Politico: Poll
By Nick Gass
July 15, 2015
Americans
have increasingly positive views of Republican presidential candidate
Donald Trump since his remarks on immigration, though many more still
dislike him by nearly
a 2-to-1 margin, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll
released Wednesday.
Thirty-three
percent of those surveyed said they had a favorable view of the
billionaire real-estate mogul, while 61 percent said they did not.
Still, that is an improvement
from the last ABC News/Washington Post poll, conducted in May before
Trump’s campaign announcement, when 71 percent viewed him unfavorably
and just 16 percent said they had a favorable impression of him.
Among
Hispanics, however, his negatives are soaring. Just 13 percent said
they have a positive opinion of Trump, who last month said undocumented
immigrants who are “rapists”
and “killers” are coming across the border from Mexico and other
countries. Eighty-one percent of Hispanics said they have an unfavorable
impression of him.
The
only groups that see Trump favorably are Republicans and strong
conservatives, according to the poll. Republicans view Trump favorably
by a margin of 57 percent to
40 percent, while those identifying as very conservative view him
favorably by a margin of 55 percent to 37 percent. Among all whites, 53
percent see him unfavorably, along with 74 percent of nonwhites, 58
percent of independents and 60 percent of moderates.
Among
Democrats, Hillary Clinton’s favorability rating (52 percent to 45
percent) tops that of Bernie Sanders’ (27 percent to 28 percent), though
a plurality (45 percent)
of those surveyed said they had no opinion of the independent Vermont
senator.
The
poll was conducted July 8-12 via landline and cellphones in English and
Spanish, surveying a random national sample of 1,011 adults. The
results carry a margin of
error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
