June 29, 2016 - Hate Winning, As Clinton-Trump Race Too Close To Call, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; Neither Candidate Would Be Good President, Voters Say

Democrat Hillary Clinton has 42 percent to Republican Donald Trump's 40 percent - too close to call - as American voters say neither candidate would be a good president and that the campaign has increased hatred and prejudice in the nation, according to a Quinnipiac University National poll released today.

This compares to results of a June 1 national poll by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN- uh-pe-ack) University, showing Clinton edging Trump 45 - 41 percent.

When third party candidates are added to today's survey, Clinton gets 39 percent with Trump at 37 percent. Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson gets 8 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein gets 4 percent.

"The 2016 election has increased the level of hatred and prejudice in the U.S.," 61 percent of American voters say. Another 34 percent say it has had no impact. Of that 61 percent, 67 percent blame the Trump campaign and 16 percent blame the Clinton campaign.

"It would be difficult to imagine a less flattering from-the-gut reaction to Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

"This is where we are. Voters find themselves in the middle of a mean-spirited, scorched earth campaign between two candidates they don't like. And they don't think either candidate would be a good president."

American voters are deeply divided along gender, racial, age and party lines. Women back Clinton 50 - 33 percent while men back Trump 47 - 34 percent.

White voters back Trump 47 - 34 percent. Black voters back Clinton 91 - 1 percent and Hispanic voters back her 50 - 33 percent. Voters 18 to 34 years old go Democratic 48 - 23 percent, while voters over 65 years old go Republican 51 - 35 percent.

Democrats go to Clinton 89 - 3 percent, as Republicans go to Trump 84 - 6 percent. Independent voters are divided with 36 percent for Trump and 34 percent for Clinton.

Both top candidates get negative favorability ratings, 34 - 57 percent for Trump and 37 - 57 percent for Clinton.

Trump will not be a good president, American voters say 58 - 35 percent.

Clinton will not be a good president, voters say 53 - 43 percent.

American voters say 58 - 33 percent that Clinton is better prepared to be president than Trump; 53 - 33 percent that she is more intelligent and 46 - 37 percent that she has higher moral standards. But voters say 45 - 37 percent that Trump is more honest and trustworthy and 49 - 43 percent that he is a stronger leader.

Looking at who would best handle important issues, American voters say:

Trump getting 1% of the black vote does not pass the smell test.

It depends on your definition of “better prepared!” When it comes to the “typical traits of current governannce,” Hitlary wins hands down! I mean she knows how to lie, steal, obfuscate, perjor herself, and commit treason, so yes, it the “traditional context,” she is indeed “better qualified!”

So Nate Silver has a 79 percent chance that Madame will be elected president over Trump? I seem to recall that Nate’s crystal ball has become a bit cloudy over the past two years. In addition, I watched the Brexit vote carefully last week; when the polls closed, the major betting houses gave the EU a 90 percent chance of winning the referendum.

Looks like another piece of work by the establishment setting us up for anybody, but Trump at the convention. It says “See what we mean!? We need someone other than Trump to beat Hillary.”

I think it’s a lot of words, and numbers resulting in BS.

No it doesn’t. Not in the least. Even feckless Romney managed about 4% though, by some strange coincidence, not even .00000000001% in select Philadelphia precincts which delivered over 85K votes to ObaMao.

My bet is that a lot of people who are going to vote for Trump don’t say so to pollsters. With the economy and terrorism being the big issues, and Trump leading by big margins on both, he could very easily be ahead of Clinton by 5 points or more.

Because those selective precincts were composed of 100% of a certain race that depends 100% upon the federal government for their existence.

What do they mean greater hatred and prejudice in this campaign? Against whom? US against muslims and Illegals or the reverse?

Notice that Trump leads big in the economy and terrorism issues, both by double digits. Clintons’ lead on immigration and international crisis is actually quite small, just 5 and 9 points respectively.

Also, notice that Trump is more honest and trustworthy by double digits, and by 6 points as a strong leader. Clinton’s positive numbers in the other categories can be explained by all the positive media attention she gets, and the fact that she has hidden herself from the press for several months.

I still don’t know how much of a punch Clinton can take, she hasn’t run in a campaign where there has been a steady stream of attacks directed against her. 0bama ran some ads in 2008, and she lost, despite the fact that she was the heavy favorite going in.

I also suspect that a large percentage of those who are planning to vote for Trump don’t say so, especially given the fact that he leads in the terrorism and economy issues, which are huge issues in this election.

Compare that with the NBC/WSJ poll internals much of the opposite in latest poll against Shillary. Look at the who is more "being honest and straightforward" question in particular, which is a 16% lead for Trump:



Somebody lying here? Lib Quinnipiac U. skewing and directing some of the questions to the DU'ers for the answers?
