American voters unhappy by state of US politics: Poll

As the long-winding 2016 US Presidential elections nears its end, a poll found that an overwhelming majority of voters are not happy with the state of American politics. The voters also see Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and her rival Donald Trump as dishonest and incapable of uniting the country after the elections.<br/><br/>The New York Times/CBS News Poll also said, both Clinton and Trump are seen by a majority of voters as unlikely to unite the country after the election season. Clinton, who had been able to register double digit lead over Trump, has seen the gap narrowed considerably but still has an edge in the survey because of a commanding advantage among women and nonwhite voters.<br/><br/>The poll found that she has the support of 45 per cent of likely voters as compared Trump's 42 per cent. Clinton holds a 14-point advantage over her opponent among women, while Trump leads among men by 11 points. The Times/CBS poll was conducted after fresh revelations by the FBI over Clinton's emails yet about six in 10 voters overall said, the last minute disclosures about each candidate would make no real difference in their votes.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama has acknowledged that the presidential elections between Hillary Clinton of his Democratic party and her Republican rival Donald Trump would be close and urged his supporters to go out and vote in large numbers. He was addressing several thousands of his supporters at an election rally yesterday in Jacksonville, Florida – a key battleground state.
