We see that the mode is 0 for feelings towards Clinton.
median(nes$clinton,na.rm=TRUE)
[1] 40
mean(nes$clinton,na.rm=TRUE)

sd(nes$clinton,na.rm=TRUE)
[1] 34.22733
We see that the median is 40 and mean is 42.15. Based on those numbers only, we would conclude that respondents feel somewhat cool to neutral towards Clinton, but the standard deviation provides a better understanding. At 34.23, the standard deviation tells us there is a large spread of responses from the mean - that respondents are not clustered at the median or mean.
What can we conclude about feelings toward Clinton based on these descriptive statistics? While on the whole there are more respondents that feel cool than warm towards Clinton it is not overwhelmingly the case;
roughly 43% of respondents have feelings above the neutral cut-point of 50. Compared to Trump, respondents have slightly warmer feelings towards Clinton.
