(21,506 posts)15. Again Trump fairs worse
I am not saying she is our best candidate only that by every metric she beats trump.

On the Republican side, Trump scores a net negative of -33, with a favorable rating of 24% compared to 57% of voters who view him unfavorably. On the Democratic side, Clinton fares only slightly better with a net negative of -21, registering a 31% favorable rating and a 52% unfavorable rating, according to the poll.
Independents?

That poll found that 20% of independents viewed Mrs. Clinton positively, compared with 62% who viewed her negatively.
Mr. Trumps standing among independents is even worse than that of his would-be general-election rival. Just 19% of independents viewed Mr. Trump favorably in the latest poll, while 67% had a negative opinion.

Not good for either of them but again she doesn't have a lock on independent Scorn.. Trump does worse than her there as well.
As far as left VS right Trump has it far worse.

Even among Republicans, 1-in-5 have a very unfavorable view of Trump, while only 31% view him very favorably. And conservatives are likelier to have a very unfavorable view of Trump than very favorable, 33% to 23%.
Far fewer people have a very unfavorable opinion of Clinton than Trump 40% to Trumps 51% and she scores much better among Democrats than Trump does among Republicans

Hillary is certainly not the most well liked candidate, She is however better liked than trump and her base likes her much more than Trumps base does.
This doesn't even begin to address all the voter blocks Trump has actively alienated like women who comprise over 50% of the electorate and that Hillary is currently walking away with with almost 70% support.

Once again all this can be traced back to Reagan, Nixon, and the Southern Strategy.
