In a new poll released Thursday by The New York Times and CBS News, the former Secretary of State and likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton leads billionaire buffoon and presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump by six points – 47 to 41 – among general election voters.
While the survey shows both Trump and Clinton with favorability ratings under water, Trump performs slightly poorer with a 55 percent unfavorable rating among the broader electorate. Clinton is seen in an unfavorable light by 52 percent of voters.
About half of those surveyed believe the former Secretary of State has the right kind of temperament to be president, while seven out of 10 said Trump does not.
Trump’s dismal performance among key voting blocs gives Clinton the edge going into November, the poll shows.
Among women voters, a whopping 60 percent view Trump unfavorably. A scant 14 percent of voters under the age of 30 view him positively, and nearly 70 percent of nonwhite voters have a negative opinion of Trump – a kiss of death to any candidate hoping to win a national election in 2016.
As the presumptive GOP nominee faces heat for keeping his tax returns private, the survey showed that six in 10 voters believe that any candidate running for president should make the records available to the public.
More good news for Clinton, the New York Times/CBS News poll noted, is the fact that President Obama’s approval rating hit a three-year high. Fifty percent of Americans now approve of the current president’s job performance, while just 43 percent disapprove.
The likely Democratic nominee remains in an increasingly heated primary campaign against Bernie Sanders. Like Trump, she is likely to see her numbers rise once she is the presumptive nominee.
Still, less than six months before voters will choose the 45th president, Hillary Clinton remains the favorite in a likely contest with Donald Trump.
