With more than 8 in 10 voters saying the campaign has left them repulsed rather than excited, the rising toxicity threatens the ultimate victor. Clinton, the Democratic candidate, and Trump, the Republican nominee, are seen as dishonest and viewed unfavourably by a majority of voters. She has the support of 45 per cent of likely voters while Trump has 42 per cent. About as many Republican voters say Trump’s candidacy has been bad for the party as believe his campaign has been positive for Republicans, an extraordinary divide over their own standard-bearer on the eve of the election. Enthusiasm among Clinton’s supporters has been flat since September: 47 per cent say they are very enthusiastic to vote.
