Clinton and Trump Struggling to Fire Up Their Bases, Poll Finds

Voters seemed to be inspired less by their favored candidate and more by their dislike for his or her rival. The poll finds about 80 percent of Trump and Clinton supporters feel their candidate’s opponent would do real damage to the country if elected. Fewer than half of supporters— 46 percent for Trump and 33 percent for Clinton—are "very enthusiastic" about their respective candidacies. Both candidates face an uphill battle to Election Day and with the first general election debate just two weeks away they both are running out of time to make an impression on undecided voters.
