An Associated Press-GfK poll released early Monday has some soft numbers for Democrat Hillary Clinton, but she beats Republican frontrunner Donald Trump in almost every question the poll asked. Voters trust Clinton significantly more than Trump when it comes to immigration, health care, Supreme Court nominees, international trade, working with Congress, and handling the U.S. image abroad. By smaller margins, she beats Trump on which candidate voters trust more to protect the U.S. (37 percent to 31 percent) and manage the economy (38 percent to 35 percent), and Clinton blows him out of the water on handling gender equality issues, 55 percent to 12 percent.
Clinton even bests Trump when it comes to making America great — Trump's slogan — 33 percent to 28 percent; 30 percent said they didn't think either candidate is up to the task. Even on numbers where Clinton is weak, like the 20 percent who say she represents their views very well on matters they care about (and 23 percent who say somewhat well), Trump fares worse — 15 percent very well, 14 percent somewhat well. The poll was conducted March 31-April 4 with 1,076 adults, and has a margin of error of ± 3.3 percentage points.
