Not that they believe either presidential candidate has cornered the market on honesty, more likely voters believe that Republican Donald Trump is "more honest" than Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Rasmussen Reports on Wednesday said that 30 percent believe Trump "is more honest than most other politicians."

When it comes for Clinton, said the pollster, "Just half as many — 15 percent — think Clinton is more honest than most of her peers."

The honesty gap for Clinton is evident even among Democrats. For example, only 27 percent believe Clinton is more honest than other politicians. But 50 percent of Republicans believe Trump is more honest than other politicians.

Overall, more than four in 10 likely voters polled believe both Clinton and Trump are less honest than most other politicians.

Clinton has been dogged by trust and honest issues, which flared anew last week when she was hit again on her email scandal.
