Too Close to Call, Deeply Divided

A new Quinnipiac Poll is out today, with results a Republican can like. Some examples:
Democrat Hillary Clinton has 42 percent to Republican Donald Trump's 40 percent - too close to call.

American voters are deeply divided along gender, racial, age and party lines. Women back Clinton 50 - 33 percent while men back Trump 47 - 34 percent.

White voters back Trump 47 - 34 percent. Black voters back Clinton 91 - 1 percent and Hispanic voters back her 50 - 33 percent. Voters 18 to 34 years old go Democratic 48 - 23 percent, while voters over 65 years old go Republican 51 - 35 percent.

Democrats go to Clinton 89 - 3 percent, as Republicans go to Trump 84 - 6 percent. Independent voters are divided with 36 percent for Trump and 34 percent for Clinton.

Trump will not be a good president, American voters say 58 - 35 percent.

Clinton will not be a good president, voters say 53 - 43 percent.
Wow! A majority of Americans say both Clinton and Trump "will not be a good president." The process between now and November will be a hate-fest. Negative ads will fill the media, and be effective. Whoever is elected will take office in a bitter atmosphere.
