How high would presidential nominees' unfavorability ratings have to be to mathematically guarantee that the majority of the country does not support either candidate?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I think that you’re assuming a level of some kind of “actual knowledge” of the chosen candidate’s positions and ideas in order to make some type of informed choice – and which has not been very well demonstrated. It’s been pretty well demonstrated that a lot of Hillary’s supporters have no idea of her actual stance on many issues here’s a proxy video to represent many such. Bernie Sanders has no apparent idea of how a modern economy actually works. And who knows what Trump supporters feel about his stand on many issues, since he himself doesn’t seem to know, changes his statements from day to day and doesn’t seem to be particularly coherent – unless he’s speaking about himself. So how will these kinds of voters even be able to perceive that their candidates have negative ratings?
