In the latest sign Americans are dreading their general election options, particularly Donald Trump, negative views of the presumptive GOP presidential nominee have surged to their highest level of the 2016 campaign, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

Trump’s unfavorable rating far surpasses Hillary Clinton’s even as the presumptive Democratic nominee received her worst ratings in more two decades in public life.

The poll finds 70 percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of Trump, including a 56 percent majority who feel this way ‘‘strongly.’’

Negative ratings of Trump are up 10 percentage points from last month to their highest point since he announced his candidacy last summer, nearly reaching the level seen before his campaign began (71 percent).

The survey was conducted Wednesday through Sunday among a random national sample of US adults, coming after last week’s primary contests, but with the large majority of interviews completed before Sunday’s massacre at an Orlando club.

Clinton is also seen negatively, with 43 percent reporting favorable impressions and 55 percent unfavorable. Attitudes have not significantly changed since last month, but negative views of the former secretary of state have technically ticked up to their highest level in all Post-ABC polls since 1992, when Clinton had yet to become first lady.

Unfavorable ratings toward both Clinton and Trump are higher than for any major-party presidential nominee in Post-ABC surveys from 1984 onward.

While interviews were conducted before and after the Orlando shooting, results from Sunday showed no significant differences from previous days, though it will take several days to know whether the attack and political aftermath impact candidates’ standing.
