Two dark candidates?
Voters’ View of a Donald Trump Presidency: Big Risks and Rewards
Most voters consider Donald J. Trump
a risky choice for president, saying he lacks the right temperament and
values, but he is seen as more transformative and better at handling
the economy than Hillary Clinton, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.
Mrs.
Clinton, despite being as disliked as Mr. Trump, is seen as a safer
option. Majorities of voters say she has the temperament for the job and
would better handle foreign policy. Only 36 percent of them, however,
view her as an agent of change. That perception deeply worries some
Clinton campaign advisers, who want the race to hinge on Mr. Trump’s
character rather than voters’ desire to upend the status quo.
With
less than eight weeks until Election Day, the two candidates are locked
in a close contest in which the challenge from third-party candidates
may make a difference. Mrs. Clinton, the Democratic nominee, has the
support of 46 percent of likely voters nationwide, compared with 44
percent for Mr. Trump, the Republican; that result includes voters who
said they were leaning toward a candidate.
Looking
more broadly at all registered voters, Mrs. Clinton holds a wider edge,
46 to 41 percent, driven by her support among women, minorities and
college graduates. Getting registered but unlikely voters to the polls
in November is a large challenge for Mrs. Clinton’s campaign.
Mr. Trump has an advantage among men, whites and less educated voters.
In
a four-way race, Mr. Trump and Mrs. Clinton are tied at 42 percent
each. Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate, has the support of 8
percent of likely voters, and the Green Party nominee, Jill Stein, takes
4 percent. Mr. Johnson is hoping to qualify for the coming presidential
debates, but he is short of the requirement of reaching 15 percent
support in an average of major polls.

TRUMP
Among
likely voters younger than 30, Mrs. Clinton’s support drops 10 points
in a four-way race. Their support for Mr. Trump falls seven points, but
he is not relying on young voters as much.
The race has clearly grown tighter in recent weeks. National polling averages have narrowed markedly from early August to today.
Polls
in a number of key swing states, including Ohio and Florida, have
narrowed in the past week as well. Projections of Mrs. Clinton’s
Electoral College advantage have also shown a tightening based on recent
polls.
Continue reading the main story
Voters
expressed discontent with both candidates. Among those who say they
intend to vote for Mr. Trump or Mrs. Clinton, slightly more than half
express strong support. The rest say that they harbor reservations about
their candidate or that they are voting simply to thwart the other
nominee.
Despite
the voters’ misgivings, the major-party nominees are consolidating
support among their party faithful. Mrs. Clinton commands support of 87
percent of Democrats, while Mr. Trump is supported by 85 percent of
Republicans.
Document: A New York Times/CBS News Poll on the Presidential Race
The
poll results offer more cause for concern than confidence for Mr. Trump
and Mrs. Clinton as they prepare for their first debate, on Sept. 26,
and as early voting begins in some states next weekend. Their
favorability ratings remain stubbornly low, with only about one-third of
voters seeing each of them positively, despite the candidates’ attempts
to use their conventions, commercials and public appearances to
persuade voters to see them in a new light.
A
majority of voters say Mr. Trump does not care about the needs or
problems of Hispanics; most voters see Mrs. Clinton as caring about
Hispanics, and a majority of voters agree with her view that most
illegal immigrants in the country should be allowed to stay and
eventually apply for citizenship.
The
nationwide telephone poll was conducted with 1,433 registered voters
from Sept. 9 to 13 on cellphones and landlines. The margin of sampling
error is plus or minus three percentage points for all voters.
Mr.
Trump’s temperament stands out as potentially his most damaging
vulnerability, as his penchant for insults and provocations often
undercuts his political message. Trump advisers see the televised
debates as Mr. Trump’s greatest opportunity to reassure people about his
personality, but he starts off in a weak position, with 64 percent of
voters saying he does not have the right temperament to be president.
Sixty-seven
percent of voters see Mr. Trump as a risky choice for president,
compared with 51 percent who hold that view about Mrs. Clinton — a
surprising number in itself given that she has been a president’s
spouse, a senator and a secretary of state.
For
Trump advisers, the image of Mr. Trump as a gamble comes with an
upside. They concede that he is most likely to lose the election if a
majority of voters view him as dangerous or reckless. But if he can
persuade people to see him simply as unpredictable — even cagey in a
strategic sense — as well as committed to disrupting the federal
government, voters could regard him as worth taking a chance on for four
years while looking to his advisers and Congress as a check on his
power.
Several
Trump supporters said in follow-up interviews that they believed he was
worth the risk, given the economic and security challenges facing the
nation. Forty-eight percent of voters think Mr. Trump could bring real
change to Washington, a 12-point edge over Mrs. Clinton; another 48
percent think he could not bring change.
“The
risky part with Trump is the fact of his rhetoric, how he says things,”
said Patrick Kellegher, 52, a political independent and a retired
deputy sheriff from Anaconda, Mont. “But I think he is outside the known
government circles.” He added, “I think Trump will bring about real
change because he’s looking at it through a different scope.”
The
candidates also face continued doubts about their honesty. Of the two,
Mrs. Clinton has tried more visibly to address misgivings about her
trustworthiness, by releasing decades of tax returns and more details
about her health than Mr. Trump has. Yet one stain on her reputation is
proving indelible: About seven in 10 voters say she did something wrong
when she used a private email server as secretary of state, including 45
percent who say she did something illegal.
Concerns
about her judgment linger even among some of her supporters, who say
she could have been more forthcoming about her email practices before
they grew into a political controversy and the focus of a scathing
F.B.I. report.
“I
don’t think she’s been dishonest or untrustworthy in a way that
disqualifies her to be president, but she shouldn’t have worried so much
about political ramifications and come clean up front,” said Lindsay
Dofelmier, 36, a lawyer in Houston who is supporting Mrs. Clinton.
Mr.
Trump has yet to release any of his tax returns, a break with political
tradition that goes back decades, and has been far less specific than
Mrs. Clinton on many personal and political questions, including his
policy proposals. Asked if it was necessary for Mr. Trump to release his
tax returns, 59 percent of voters said it was. Forty-five percent of
voters said they would like the candidates to release more medical
records.
Correction: September 15, 2016
An earlier version of this article misstated Donald J.
Trump’s support among white voters. He leads Hillary Clinton among white
voters by 51 to 40 percent, not by 57 to 33 percent. He leads among
white men by a 57 to 33 percent margin.

Mr. Tigerli in China Copyright 2016 by Letizia Mancino translation by Mary Holmes All rights reserved
Yes Betty, either or it seems he wanted to fly only with
Singapore Airways.
Boeing or Airbus, it’s just the same
isn’t it? Aren’t they both just fat birds with 500 passengers?
Yes, but Singapore Airlines has the
most beautiful airhostesses: delicate, fine, graceful… Mr. Tigerli had looked forward to the flight
so much!
So the little man was disappointed?
You just can’t imagine how disappointed
he was.
But thank God one of the hostesses was a
pretty Chinese girl. Mr. Tigerli purred loudly but she didn’t hear him because
the purring of the Airbus 380 was even louder.
The poor cat!
You’ve said it Betty. Mr. Tigerli was
in a very bad mood and asked me for a loud speaker.
I’m sure you can get one in 1st
Class.
“”Russian Girl” had even heard you over
the roar of the Niagara Falls” I said to Mr. Tigerli. “You are a very
unfaithful cat. You wanted to get to know Asiatic girls. That’s how it is when
one leaves one’s first love”.
And what did he say to that?
“Men are hunters” was his answer.
Yes, my dear cat, a mouse hunter. And
what else did he say?
Not another word. He behaved as if he
hadn’t heard me.
The Airbus is very loud.
I told him shortly “Don’t trouble
yourself about “Chinese Girl”. There will be enough even prettier girls in
China. Wait till we land in Guilin”.
Did he understand you?
Naturally Mr. Tigerli understood me
immediately. Yes, sweetheart, don’t worry. They will find you something sweet
to eat.
And he?
He was so happy.
No problem going through the immigration
control?
Naturally! Lots of problems. How could I explain to
customs that the cat had come as a tourist to China to buy shoes?
Fur in exchange for shoes…
Don’t be so cynical Betty!
Cat meat in exchange for shoes?
He came through the pass control with
no trouble!
Is this Mr. Tigerli?
