American voters dislike Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

A record 61 percent have a negative view of the likely Democratic nominee, according to a Fox News poll released Wednesday. That’s up from 58 percent in March.

Fifty-six percent have an unfavorable view of Trump -- though that’s actually good news for Donald. Because it was 65 percent two months ago (that was a record high).

Thirty-seven percent have a favorable opinion of Clinton, down two points from 39 percent in March, establishing a new low. The likely Republican nominee’s favorable jumped over the same time period: 41 percent view Trump positively, up from 31 percent in March.

when the RNC and SOB like Romney stopped funding endless negative commercials Trump could start to have his personal characteristics start to help him with his negatives.

I know Hillary has a 100 million dollar buy of negative stuff, but , I think that the public is inoculated bad news.

Investors know when bad stuff is priced into a stock’s evaluation. Too bad the sages of the media elite don’t get this concept.

Trump can never be worse with women than Clinton. I hope the Beauty contestants come out to talk about the upside of how pageants helped them go thru college and get into businesses.

I hope the stories about how Clinton underpaid women vs. Trump parity of salaries and opportunities. Trump made progress on the “glass ceiling” and WHERE WAS HILLARY. Next time you speak to the campaign mention these facts, few people have been informed about.
Also, stories like the Ed MC Mahon story , Tell them, Trump did good while not taking credit, without people knowing. The Clinton foundation, how much percentage wise ever does good, I bet its shockingly low.
Clinton Foundation is a slush fund. Trump has a checkbook, he sees where he can do some good and help out folks, and he writes a check. Trump has zero overhead and 100% of his giving goes to the people who need help.

The Clintons start with making sure you know they have a foundation, get max publicity, and we don’t know how much of the pie actually reaches those who they help.

I think this is one area where the Trump campaign has done a poor job in comparing and contrasting his generosity vs. the Clinton Greed and Deception.

His negatives are image driven, and are fixable in 6 weeks.

Her negatives are character drivrn, and will only get worse.

Or as my wife said “Hilary’s negatives are overwhelming. .. and her poll numbers stink too!

People are realizing that Trump is not the Trump the media was portraying at his rallies.

The MSM and D.C. has been portraying Trump as an outspoken, insensitive, a bully, racist, and brash billionaire bozo. Of course he's none of those things if that's what you mean.

What Trump is a high energy, forthright non-PC person, who does not fear speaking his mind and cutting through all the BS.

Won’t be an issue, because she’s ahead in pledged delegates and there isn’t enough ground left that he can reasonably expect to catch up. The super delegates are just icing on the cake. It’d be a bad situation for her if he could get ahead in pledged delegates, so that the controversy of the supers swinging the election to Hillary could happen, but it’s not going to.

She’s still a weak candidate who I’m sure could’ve been beaten by anyone who ran and made it to the main debate stage except possibly for Bush or Trump. They might be able to beat her, but those are the only two I didn’t feel sure about.

Yep, this is a total repeat of what happened with Reagan.

The media had been shouting for a year that Reagan was a madman that would get us all killed if elected.

But... people actually got to judge for themselves and decided he wasn’t the madman the media had made him out to be and elected him in a landslide.

“Bernie supporters will line up nicely behind Hillary”

Just like Brutus supporters once lined up behind Julius Caesar!

Trump as an outspoken, insensitive, a bully, racist,

It wasn't until I started watching some of his rallies that I realized he was dead serious about this race and was connecting with the crowds in ways that scared the sh!t out of the media (and other candidates).

That's why they all had to lie about things Trump said and then lie about the kind of people who went to see him.

Trump got a bump because of the ending of the primary conflict. Hillary will too.

The only problem with that sentiment is that Donald Trump just kept winning. Hillary just keeps losing. She may get a bump, yes but I still like the trajectory of things.

It was just a short time ago that FoxNews was breathlessly reporting, and their echo chamber reverberating, that Trump’s negatives were higher than Hillary’s.

Let’s see how widely reported this news item is.

Hillary isn’t going anywhere, the Clinton’s are locked in for the nomination.

She's like that sleazy congressman Mike Grimm from NY who was indicted for corruption but still ran for re-election (and had to resign before he was sworn in again). The only difference is that Hillary will lose. But the Clintons have no shame - just remember Bill hanging on to the White House as the nation was discussing the size, shape and activities of his genitals. Most sane people would have resigned to shield themselves from that deep embarrassment, but power was too important for them. That said, I think they don't have the same resilience now that they did in the 1990s. I think they will fail.

I wouldn’t worry. Does anyone really think Hillary is going to be able to reinvent herself? The Clinton negatives are merely scratching the surface of what they could be. Now she could try some desperation VP pick but at the end of the day Hillary is going to be the face and voice of the Democrats.

Look, I want to remind you all, that Ted Cruz is the only one that’s beaten Trump time and time again, and is the only Republican that can beat Hillary in November.

You have to start weighing them.

A man dating and/or divorcing and together with his wives, raising phenominal children vs

A serial rapist....and add to that...doing an intern IN OUR WHITEHOUSE while being President of the US.

And don't forget....he was impeached, and he had a criminal record for lying under oath...

Exactly correct.

There is not going to be any easy or simple way to stop Hillary except at the voting booth on Nov.

She is destroying her own Party to get the nomination.
