This poll asked voters what words they associate with the presidential candidates and the results are great


First word you think of when you hear "Clinton?"
Did you think, "Liar?" Because, if so, you join the majority of voters who were responding to a question posed in the latest Quinnipiac University poll. Clinton conjures up "liar," Trump brings to mind "arrogant," and, in one of the greatest Quinnipiac poll answers of all time, Bush makes people think, well, "Bush."
And hey, by the way, Biden, you're up — the vice president, who hasn't announced his candidacy, surpasses Clinton in the polls as the best chance against Democrats' Republican competition, boasting the highest favorability rating among voters of any political standing. Conversely, on a quest to define "polarizing," Trump stays ahead of the GOP field by a wide margin, but also tops the "no way" list for Republicans, too.
