Trump improves to meet Clinton neck-and-neck in latest poll
A slight improvement in Donald Trump's poll numbers has him neck-and-neck with Hillary Clinton less than a month out from the beginning of the general election season. The Quinnipiac University survey, released on Wednesday, gives Clinton a slight edge of 42 percent to Trump's 40 percent. Trump lagged 4 points behind Clinton at the beginning of June.
Sixty-one percent of voters also believe that the competition between the two candidates is leading to the increase of hate and prejudice in the U.S. "It would be difficult to imagine a less flattering from-the-gut reaction to Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton," the assistant director of the Quinnipiac University poll, Tim Malloy, said.
