Clinton vs. Trump: Whom Do Voters Trust on the Big Issues? in Politics FacebookTwitterEmail thisShareThis Related Articles Daily Presidential Tracking Poll Clinton vs. Trump: Still A Dead Heat Do Voters Trust Clinton, Trump? Forget New Hampshire: It’s Still Clinton vs. Trump How Does Bloomberg Impact a Clinton-Trump Race? Obama, GOP Congress Aren't Much Help for Nominees Sign up for free daily updates Tuesday, February 16, 2016 The presidential race is still shaping up as Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton. So which of the two likely candidates do voters trust more on several of the key issues facing the nation? A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds that Trump leads when it comes to the economy, job creation and immigration. Clinton has held her lead on social issues but has widened her advantage on the environment. The two are virtually tied now when voters are asked whom they trust more to handle national security. (To see survey question wording, click here.) Voter trust breaks along predictably partisan lines. Voters not affiliated with either major party tend to lean in Trump’s direction. Forty-eight percent (48%) of all voters now trust Trump more than Clinton to handle the economy and job creation. Thirty-nine percent (39%) trust Clinton more, while 14% are undecided. Trump held a 50% to 38% lead when Rasmussen Reports first asked this question in early September of last year. Trump also posts a 49% to 38% lead in voter trust in the area of immigration, with 12% undecided. That compares to 52% to 38% in the previous survey. But there’s been a tightening in trust when it comes to national security. Last September, voters trusted Trump more 46% to 42%. Now it’s Trump 44%, Clinton 43%, with 13% not sure. It’s perhaps telling that Clinton doesn’t have a sizable lead in this area given her service as secretary of State, compared to Trump’s years as a businessman outside of the highest councils of government, but at the same time, national security is an issue on which Republicans usually hold sizable leads. Now of course Trump will not be kind to her in a debate. If she makes it that far, although doubtful she will panic and answer stupidly or just as stupidly not answer at all.

Hillary's Email Excuse Misleading at Best — Ex-FBI Chief February 17, 2016 in USA "We remain unable to provide the requested information without affecting on-going law enforcement efforts". Clinton's second White House bid has been dominated by speculation regarding her use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state through which top secret information was reportedly sent and received. The letter was filed in one of the Freedom of Information Act cases brought against the State Department over access to documents from Hillary Clinton's time as secretary of state. The FBI formally confirmed in a letter disclosed Monday that it is investigating Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server during her time as secretary of state, describing the probe as " ongoing". Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement that the FBI's confirmation proves that the investigation is not a simple security review. Not true says Steve Pomerantz, who spent 28 years at the FBI, and rose from field investigative special agent to the rank of assistant director, the third highest position in the Bureau. "The FBI has not, however, publicly acknowledged the specific focus, scope or potential targets of any such proceedings", Baker wrote. Perhaps his surrogates will now go on the attack, raising the issue in voters' minds. If the FBI decides to launch a criminal investigation, Lynch's department will have to decide whether to prosecute. Sanders and Clinton are expected to battle it out well into the spring. Even if no evidence of wrongdoing is found, Clinton's many critics are unlikely to take the word of an appointee of President Obama's and will doubt that justice has been served. In his letter, Baker wrote that in September he declined to confirm or deny the existence of any investigation into Clinton's private email server, but now the FBI has "acknowledged generally" that a probe has been going on. Beyond that, however, Federal Bureau of Investigation general counsel James Baker offered few details.
