Process Yields Two Evils, Lesser One Wins

A couple of times recently we've written about the less-than-wonderful choice the political process seems to be dishing up for November. Now CBS News reports on the favorability of the leading candidates of both parties.

More than half of the states have held a primary or caucus, and registered voters nationwide now hold negative opinions of the political parties' current frontrunners. More than half of voters have unfavorable views of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump; each has a net negative rating in the double-digits.

That net negative rating is their unfavorables minus their favorables. CBS has been asking this question of presidential candidates since 1984 and the unfavorable ratings of Clinton and Trump - 52% and 57% respectively - are the highest yet recorded. Bummer.
