WASHINGTON—Most American voters say “meh”—at best—about the 2016 field of presidential candidates in both parties.

That’s according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll, which shows that a majority of Americans believe none of the remaining candidates for president represents their opinions at least somewhat well.

At least half of Americans say they would be disappointed or even angry if either of the front-runners—Donald Trump for the Republicans or Hillary Clinton for the Democrats—are nominated, the survey shows. And a quarter said they would be disappointed or angry if both win nominations. Still another quarter would feel at best neutral if both are nominated.

Among all registered voters, 63 percent say they wouldn’t consider voting for Trump and half say the same about Clinton.
