Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Nate Silver: Donald Trump & Hillary Clinton Now Equally Unpopular

HeadlineJul 27, 2016

Meanwhile, Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight blog is reporting Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are now equally unpopular among the American public. A recent Gallup poll shows the two candidates had the exact same unfavorability rating of 58 percent. Throughout the election season, multiple polls have shown both candidates to be historically unpopular. This comes as President Obama has said it’s possible Trump may win in November. This is President Obama speaking with NBC’s Savannah Guthrie.

President Barack Obama: “Anything is possible. It is the nature of democracy that until those votes are cast and the American people, you know, have their say, we don’t know.”
