A Reuters/Ipsos poll released Thursday revealed that almost half American voters are going to vote “against” rather than “for,” if only to make sure that either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump doesn’t win the presidential election, overshadowing other motivations.

Nearly half the supporters of Republican candidate Donald Trump plan to vote for him out of fear that Democrat Hillary Clinton might become president. And it’s the same, vice versa, for those who plan to vote for Hillary.

“This phenomenon is called negative partisanship,” Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, told Reuters. “If we were trying to maximize the effect, we couldn’t have found better nominees than Trump and Clinton.”

The poll by Ipsos market research company was conducted for Thomson Reuters April 29-May 5, 2016.
