The coming presidential race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump begins in a virtual dead heat, a competition between two candidates viewed unfavorably by a majority of the current electorate and with voters motivated as much by whom they dont like as by whom they do, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
Never in the history of the Post-ABC poll have the two major party nominees been viewed as harshly as Clinton and Trump.
Clintons net negative rating among registered voters is minus-16, while Trumps is
minus-17, though Trumps numbers have improved since March.
... the survey foreshadows a hard-fought, competitive and negative general election.
At this point, the two candidates are in a statistical dead heat among registered voters, with Trump favored by 46 percent and Clinton favored by 44 percent.
That represents an 11-point shift toward the presumptive Republican nominee since March.
