Trump's Popularity Rises, Still 2-1 Negative, While Clinton Regains Positive Territory

Fifty-two percent see Clinton favorably, up 7 points from late May, while 45 percent see her negatively – putting her popularity back above water, if not broadly so. The result reverses a 22-point drop in favorability from her peak in January 2013.

Clinton’s improved the most since May among minorities, including Hispanics (up 17 points) and blacks (+12 points), as well as a mix of other groups, including Northeasterners (+16), “somewhat” conservatives (+14) and young adults (+12).



Clinton’s popularity in a comparatively uncluttered Democratic field reflects her better performance relative to Bush and Trump among her partisan and ideological base, as well as some key demographic groups. She’s viewed positively by 82 percent of Democrats, for example, while 63 and 57 percent of Republicans like Bush and Trump, respectively.

That's just a poll ... and you know what polls mean this far out!

Better we put our faith in Internet polls with a sample size of 54.

88% Positive
6% Negative

among all African Americans


66% Positive
29% Negative


among all Hispanics


I put all in italics because there are a small amount of black Republicans and a substantially larger amount of Hispanic Republicans and that colors the results especially for the latter group.
