"According to the poll, 35 percent of voters expressed negative views of both Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump — the highest recorded percentage of negative outlook on record since 1984. In fact, the number of voters with a negative outlook of both candidates never passed 9 percent, which was recorded in 1992.
On the other side of the spectrum, only two percent of voters reported a positive outlook of both nominees. When it came to individual parties, 33 percent of voters expressed positive views of Clinton only, while 24 percent expressed positive opinions of only Trump.
“This is truly extraordinary. It seems like a significant number of voters are backing a presidential candidate about whom they cannot say anything positive,” Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute, said in a statement Monday."
