According to the most recent WashingtonPost/ABC poll, Hillary Clinton’s unfavorable rating has reached an all time high, now at 55%. But she’s in good shape compared to Donald Trump. His unfavorable ratings is now at 70%. From the Washington Post,
Trump’s unfavorable rating, in fact, far surpasses Hillary Clinton’s even as the presumptive Democratic nominee receives her worst ratings in more than two decades in public life.
The poll finds 70 percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of Trump, including a 56 percent majority who feel this way “strongly.” Negative ratings of Trump are up 10 percentage points from last month to their highest point since he announced his candidacy last summer, nearly reaching the level seen before his campaign began (71 percent). The survey was conducted Wednesday through Sunday among a random national sample of U.S. adults, coming after last week’s primary contests, but with the large majority of interviews completed before Sunday’s massacre at an Orlando club.
Clinton is also seen negatively, with 43 percent reporting favorable impressions and 55 percent unfavorable. Attitudes have not significantly changed since last month, but negative views of the former secretary of state have technically ticked up to their highest level in all Post-ABC polls since 1992, when Clinton had yet to become first lady.
Hillary’s favorable rating have barely changed over the last year. Still only 43% of voters like her. A year ago 33% of voters viewed Trump favorably, now only 29% like him.

Ms. Martin,
Ms. Martin, I believe that you are an intelligent woman, so it is beyond me why you would believe in the Washington Post/ABC Poll? Have you actually seen the list of folks that they “randomly” contacted to create this poll? The data can be skewed to whatever they want it to say. You know that!
So, let me ask you and your readers a few questions:
Who will secure our borders? Clinton or Trump
Who will reform our tax code so that business will want to stay in the United States?
Clinton or Trump
Who will break up the toxic bureaucracy in the IRS? Clinton or Trump
Who will continue to downsize our military while every other country is building up their military (with our tax dollars)? Clinton or Trump
Who will continue to allow unvetted immigrants into our Country? Clinton or Trump
The VA is an agency that is so politically hidebound and unresponsive and rigid that some of our Veterans wait 5 or 6 months to get an appointment. Title 5 of the Federal Code and the unions continue to maintain, promote, and support a culture of intolerance, dissenting views, and contradictory opinions without any commitment to the men and women that have served our Country. Do you think Clinton or Trump will demand changes that the unions oppose?
In an article entitled “Ben Carson News” you will find the following statement:
“After 9/11 under [President] George W. Bush, there was not another
Terrorist attack on American soil, … But in the [seven and a half] years of
Barack Obama, there have been 45 incidents on American soil costing hundreds of lives.”
Hillary Clinton has been in bed with the Muslim Brotherhood for years and this is just one of many unsavory organizations that she has been associated with, so who do you think will keep us safe? Clinton or Trump
Who will answer the 3am phone call from our military men/women in harms way that need help?
Clinton or Trump
The Washington Post/ABC and most of the main street media minimize and or ignore negative stories about Hillary Clinton and always maximize the negative stories about Republicans, Conservatives, and/or Tea Party folks.
As you know, if you tell a lie long enough it becomes the truth. The same applies to negative comments about a candidate.
If you continue to publish negative comments about Trump, Hillary Clinton will be our next President. Is that what you want?
Breaking news. Trump more unfavorable than Hillary Clinton in latest GOP insider blog polls. Dope smoker third party candidate now favored to win white house.
The polls I’ve seen to date suggest Gary Johnson’s votes would come from votes that would go to Trump in a two-way race. But Clinton and Trump have leaned pretty far left and right, respectively, so far. Would that make a centrist third party candidate attractive to disaffected Hillary voters as well? That candidate would still be unlikely to win, but could make the race even more unpredictable than it already is.
The general election is not unpredictable. Trump will continue his self-absorbed, incoherent, and reckless campaign of slash and burn. He will lose in a landslide. The unpopular Clinton will trounce an even less popular Trump.
Guess this could be a pretty low turnout general election.
