headline finding is a tad misleading: Clinton is only one percentage point more unpopular today than she was in June, well within the poll’s margin of error.
Fifty one percent of registered voters said they read or heard “a lot” about the recent civil unrest in Milwaukee after a police offer shot and killed an armed man.
An NBC News-SurveyMonkey poll that was released on Tuesday showed Trump cut Clinton’s lead among independents from eight percent to four percent.
Two days ago it was 6.1 points and about a month ago, Clinton was leading on an average by almost 10 percentage points. The big takeaway from talking to 800-plus likely voters between April 26 and April 28th is comforting to those of us interested in more rather than fewer choices in our lives. The margin of error was +/-4.5 percent for registered voters and +/-5 percent for likely voters.
More than once, Clinton explicitly called on Republicans to get on board – both to support her plans and to defeat Trump. Ron Johnson 48 percent to 45 percent.
In Michigan, Clinton led Trump by five points, 45 pct to 40 pct, and by three points in Pennsylvania, 46 to 43. A whopping 62% of Johnson voters say they are open to changing their minds about whom they’ll vote for, compared to just 16% of Trump-Clinton voters, altogether.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will speak at the American Legion National Convention in Cincinnati this week, according to the organization.
The survey also found that Clinton’s favorability dropped significantly among groups of Americans who have been supportive of the candidate, including women, Hispanics and liberals.
