WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Seven in 10 Americans have an unfavorable view of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, up 10 percent from the previous survey in mid-May, according to a poll by Langer Research Associates for ABC News and the Washington Post that was released on Wednesday.
"Trump’s result reverses a boost he received after securing the Republican presidential nomination, from 37-60 percent favorable-unfavorable in mid-May to 29-70 percent now, after a week in which he took sharp criticism for suggesting that he was being treated unfairly by a federal judge because of the judge’s Mexican heritage," a press release explaining the poll revealed.
Rival Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, received no boost from having secured her party’s nomination, with a 43-55 percent favorable-unfavorable rating in mid-June that was nearly identical to the 44-53 percent rating a month earlier.
