This poll result shows Donald Trump's single biggest problem VOX

A majority of American voters simply don’t think Trump's qualified to serve as president. And the problem goes beyond qualifications — they don’t think he has the personality or temperament to serve as president (67 to 31 percent), they don’t think he has a solid understanding of world affairs (64 to 33 percent), and they don’t think he’s honest and trustworthy (62 to 34 percent).

This is how Trump’s candidacy differs from Clinton’s -- in terms of competency. Not a day goes by without media implying that Hillary Clinton's unfavorable ratings will keep her from being elected president. It's the only poll result the media cares about, along with the trust issue. In the new Washington Post/ABC News poll, the 50 percent unfavorable rating Clinton posts is better than Trump’s 63 percent unfavorable rating. More important and consistently in polls, while many Americans don’t like Hillary Clinton personally, they do believe she can do the job. Majorities think her qualified to serve as president, compared to Trump (60 to 38 percent), that she has the personality and temperament to serve as president (61 to 38 percent), and say she has a solid knowledge of world affairs (72 to 25 percent).

If these poll results applied to anyone but Hillary Clinton, the media would call them 'formidable'.

GOP Senator Susan Collins: Why I Can't Support Trump Washington Post

It's true that Sen. Collins says that she can't support either major presidential candidate. Perhaps. Hillary Clinton did co-host her bridal shower a couple years back. The voting booth is private for a reason and there is strong speculation that Collins will run for governor of Maine in the future.

"I had hoped that we would see a “new” Donald Trump as a general-election candidate — one who would focus on jobs and the economy, tone down his rhetoric, develop more thoughtful policies and, yes, apologize for ill-tempered rants. But the unpleasant reality that I have had to accept is that there will be no “new” Donald Trump, just the same candidate who will slash and burn and trample anything and anyone he perceives as being in his way or an easy scapegoat. Regrettably, his essential character appears to be fixed, and he seems incapable of change or growth."

Among the most prominent signatories are Michael V. Hayden, a former director of both the C.I.A. and the National Security Agency; John D.

Donald Trump's Support Among Republican Women Starts To Slide New York Times

Donald Trump comes from the 'never let them see you sweat' school of publicity. Everything is just great, according to the Trumpster, even though Republican women are leaving the candidate by the droves. A recent series of defections by high-profile Republican women are grabbing the attention of rank and file Repubican women, as leaders put 'country before party' with promises to oppose Mr. Trump as being emotionally unfit and unstable for the presidency and also a "menace to national security".

“For people like me, who are Republican but reasonable and still have our brains attached, it’s hard to see Trump as a reasonable, sane Republican,” said Dina Vela, a project manager in San Antonio who said she had always voted Republican and remained wary of Hillary Clinton. But to her own surprise, she has started visiting Mrs. Clinton’s campaign website and plans to vote for her.

Donald Trump needs a miracle to win Washington Post

DO NOT LET UP!! We must BLOW TRUMP out of the water. We must send his orange hair mop and crude antics packing with a roar that this is NOT America, flawed as we are. Because another bigot will be standing in line behind him, and if the election is close, that right-winger led by angry white men without education will also claim the mantle of the presidency. AND we must work in state legislatures to bring common sense governing into the states. NO MORE WAR ON WOMEN'S BODIES!!! So do NOT let up! ~ Anne

"Journalistic neutrality allegedly forces us to say that the race isn’t over until November, and most media organizations prefer to hype the presidential contest to generate viewers and readers rather than explain why a photo finish is unlikely.

But a dispassionate examination of the data, combined with a cold-blooded look at the candidates, the campaigns and presidential elections, produces only one possible conclusion: Hillary Clinton will defeat Donald Trump in November, and the margin isn’t likely to be as close as Barack Obama’s victory over Mitt Romney."
