Quinnipiac Poll: Hillary leading by 2 percentage points. [View all]

"Democrat Hillary Clinton has 42 percent to Republican Donald Trump's 40 percent - too close to call - as American voters say neither candidate would be a good president and that the campaign has increased hatred and prejudice in the nation, according to a Quinnipiac University National poll released today."

Particularly noteworthy was this poll result: "But voters say 45 - 37 percent that Trump is more honest and trustworthy" Now why on earth would voters say that?
