Americans think Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton is about as trustworthy as Donald Trump. According to a new Quinnipiac University poll published Thursday, 57% of voters do not view Clinton as honest and trustworthy, compared to the 37% who believe that Clinton is trustworthy. Trump's numbers are almost identical: 58% of Americans view the GOP presidential candidate as not honest and trustworthy, compared to 33% who say they trust him. This isn't the first Quinnipiac poll to show Clinton's trust deficiency among voters.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was the woman whom the largest percentage of Americans admired most in 2015, according to a Gallup poll. That marks a record 20 years that she has garnered that honor, including the last 14 years in a row. Americans named President Barack Obama their most admired man. This is the eighth time that Obama has taken that honor. In the history of Gallupâs most-admired surveys, no one has appeared in the Top Ten more often than the Rev. Billy Graham, who has enjoyed that distinction 59 times.
