Fox News Poll: Many voters want new leadership, but still uneasy about Trump

Half of likely voters think the country is in such deep trouble that a completely different kind of leader is needed to come in and shake things up.

That sounds like good news for Donald Trump. Yet the latest Fox News Poll also finds a majority of voters don’t think Trump is qualified to be president -- and doesn’t have the right temperament to serve.

“While the race is tight, some underlying attitudes about the candidates heavily favor Hillary Clinton, such as temperament and experience,” says Democratic pollster Chris Anderson, who conducts the Fox News Poll along with Republican pollster Daron Shaw. “These will likely become larger factors as Election Day gets closer and voters start visualizing the candidates in office.”

The poll, released Sunday, finds six-in-ten likely voters think Clinton is qualified to be president (61 percent) and has the right temperament to serve (59 percent). It’s the reverse for Trump, as majorities say he lacks the qualifications (54 percent) and temperament (59 percent).

Looks like Fox has copied and pasted the WA Post/ABC poll.

Clinton up in everything, even fighting terrorism. Like I have said before when Ailes got canned Fox turned a sharp turn left and has not looked back.

To live in a free country you sometimes have to make choices and it’s not always easy.

This is the agreed upon narrative and what we will see repeated over and over again through the rest of the election season. Hillary has the temperament of the psychotic bunny killer from the movie Fatal Attraction, yet she is the one portrayed as “more presidential”. It is the biggest joke of all time.

“Many voters want new leadership, but still uneasy about Trump”

That could change if Trump does well in the debates.

Your comment basically sums up what the establishment media really are about. A real pathetic lot they are, big time.

The details show this poll is BS.

58% (question 15) think the country is going to hell in a handbasket, but only 25% are angry [51% are "dissatisfied"].

Really? If I think something is going to hell in a handbasket (language about as hostile as you can get in a family friendly poll) and it affects me (like MY country), I am going to be angry, just like I said I was when I used the phrase going to hell in a handbasket.

The oligarchy is scared to death of the people rising up, Les Deplorables style, and stringing them up from the nearest lamp posts for selling out America. Their fear is palpable, it drives them, and is why they cannot stop trying to destroy Trump. We have to be ready to take this to the end, because they will not go quietly.

I just don’t understand what other people’s thinking,if they compare Trump to Obama & Hillary, Trump is God sent Angle.

If for no other reason than Genesis 12:3, those undecided or wavering should vote Trump.

I think many people are highly reluctant to openly support Trump because of what they have seen on TV and online videos—Trump supporters are verbally and physically abused very literally.

Oh, let’s create a safe space for them so they can come to grips with their lack of critical thinking skills! Or is supporting a lying grifter as President that wants to allow more pressure cooker bombers into the US a choice the level of their intelligence?

What are they thinking? Do they see a strong leadership from meek and spineless RINO’s? If RINO is their opponent, they will claim that Hildebeast displays a strong leadership quality. This is all stupid. They don't want Trump to win. They are making up excuses to rationalize their view.

Take a trip down to your local Social Security Office and listen to some conversations out in the waiting room. It is like a scammers convention every day, and it’s not the old folks.

Trump must learn to control his mouth and emotions.

Absolutely. The media is Clinton's propoganda machine pumping out lies, distortions and misdirections on a daily basis to demoralize Trump supporters and drag the Clinton corpse across the finish line.

IGNORE THEIR CRAP.

VOTE TRUMP.

What they fear unfortunately for them is inevitable and has been divinely foretold.
