WASHINGTON， Aug. 18 (Xinhua) -- Confidence in either U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump or his Democratic counterpart Hillary Clinton being a good president continues to remain low， as was the case earlier this year， a Pew Research Center poll said on Thursday.


Just 27 percent of registered voters think Trump would make a good or great president， while 55 percent say the bellicose New York billionaire developer would be either poor or terrible president.


Opinions about Clinton are not as negative， but still only 31 percent registered voters say Clinton would be a good or great president. As many as 45 percent voters say Clinton would be a poor or terrible president.


Also， the poll found that large shares of voters worry that there is distinct possibility that if elected， either nominee would make a serious mistake that would damage the country， with 55 percent registered voters saying that Trump has a "big chance" and 44 percent saying the same about Clinton.


Meanwhile， supporters of Trump and Clinton diverge on how their life has become and where the country is heading for.


According to the national poll， Trump supporters overwhelmingly believe that life in the country is worse that it was half a century ago "for people like them，" with 81 percent holding such opinion， compared with only 11 percent saying life has gone better.


The majority of Clinton's supporters take the opposite view， with 59 percent of them saying that life for people like them "has gone better" over the past five decades. About one in five Clinton's supporters think life has gotten worse and another 18 percent see little change.


As to the future generation's prospects， most Trump backers are pessimistic， with 68 percent saying that life for their children will be worse than today.


Clinton's supporters hold mixed expectations， with 38 percent being optimistic， compared with 30 percent who say life for the next generation will be worse.

SEOUL, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- South Korea's export volume kept rising for 10 months through August on the back of robust demand for locally-made automobiles and semiconductors, central bank data showed Monday.


The export volume index stood at 142.29 in August, up 8.5 percent from the same month of last year, according to the Bank of Korea (BOK). The index continued to gain for 10 months from November of last year.


The continued growth was attributed to solid demand for chips and cars. Export volume for electrical and electronic devices rose 6.6 percent, with the figure for semiconductors jumping 20.2 percent.


Export volume for transport equipment advanced 15 percent, with passenger car exports surging 26 percent.


In terms of volume, exports of general machinery, precision machine and oil products posted a double-digit increase last month.
