A big majority says Trump is unqualified for the presidency. How much will it matter?

One of the interesting and unanswered questions about the 2016 campaign is this: How is it possible that the race seems close, even though large majorities of Americans consistently tell pollsters that they don’t think Donald Trump is qualified or temperamentally fit for the presidency?

This week’s Post poll, for instance, found that 62 percent of Americans say they don’t think Trump “is qualified to serve as president,” while only 36 percent say he is qualified. By contrast, they say by 60-39 that Hillary Clinton is qualified. Meanwhile, they also say by 61-30 that Clinton has the “better personality and temperament to effectively serve as president.” Previous Post polls have shown similar findings.

Meanwhile, a CNN poll from July found that 67 percent said Trump does not have “the right experience to be president,” while 64 percent said that Clinton does have the right experience.

Is there any precedent in the modern polling era for a major party nominee to be regarded as unqualified for the job or fundamentally unfit for it by such large majorities?

IT's a testament to the effectiveness of disinformation and the demonization of Hillary (over the last 25 yrs of so). OF course, the M$M have been doing a great job of selling the GOP's disinformation and demonization of her.

When Comey was questioned by Rep Matt Cartwright about the lack of Classified headers on any of Hillary's emails, purported to contain classfied info, Comey had to admit NOT ONE of her emails which supposedly contained classified information - NOT ONE had a classified header on it.

Thus, Comey confirmed Clinton did NOT lie to Congress when she said nothing sent or received by her was marked classified. But not one of the GOP Toadies of M$M reported this game changing admission by Comey.
