Americans’ initial reactions to Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are largely negative, which helps explain their negative images. When Americans are asked what comes to mind when they think of Clinton, many say they don’t trust her (27%), don’t like her (13%) and that she is a criminal or corrupt (8%). Trump elicits a variety of complaints about his personality, with 16% saying they dislike him, and others describing him as an “idiot” or a “joke” (12%), a “racist” or a “bigot” (10%), “reckless” or “dangerous” (8%), or someone who speaks without thinking (7%).
