As the race for the White House heats up, the supporters of both presidential candidates are still poles apart on a wide range of issues . According to data published by the Pew Research Center, both camps have vastly different views on how life in America today compares with 50 years ago. In this case, 59 percent of Clinton's supporters feel life is better while 81 percent of Trump supporters think it is worse. That trend is repeated in most instances with Trump supporters overwhelmingly pessimistic about the state of America today.
