Trustworthiness among the Americans was the only concern for Hilary Clinton right after she kicked off her election campaign. But that turned out to be a nightmare for Hilary with the passage of time that kept following her. However, a large section of Americans still don’t trust her much but when its comes to comparison with Donald Trump, Americans more widely trust Hilary more.
Is It a Victory for Hilary and Defeat for Trump?
Well, this can’t be said with any surety but yes Donald Trump failed to capitalise the untrustworthy image of Hilary and lost people’s confidence in him.
To prove that, we have the results of a recent poll conducted by Associated Press-GfK, in which people were asked about whom they trust more on a variety of issues. And the results were widely favourable fo Hilary.
Following are the issues which were asked for opinion among American people and the results are as given below:
National Security:
Voters are closely split on which candidate would better handle protecting the country, with 40 percent trusting Clinton more and 37 percent trusting Trump more. They’re evenly divided on who would better handle the threat posed by the Islamic State group, with 38 percent saying they trust each candidate.
Jobs Handling:
Clinton has a big edge over Trump on who would do a better job handling the US image abroad, 47 percent to 27 percent.
Economic Issues:
Donald Trump is more favourable, but with a really narrow margin voters are about equally split on which candidate would better handle the economy, 39 percent for Trump to 38 percent for Clinton.
Maintaining Unity:
Americans are more likely to trust Clinton than Trump as the candidate who can unite the country, 35 percent to 24 percent. But just as many say they don’t trust either candidate as say they trust Clinton more.
Other Issues:
American voters say they trust Clinton more than Trump by large margins to handle health care, 42 percent to 29 percent, and race relations, 48 percent to 20 percent. By a 40 percent to 33 percent margin, more trust the former secretary of state to handle negotiating with Russia.
Clinton has slimmer edges on filling Supreme Court vacancies, 39 percent to 34 percent, and handling international trade, 40 percent to 34 percent.
