Election 2016 Update: Poll Gives Donald Trump Edge On Hillary Clinton But More Than Half Of Voters Dislike Both Candidates
May 22, 2016

The latest Washington Post-ABC poll indicated both Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump are disliked by more than half of the electorate.

The poll, released Sunday, showed 57 percent of the 1,005 adults queried last Monday through Wednesday had negative opinions of both candidates. The two presumptive candidates also appeared to be in a dead heat among registered voters, with Trump favored over Clinton at 46 percent to 44 percent. This is compared with a March poll that indicated Clinton had a 9-point lead. Among all adults, Clinton leads Trump 48 percent to 42 percent, down from March’s 18-point lead.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has vowed to remain an active campaigner until the last primary votes are cast even though he is given little chance of securing the Democratic presidential nomination, is viewed most positively among the three presidential candidates.

1. So how the hell did we get here?

2. I agree with that, attacking Hillary & Bill Clinton have been a cottage industry

for Republicans for nearly 30 years. But then again Bernie Sanders has only been subjected to a
very few mild attacks from Hillary Clinton and the Republicans haven't laid a glove on him. I just
think once he would be the nominee the Republicans would tear him down in very short order. So we are
stuck with a very unpopular front runner and a very questionable alternative. I wish I could just go to sleep
until it is over, it is going to be ugly and I would give odds on Trump winning whoever we nominate.
