These numbers are from a new Economist / YouGov Poll -- done between July 18th and 20th of a random national sample of 1,000 adults, with a margin of error of about 4 points.
Note that these numbers are not just for Republicans or Democrats. They represent the views of the entire survey sample. The candidate with the highest favorable ratings are Hillary Clinton (45%) and Joe Biden (43%). The candidates with the highest unfavorable ratings are Donald Trump (60%) and Jeb Bush (49%). Those with a low combined favorable and unfavorable rating have a large number of people who say they just don't know enough about them to give a rating.
As with Obama, it bothers me that Clinton is below water. What do people want? Have we just become a cynical population? Easy cynicism is one of the most dangerous attitudes in a democracy.
ReplyDeleteWOW!! You scared me there for a second as I misread the chart and thought over 60% of the rather ignorant population were really stupid and FAVORED The bad wig guy!!!
