CNN/ORC poll: Clinton tops Trump on presidential traits

Washington (CNN)If Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, the respective front-runners in the race for the Democratic and Republican nominations for president, wind up leading their respective parties into the general, voters nationwide think Clinton would most likely win in the November election, according to a new CNN/ORC Poll.


The poll also finds Clinton would start the general election contest with an edge over Trump on several potential presidential qualifications, with the former secretary of state widely seen as better able to handle the responsibilities of being commander in chief, more in touch with the middle class and more often aligned with Americans' views on important issues.

Overall, 56% say they think Clinton would win a match-up between the two leading candidates in November while 42% say Trump would take it. Democratic voters are more convinced that Clinton would win (87% say she would) than Republicans are about Trump (75% say he would win), and Republican voters who aren't currently backing Trump are particularly skeptical of his chances. Among that group, 40% say Clinton would win, 57% Trump, vs. 92% of Trump supporters who think he would win in November.................





There are steep divides on each of these questions by gender, race and education, with women, non-whites and those with college degrees more apt to choose Clinton in each positive statement tested, but little of the age gap that defined the presidential elections that brought Barack Obama to the presidency and is currently prevalent in the Democratic nomination fight.

.............................
.
Sanders notches the highest overall favorability among registered voters, with 48% viewing him positively vs. 45% unfavorably. That's a steep drop since last month, when 60% of registered voters overall had a positive take on the Vermont senator. Sanders has seen his ratings slip among registered Democrats and Republicans during that time, and independents' impressions of him are now evenly divided.

[bkkyosemite]

1. It is not over. We are in the primary. Anyone would look better than Trump.

[man of few w]

3. True

But Clinton will be our nominee.

[bkkyosemite]

5. Not over yet.

[man of few w]

11. B is entirely up to you all

Want President Trump?

[Dawgs]

13. No. We want Bernie. n/t

[Contrary1]

17. No it's not...

If Hillary doesn't win, it will be because she couldn't talk the Independents into voting for her.

[man of few w]

22. So, Sanders supporters will stay home? Is that what you're saying?

If so, enjoy the Hell you'll be foisting on all of us!

[Contrary1]

30. Nope...didn't say that.

I won't be "foisting" anything. Sanders supporters aren't all Democrats, you know.

[Shadowflash]

27. The same thing the GOP does to get votes

Fear! Fear!

There is no good reason to vote for me, but look how bad the OTHER guy would be. You CAN'T let that happen!

Yeah. I'm done voting like that.

[Beacool]

19. Queen? No, just the person with more pledged delegates.

[ConservativeDemocrat]

23. Notice the implicit sexism of the comment you're responding to?

Would anyone ever attack a man in a primary, using the word "king" in a pejorative sense?

A lot of Sandernistas are real pieces of work, let me tell you.

31. And you name calling Hillary is shameful Grow up

[riversedge]

33. You dissed Hillary by name-calling is the subject matter. Distraction

is a cop out.

[Omaha Steve]

34. I took it down several hours ago and not a single thank you

Nice you worried about name calling of Hillary but not a DUer.

[stonecutter357]

2. K&R!

[Vinca]

4. I imagine 99% of the population exceeds Trump in presidential traits.

[olddad56]

35. there are probably people on death row that top trump Donald in presidential traits,

even GWB, who should be on death row, trumps Donald in presidential traits.

[mainstreetonce]

7. Clinton's got the edge

Hill yes!

[fun n serious]

8. Sanders should stay in longer according to this...

"Sanders notches the highest overall favorability among registered voters, with 48% viewing him positively vs. 45% unfavorably. That's a steep drop since last month, when 60% of registered voters overall had a positive take on the Vermont senator. Sanders has seen his ratings slip among registered Democrats and Republicans during that time, and independents' impressions of him are now evenly divided."

Keeps droppng

[Plucketeer]

9. Gee - I wonder why...............

" Sanders has seen his ratings slip among registered Democrats and Republicans during that time, and independents' impressions of him are now evenly divided."

Hmmm.... Couldn't be thanks to the corrupt media feeding us weighted facts, projections and attitudes, could it? NAH - they're so even-handed! And their masters would NEVER EVER give a CENT to anyone's campaign (like for future favors) - would they? Would they?

[riversedge]

10. 'getting to know him' getting to know all about him"--tis the reason

[Plucketeer]

12. Yeah - too bad Hillary and the smoke 'n mirrors DNC

keeps Hill from being recognized as the snake oil purveyor she is.

[RoccoR5955]

14. Yeah, especially when we tell them that he's a

Hippie Commie bastard who never had a job in his life.
When we tell them that he's a socialist who wants the government to take over all means of production.

Yep, getting to know him from the LIES that are being put out by the opposition, and the lack of coverage by the MSM will bring this about.

If people heard as much about Bernie, as they even have heard about Kasich, Clinton, even Kris Krispy Kreme, they would like Bernie more.

[JoFerret]

36. Yep. Trouble is re Bernie

... that he's still spouting graduate school. Sounds good. Is good. But absolutely nothing more than words. Time for him to do the right thing and put his support into the down-ticket races and support the "revolution" with action not just words.
With Hillary in the lead - and Bernie working for the filibuster-proof congress either of them needs to get anything done - we could have a hope for positive change.

[LannyDeVaney]

15. She tops every single candidate left on Presidential traites ...

and it's not even close.

Thankfully, she is also the only candidate who is exceeding their delegate targets for the nomination.

In other words, it is very, very likely that we will have our first female President soon.

[DCBob]

16. That would be a massive blowout.

[Dawson Leery]

18. Bernie's favorability has dropped below 50%

The more he is known, the less he is liked?!? Seems so.

[Contrary1]

21. Evidently, your statement also applies to Hillary:

Clinton:
Favorable ----- 41.2%
Unfavorable --- 54.2%

Sanders:
Favorable ----- 49.2%
Unfavorable --- 40.5%

[thesquanderer]

29. And if you look at those who haven't formed an opinion yet...

less than 5% don't have an opinion either way about Hillary, but over 10% haven't yet formed an opinion about Bernie. Let's say ALL 10% decide they don't like him, and we add those to his unfavorables... he STILL wouldn't have as high an unfavorable rating as Hillary.

[Gamecock Lefty]

20. This whole silliness about . . .

how the more we get to know Sanders the more we like him, like America is just getting to know Sanders, is nonsense.

So here’s my question. If we’re just now getting to know him then what the hell has he been doing in the Senate all these years – nothing? Or when he was in the House? Why hasn’t America gotten to know him by now???

[DrBulldog]

26. Take a look at today's nation Bloomberg Poll, beak-face.

That will ruffle your feathers.

[thesquanderer]

28. How many senators or house members are well-known country-wide?

Mostly only the media whores who work to get themselves in front of the camera every chance they get.

So of the ones who ARE well known, how many are know for substantial accomplishment or outstanding reputation of some sort?

[Tarheel_Dem]

24. But..but, I thought BS had already won.

[DrBulldog]

25. "Human being tops Trump on Presidential traits."

You know, that's not really saying very much.
