Unemployed Americans were more likely to vote for Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election -- but they were almost just as likely not to vote at all, according to a new surveyout Wednesday.

Per the survey, released by Express Employment Professionals, 35% of unemployed people voted for Hillary Clinton while 25% voted for Donald Trump. Another 34% said they didnt vote at all.

Still, they had mixed views on the Trump administration and policy issues.

While Democrats and Republicans seem to be polarized, the views of the unemployed appears to be much more mixed, Bob Funk of Express Employee Professionals said in a statement. Despite the political commentary, political opinion is not as black and whiteor red and blueas we are often led to believe.

The survey was conducted from March 14 to April 6 and surveyed 1,500 adults who were 18 or older and were unemployed but capable of working. People who were retired, choose to stay home are cant work because of long-term disability werent included in the survey.
