Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks to supporters and bikers at a Rolling Thunder rally at the National Mall in Washington, Sunday, May 29. | AP Photo Poll: 7 in 10 Americans see Trump unfavorably

Seven in 10 Americans have an unfavorable view of Donald Trump, according to the results of the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll out Wednesday, which also finds Hillary Clinton's image slipping, albeit less severely. Overall, both candidates are the least popular presumptive nominees for a major party in the poll's history, dating back more than three decades, to 1984.

A full 70 percent said they hold an unfavorable opinion of the presumptive Republican nominee, an increase of 10 points since the May survey. A little less than one in three, 29 percent, said they have a favorable view of Trump, down from 37 percent who said the same last month.


Clinton did not receive any boost from clinching the Democratic nomination last week, with 43 percent holding a favorable opinion of the former secretary of state and 55 percent seeing her in an unfavorable light. Last month, 44 percent gave her favorable marks, while 53 percent saw her unfavorably. The 55 percent unfavorable rating in the June survey, while within the margin of error, is Clinton's lowest in the poll since the public was first asked its opinion on her in March 1992.

Among Republicans, Trump's favorability numbers dipped 12 points from a net positive 43 points in May (71 percent to 28 percent) to 31 points this time (65 percent to 34 percent). Clinton's favorability dropped slightly among Democrats, down a net of six points from May (77 percent to 21 percent) to June's figures (75 percent to 25 percent).

Along racial lines, 39 percent of whites said they have a favorable view of Clinton, compared to 61 percent who see her unfavorably, while all other racial and ethnic groups have a largely positive opinion of the Democratic candidate. As far as Trump is concerned, 94 percent of blacks said they see him unfavorably, as do 89 percent of Hispanics and 88 percent of all other non-whites. Among whites, Trump is 20 points under, at 39 percent to 59 percent, dropping a net 17 points from a relative 47 percent favorable, 50 percent unfavorable split in May.

Langer Research Associates conducted the poll via landlines and cellphones from June 8-12, surveying a random national sample of 1,000 adults. The sample carries a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
