Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump reacts during a speech on Veteran affairs in the lobby of Trump Tower in New York, New York, USA, 31 May 2016.Jason Szenes—EPA by [Daniel White](https://time.com/author/daniel-white/) ## Daniel White Jun 15, 2016 12:46 PM UTC Negative views of Donald Trump [have hit a campaign high](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/06/15/negative-views-of-donald-trump-just-hit-a-new-high-7-in-10-americans/), according to a new favorabillity survey. The Washington _Post-ABC News_ poll finds 70% of Americans have an unfavorable view of the Republican presidential nominee—including some 56% who feel “strongly” unfavorable. It’s a 10-point shift from last month, when Trump had hit just 60% unfavorable views. Since then, he officially became his party’s nominee and controversially [suggested a judge overseeing a lawsuit over his university might be biased](http://time.com/4360424/donald-trump-gonzalo-curiel-misconstrued/) because of his Mexican heritage. The survey was conducted before [Sunday’s deadly attack on a nightclub in Orlando](http://time.com/4365325/orlando-shooting-pulse-nightclub-deadliest-history/)—and thus before his tweeted response to the massacre, which was [widely criticized](http://www.slate.com/articles/news%5Fand%5Fpolitics/politics/2016/06/will%5Fdonald%5Ftrump%5Fs%5Fswaggering%5Fself%5Faggrandizing%5Fresponse%5Fto%5Fthe%5Forlando.html) for being insensitive and self-aggrandizing. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton also received some of her worst ratings in more than two decades, according to the new poll, with some 55% of Americans viewing the former Secretary of State as unfavorable. Worryingly for Clinton, one in four Democrats expressed unfavorable opinions towards her. Over a third (34%) of Republicans expressed unfavorable views of Trump, up from 28% in May. Polling was conducted between June 8-12, by the Washington _Post-ABC News_ among a random sample of 1000 American adults, with margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4369698/poll-donald-trump-favorabillity-low-june/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4369698/poll-donald-trump-favorabillity-low-june/"},"headline":"Donald Trump Is More Unpopular Than Ever, Poll Finds","datePublished":"2016-06-15T12:46:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T22:37:06.426Z","description":"Some 70% of Americans are unfavorably disposed towards him","url":"https://time.com/4369698/poll-donald-trump-favorabillity-low-june/","keywords":["2016 Election","Hillary Clinton","2016 Election topic","Polls","Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1256db39cf74d94d/698895bd8e0601f42a4661f6/h_52794942.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniel White","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/daniel-white/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1256db39cf74d94d/698895bd8e0601f42a4661f6/h_52794942.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks to supporters","caption":"US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks to supporters","creditText":"Jason Szenes—EPA","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4369698/poll-donald-trump-favorabillity-low-june/","name":"Donald Trump Is More Unpopular Than Ever, Poll Finds"}}]}] ```
