Clinton Goes Under Water; Trump Polarization Grows (POLL)

By GARY LANGER. Clinton Goes Under Water; Trump Polarization Grows (POLL) (ABC News) Negative views of Hillary Clinton have jumped to nearly their highest on record in ABC News/Washington Post polls, while Donald Trump’s personal popularity has grown more polarized along racial and ethnic lines. Clinton’s favorability has burbled back under water: 45 percent of Americans now see her favorably, down 7 percentage points since midsummer, while 53 percent rate her unfavorably, up 8.

Her unfavorable score is a single point from its highest in ABC/Post polls dating back 23 years; that came in April 2008, in the midst of her last presidential campaign.

See PDF with full results, charts and tables here.

Trump is much farther under water than Clinton, rated favorably by 37 percent of Americans and unfavorably by 59 percent. That reflects a slight 4-point rise in favorability since mid-July, entirely among whites, +6 points.

Nonwhites see Trump negatively by a vast 17-79 percent, unchanged among Hispanics and more negative among blacks, by 16 points, since midsummer

Trump does not have a snowball in hell's chances of winning with these kinds of polling numbers. He's favorable/unfavorable numbers are about evenly split even among whites. This is a foreboding harbinger for him.

Concur, this looks bad for him, and I’m curious why so many people dislike him. Media spin?

Of course Trump’s numbers are going to be dynamic. Given the part of the electorate that expects the federal government to do its job, as mandated by the Constitution...versus the part that expects the feds to KEEP BREAKING THE LAW and operating for its own political strength versus serving as the government FOR AND BY THE PEOPLE as it is supposed to be.

An ugly contest but the survival of our Constitutional Republic (if it can) is dependent on cleaning it up.

I grew up in New York, so I don’t know if the NY media was more negative, or simply more abundant, but the notion people had about who Trump was:

* Ditches wives for newer models
* Bankrupt over and over again (I had no idea that only certain companies he owned went bankrupt.)
* Hollywood/Manhattan moral values. (Now he’s supposedly pro-life)
* Loved the Clintons.
* Profited from manipulating and exploiting badly written laws, and seeking political cronyism.
* Didn’t see such loopholes and cronyism as a problem, so long as they benefited him.

Trump flipped his fav/unfav numbers in Iowa. Trump also has an opportunity to improve his standing in the future.

For the rats, the HRC campaign will only see ever darkening skies, and Sanders will always be a socialist, which is a complete non-starter, nationally.

I’m surprised to see this on Yahoo since it’s an uber left biased news outlet these days. I didn’t think they would publish anything this negative about the shrill one. Trump yes but not their darling female dem operative.

I disagree Trump has zero chance of winning the Presidency. When we get down to a choice between him and whomever the dems produce; the dynamic will have changed dramatically. I think he would win in a landslide with a lot of moderate dem voters helping. They have been losing their jobs to foreigners too.

Shock Poll: 59% Back Trump On Deportation of Illegals
Investor’s Businness Daily ^ | Aug 31, 2015, 6:58 pm ET | IBD Editorials
Posted on 8/31/2015, 5:27:25 PM by Red Steel

Immigration: When Donald Trump proposed mandatory deportation of illegal aliens, pundits and politicians on both sides of the political aisle were appalled. But on this issue it looks like Trump has the public on his side.

The fire from the right was almost as fierce as that from the left. “It’s not conservative and it’s not realistic and it does not embrace American values,” said Jeb Bush.

Sen. Lindsey Graham called it “absolute gibberish.”

Conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer called the idea “crackpot” and “morally obscene.”

But the prize for overheated rhetoric goes to Hillary Clinton, who said Trump wants to “literally pull people out of their homes and their workplaces, round them up, put them, I don’t know, in buses, boxcars, in order to take them across our border.”

So what do these folks say about the fact that the majority of Americans back Trump on this?

The latest IBD/TIPP Poll asked 913 adults coast to coast if they “support or oppose mandatory deportation of illegal immigrants in the U.S.” Not surprisingly, 87% of Trump supporters back the proposal.

What’s surprising is that 59% of the overall public does as well. Mandatory deportation gets majority support in all age groups except 18-24, every income group, among both women and men, at every level of educational achievement, and in rural, urban and suburban regions.

More interesting still is the fact that 64% of independents and 55% of moderates support deportation.

Even among Hispanics, the poll found 40% backed mandatory deportation

“Clinton is particularly strong in her party, seen favorably by 80 percent of Democrats.”

The kool-aid drinkers are strong with this one ...

If true, then the Pubs don’t have a snow-ball’s chance in hell of winning the Presidency with anyone else either, because there are too many of us who are done forever with GOPe squishes like Jeb, Rubio, and the rest (Cruz excepting of course.)

There was a crew of Mexicans framing a house down the streeet the other day. I was tempted to yell “Viva Trump” as I walked by, but noticed a couple of them had nail guns.

I haven’t talked to anyone not supporting Trump and I talk politics everywhere I go with people of both parties. Sorry, I don’t buy the Trump doesn’t have a chance mantra. People I talk to are disgusted with politicians in DC. My neighbor, Union member and Democrat, is supporting Trump as is his wife.

Don’t be a tard. His unfavorables are skewed by minorities that don’t vote (or can’t), and don’t vote republican anyways.

His ratings are going up, not down.

This means nothing. It will all come down to who people will vote for when it comes down to the final two. Those republicans and independents who say they won’t vote for Trump I doubt would vote for clinton or a socialist.

If you are that sure you will obviously give me 1000-1 odds. He will win despite these fake polls.
