In a direct matchup, it shows Hillary up over Trump 34 to 29. It doesn't show up on the RCP chart, but when you dig into the polling data, both Hillary and Trump are losing to "Unsure" at 36%.

These are the two best known candidates in history in terms of name recognition, and yet "Eh, whatever" gets more votes than either one of them. I don't know who will win in November, but every single American is going to end up a loser.
high unsure numbers are common coming out of primary season, when all the supporters of the dead candidates are still unhappy at the idea of supporting the victor. As summer approaches, most of the sanders supporters will move to Hillary and most of the supporters of the various vicious dwarves on the Republican side will move to Trump, and the interesting thing will be to see how many "most" really is.
