A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows that both the Democratic and Republican parties, as well as both parties' presumptive presidential nominees, continue to be significantly unpopular with voters even as some of the country's more controversial institutions are above water.

Really a WSJ poll that is owned by News Corp that was founded by Rupert Murdoch who also owns Fox News. We have realize who owns the media outlets whether they are owned by the left or the right and take their findings and their opinions with a grain of salt.

The NRA part. I don't think Hillary is popular. But the NRA is a stretch. But if you are anti establishment why believe a poll conducted by the republican establishment.

That's what I'm saying. All news either comes from the right or the left. All of it should be taken with a grain of salt. Go to the candidates websites and base your desicions on what their stances are not manipulated poll numbers or Op-Ed pieces.

I do wish people would stop bringing up favorability :rip: 

Almost the entire Republican base views her negatively and so do many liberals after Bernie trash talked her to hell and back.

As always Clinton will walk in with low favorability and come out with historic highs as she did as Senator and Secretary of State.

The NRA is very popular. 

5,000,000 people are paying yearly fees to be NRA members. How many people don't pay the fees but still support the organization?

And naturally a great majority of Americans believe in the right to keep and bear arms, although not always agreeing on what that means.

The right to bear arms and NRA supporters don't go hand in hand. The poll clearly says the NRA. Even some gun owners want stronger gun laws and don't support the NRA's method of paying off politicians. If you want to talk numbers 15.8 million people just voted for Hillary in the Primary. Three times more than NRA members and those are just the ones who turned out to vote. What about the ones who didn't vote that support her? Let's get real.

The NRA does not "pay off" politicians, and according to polls, I'm correct. Roughly half of people have a favorable view of them.  You probably spend too much time in places where people aren't fans of the NRA and it's skewed your perspective. Probably unaware the NRA also conducts a huge amount of gun safety training, traditional marksmanship competitions, etc, across the country.



From Gallup, 2015:

Despite Criticism, NRA Still Enjoys Majority Support in U.S.
Despite a year of blistering criticism from gun control advocates about the National Rifle Association's hard-line stance against gun restrictions amid a spate of mass shootings nationwide, 58% in the U.S. have a favorable opinion of the NRA.
