2016 Brought Out Worst in People

Seven percent report ending friendship over presidential race
West Long Branch, NJ - More than 2-in-3 voters say that this year's presidential race has brought out the worst in people and most disapprove of the campaign's harsh rhetoric. The latest Monmouth University Poll also finds that "dissatisfaction" rather than "anger" is the word that better characterizes voters' feelings about the federal government. Poll results also show that opinion on terrorism has not changed much even after the recent bombings in New York and New Jersey.
"Half of Trump supporters seem to be saying let the expletives fly, but many voters blame both sides equally for the negative tone of this year's campaign," said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.
When asked who tends to engage in harsh language more, half of voters (50%) put the blame equally on both Trump and Clinton supporters. However, 37% say more of this language is coming from the Trump camp and just 11% say the Clinton camp is more to blame. Not surprisingly, most Clinton backers (68%) put the blame on the Trump crowd with 28% blaming both sides equally. Trump backers, though, are more likely to blame both candidates equally (67%) rather than point the finger at Clinton supporters (23%).
