The latest NBC News/Survey Monkey poll out Tuesday reveals that the majority of Americans dislike, or even hate, Clinton and Trump. Nearly 60 percent say they don't like the former secretary of state, while slightly more — 63 percent — have bad feelings towards Trump.
That intense dislike doesn't seem to be balanced out by exceptional fondness, either. The poll found that just four in 10 voters say they either "admire" or "like" Clinton. Just 36 percent say the same about Trump.
