Majority of US Voters Say Clinton, Trump Would Not Make Good President

American voters consider neither Donald Trump nor Hillary Clinton to be a good US president, a poll showed.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Most US voters say they do not think either presumptive Democratic or Republican presidential nominee Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump would be a good president of the United States, a Quinnipiac University poll revealed on Wednesday.

"Voters find themselves in the middle of a mean-spirited, scorched earth campaign between two candidates they don’t like," Assistant Director of the poll, Tim Malloy, stated. "And they don’t think either candidate would be a good president."
