The 2016 presidential election has been a race largely defined by anxiety and aversion over the choice voters have before them. Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are among the most unpopular presidential candidates in recent history. Recent Washington Post-ABC News polls show that Trump supporters are more likely to be pessimistic about the country and to believe that whites are losing out due to preferences for blacks and Hispanics. Clinton supporters, on the other hand, are more likely to approve of the Obama presidency and feel that Trump is biased against women and minorities. Furthermore, at least three-quarters of both Clinton and Trump supporters are anxious about the other candidate becoming president.
