That said, Americans don’t think either candidate is particularly honest. According to an Economist/YouGov poll conducted in August of 1,300 people with a 4.1% margin of error, only 28% think Clinton is honest and trustworthy, and 27% think Trump is.

Trump makes no gains on economy
Following a high-profile speech, the Republican nominee continues to trail his opponent in public confidence on the economy and taxes


Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump continues to make headlines but has yet to make up any ground on his Democratic rival. And many of Trump’s supporters in the latest Economist/YouGov Poll no longer view their vote as one for the New York businessman, but more as a vote against Hillary Clinton.

Trump’s economic plan is seen as more beneficial than Clinton’s only for those at the upper end of the economic ladder: by two to one, Americans say his economic plan would be better for the wealthy and better for big business. Clinton’s plan is seen as better for the poor and for the middle class. As for Wall Street, the judgment isn’t clear. 38% think Trump’s plan is better for Wall Street, while 33% say Clinton’s is.

Trump’s other attacks on Clinton – that she is weak, and that she is corrupt – may be hurting the former Secretary of State, but Trump hasn’t gained on Clinton when it comes to either characterization. Half of the public say they would use the word “corrupt” to describe Clinton, but 48% would use that word to describe Trump. And six in ten say the word “tough” describes each of them.

And when it comes to honesty, neither one gets high scores.

They are competing on the 'honesty scale' as to who is least dishonest.:think:
