| Both Trump and Clinton historically unpopular | |
| FiveThirtyEight’s Harry Enten notes the historic unpopularity, going back to 1988, of both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, at this stage in the nominating race. | |
| If you look @ net very fav ratings, it becomes clear dislike for Clinton/Trump is historic & not just a time trend. pic.twitter.com/KvZHvzy5ou | |
| The figures below reflect the opinions of the public at large. Both Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are viewed favorably by a majority of Republican voters, according to polling. | |
| Clinton’s favorability among Democrats hit a new low last month, but remained as high as +36 or 66-30, according to Gallup. Bernie Sanders’ net favorability among Democrats was measured highest of all, at +52. | |
| So the historic un-favorability of the frontrunners this cycle may in part be attributable to growing political polarization, in which a smaller share of partisans on one side are open to seeing the other side’s nominee as acceptable. | |
| Clinton is historically unpopular at this point... Trump, though, is on another planet with the general electorate. pic.twitter.com/gaQI0ShWVT | |

| Racing to close the deal in Indiana, Ted Cruz has rolled out a video ad featuring his endorsement by governor Mike Spence, whom Donald Trump was actively courting late last month. | |
| But Spence, who signed a law placing new restrictions on abortions in March, rebuffed Trump’s overtures to back Cruz, whom he praises as a “principled conservative”. | |
| “I’m a Reagan conservative,” Spence says in the new ad. “I see Ted Cruz as a principled conservative who’s dedicated his career to advocating the Reagan agenda.” | |

| Workers fight for dignity in Trump's Las Vegas hotel: 'You don't talk to the boss' | |
| Oliver Laughland | |
| Maricella Olvera encounters Donald Trump on occasion, but she’s careful not to say a word. The 47-year-old cleans the penthouse at the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas, where Trump, his family, and celebrity guests often come to stay. She cleans around them in silence. Trump is always uninterested, report the Guardian’s Oliver Laughland and Mae West: | |
| “The policy is: you don’t talk to the boss,” she said at her small one-bedroom home, on the joyously named Sing Song Way in the city’s northern suburbs. | |
| While Olvera may be silent at work, she and a collective of cleaners, bar workers, and kitchen staff at the Trump hotel have been a thorn in the billionaire’s side for the past year, using what voice they have to remind the public of the hypocrisy that surrounds his audacious run for the presidency and his record as an employer. | |
| Although Trump has touted himself as “the greatest jobs president that God has ever created”, these workers point to the fact they are paid on average $3 less than the thousands of unionised hotel workers in Las Vegas who work identical jobs and enjoy a host of other benefits, including pensions and free health insurance, not available to Trump employees. | |
| Earlier this month, following a protracted dispute with Trump and his co-owner, casino billionaire Phil Ruffin, the National Labor Relations Board officially certified a union for over 500 staff at the hotel. Workers argue they have been subjected to surveillance, intimidation, and unlawful dismissal as they have sought to organize. | |
