Wow.
Reports of @realDonaldTrump's presidential race death appear to have been grossly exaggerated…. https://t.co/lJmPWKbLIw— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) June 29, 2016
Has Donald Trump stopped the bleeding? Maybe so.
The latest poll from Quinnipiac University has the race statistically tied with Hillary Clinton at 42%, Donald Trump at 41%:

According to Quinnipiac, voters hate both candidates:
#Election2016 HATE WINNING, AS CLINTON-TRUMP RACE TOO CLOSE TO CALL; NEITHER CANDIDATE WOULD BE GOOD PRESIDENThttps://t.co/fQb0fqQKzz
— Quinnipiac University Poll (@QuinnipiacPoll) June 29, 2016
An excerpt:
Democrat Hillary Clinton has 42 percent to Republican Donald Trump’s 40 percent – too close to call – as American voters say neither candidate would be a good president and that the campaign has increased hatred and prejudice in the nation, according to a Quinnipiac University National poll released today.
This compares to results of a June 1 national poll by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN- uh-pe-ack) University, showing Clinton edging Trump 45 – 41 percent.
When third party candidates are added to today’s survey, Clinton gets 39 percent with Trump at 37 percent. Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson gets 8 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein gets 4 percent.
“The 2016 election has increased the level of hatred and prejudice in the U.S.,” 61 percent of American voters say. Another 34 percent say it has had no impact. Of that 61 percent, 67 percent blame the Trump campaign and 16 percent blame the Clinton campaign.
“It would be difficult to imagine a less flattering from-the-gut reaction to Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
“This is where we are. Voters find themselves in the middle of a mean-spirited, scorched earth campaign between two candidates they don’t like. And they don’t think either candidate would be a good president.”
Including this poll from Quinnipiac, Clinton is still up over Trump by 6.2% in the Real Clear Politics poll average:
