A new poll from NBC News and the Wall Street Journal shows that 64 percent of voters are concerned about “[Hillary] Clinton’s use of a private email server during her time as secretary of state.”
Despite Clinton and her campaign’s repeated attempts to downplay the email controversy, the poll shows voters aren’t buying their explanations.
The poll isn’t all bad news for Clinton, however. It found that 69 percent of voters have concerns about “Trump’s comments and language about women, immigrants and Muslims.” About two-thirds of Americans are concerned that Trump doesn’t have “the right temperament to serve as commander in chief.”
Though it’s less than half the country, it’s still telling that 44 percent of voters have concerns about Clinton’s recent health issues, while 45 percent have concerns with Clinton’s comment that “You can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables… Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it.”
Just more than half of voters are concerned about Trump not releasing his tax returns, and almost 60 percent are concerned about his praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
