New survey finds Trump more honest than Clinton  

Published on: November 2, 2016 11:00 PM

WASHINGTON: Bummer. Republican candidate Donald Trump is more honest than his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, according to a latest Washington Post-ABC News tracking poll. “A 59 percent majority of likely voters disapprove of Clinton’s handling of questions about her use of personal email while secretary of state. This number, however, is no higher than the 60 percent who disapproved just over one week ago,” the newspaper wrote. The survey found Trump opened up an eight-point advantage over Clinton on which candidate is more honest and trustworthy, leading 46 to 38 percent among likely voters. The Republicans are united in their criticism of Clinton’s handling of questions about her email use while secretary of state, with 90 percent saying they disapprove of her response including 85 percent who disapprove “strongly.” Meanwhile, 67 percent of independents disapprove of Clinton’s handling of questions on this issue, and even 29 percent of Democrats give her negative marks for the way she’s addressed the email issue. Among Democrats, the share saying Clinton is more honest than Trump has dipped from 86 percent in early September to 76 percent today; Republicans have changed little in their view that Trump is more honest (86 percent then, 87 percent now). The Washington Post-ABC News Tracking Poll was conducted by telephone October 28-31 among a random national sample of 1,773 adults including landline and cell phone respondents. Low Black Turnout: African-Americans are failing to vote early in big number what they did four years ago. Clinton would certainly be the main casualty of decline in the percentage of early voters. Usually, in the United States elections the early voters tend to vote for the Democrats. The early voting means, any register voter can cast vote anytime before the Election Day. According to The New York Times, the reasons for the decline appear to be both political and logistical, with lower voter enthusiasm and newly enacted impediments to voting at play. In North Carolina, black turnout is down by 16 percent. In Florida, African-Americans share of the electorate that has gone to the polls in person so far has decreased to 15 percent. The disappointing black turnout so far could foreshadow a larger and more intractable problem for Clinton and the Democratic Party as they rethink their place in a post-Obama era. It has been observed that African-Americans were taking less interest in the upcoming elections because Barack Obama, the first black president, was not on the ticket.
