Quinnipiac: Hillary, Trump Almost Unelectable

John Hinderaker of Power Line blog reports the findings of a Quinnipiac poll which don't look good for Hillary Clinton. The folks at Q asked, for each presidential aspirant, whether people felt positive or negative about them, or didn't know enough to answer. They also asked about trustworthiness.

The candidate who, based on these numbers, simply doesn’t have a path to the presidency is Hillary Clinton. On favorability, she comes in at 41/55/2. That last number is the key: 98% of respondents have their minds made up.

This grim result is amplified by the poll’s findings on trustworthiness. Asked, would you say that Hillary Clinton is honest and trustworthy, or not? 32% say yes, while an extraordinary 63% say no. Only 5% are undecided. The other candidates of both parties are generally judged honest and trustworthy.

The other candidate who stands out as an anomaly is Donald Trump. His net favorability score is even worse than Hillary’s at 36/57/5. And, like Mrs. Clinton, Trump is a figure about whom just about everyone has formed an opinion. On honesty and trustworthiness, too, Trump is an outlier. 35% consider him honest and trustworthy, while 57% say he is not, and 8% have no opinion.

Based on this Quinnipiac data, it appears that the candidates with the worst chances of winning the presidential race are Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

Unless both get their party's nomination; in which case one of the two will win in spite of the crappy numbers.
