A new statewide poll finds a significantly weakened Democratic
frontrunner Hillary Clinton who is now disliked by voters as much as the
Republican frontrunner, Donald Trump.

Asked by EPIC-MRA pollsters their opinion of Clinton, 32
percent of voters said favorable and 55 percent said unfavorable, including 42
percent who said they have a very unfavorable view of the former secretary of
state.

The assessment of Trump was nearly identical: 32 percent
favorable, 56 percent unfavorable, including 41 percent very unfavorable.

In contrast to those national polls that survey likely
primary election voters, the views expressed by the broad Michigan electorate,
when presented with Clinton, Trump and former Florida governor Jeb Bush as a
potential president, seems to be: None of the above.

Bush’s ratings were 29 percent favorable, 50 percent unfavorable
(25 percent very unfavorable) but he leads Clinton, 45-40 percent, in a
head-to-head matchup. Bush has trailed Clinton in countless other state polls,
including a June EPIC-MRA survey, when the gap was three points.

The Aug. 18-22 EPIC-MRA survey found Clinton and business
tycoon Trump in a statistical tie, 44-42 percent.

In comparison, Clinton had a net favorable rating in a February 2014 statewide poll by EPIC-MRA, with 47 percent favorable and 43 percent unfavorable.
