The battle between Trump and Clinton heats up as the race to replace Obama in the White House approaches into its final month. As many would agree, the 2016 campaign has been one of the most bizarre US presidential elections in history.
In a recent survey carried out by Pew Research Center, disliking the opponent is a major factor as to why voters chose to support a candidate. 33% support Trump because “He is not Clinton” while 32% support Clinton because “She is not Trump”. How apt!
This explains pretty much how the election has been an absurd spectacle where credibility and political stances do not seem to be the cornerstones of electing the nation’s next leader. So far, the decision mainly boils down to who would not swing to the far end of the “worst” spectrum rather than focusing on the “best”.
It does not come as a surprise since “Majorities of Americans describe themselves as “frustrated” and “disgusted” with the campaign, while few declare themselves “interested”, “optimistic” or “excited.” And these negative takes have only become more widespread over the course of the summer.” – People-Press
Who will be the candidate that the rest of the world is voting for then? In a fun project created by Arthur van ‘t Hoog and Filidor Wiese from the Netherlands, anyone from any country can cast a vote. At the time of this article’s publishing, the results which are updated in real-time shows Trump leading the poll at 52%, while Clinton lags behind at 48%.

Trump win can bring volatility into the markets
I think Trump will be president cuz he says it as it is and does it.
Trump is crazy
Donald is into this election out of publicity for himself, his family and businesses.
Total chaos
Hope Hilary can win.
Close fight.
Like some commentators say, they predict Hillary to win, not so much based on her own merit, but as the “lesser of the two evils”. However, one cannot discount the possibility of another “Brexit” happening.
Hope Hillary win
TPP & Trade will be affected. Jobs will go back to USA.
Close fight
Trump is no doubt good at creating wealth for himself and his business empire. However, it is a totally different ball game to create wealth for each and every single average Americans as well as providing leadership to world’s number 1 economy.
I think trump is a disgrace to the presidential office and will make America look like a fool in the eyes of the rest of the world. Furthermore, I believe the man is only trying to attain his own personal goals that do not include helping the American people.
Trump will be unpredictable and the uncertainty will cause market turbulence that will be hard to manage.
i love the bullshit on TV with trump it just show that Americans are dum if they vote for him
First war with Mexico, then China, then Russia.
Trump is simply to unstable to be president.
Survey;
1.Clinton to win
2.War with Russia & China
I think Clinton should win. After all she has been in office for many years she knows what’s going on and as for Trump , he’s just in it for himself he has no intent to make the US better in any way..he will ruin the US.
Trump is a womanizer & talks a lot of bullshit. His character is bad.
I think Hillary Clinton should win because she talked logic, after all she has been in office for many years. She is experienced too in managing a country.
