Poll: Majority Think Clinton Acted Unethically Or Illegally In Emails

NOVEMBER 12, 2015
BY ANITA KUMAR

A large majority of voters believe Hillary Clinton did something either unethical or illegal in her use of a private email system for government business, according to a new McClatchy-Marist Poll.

A total of 68 percent believe that what she did was wrong in one way or the other.

The biggest bloc, 40 percent, say she acted unethically, though legally. That includes large numbers of Democrats and independents.

The second biggest, 28 percent, believe she did something illegal.

The third, 27 percent, believe she did nothing wrong.

The results suggest that even as Clinton builds her lead for the Democratic presidential nomination over rival Bernie Sanders, a sizable number of voters have lingering questions about her behavior as secretary of state that would follow her through a general election campaign.

Guess they want to keep the story on at least page 5.

I was polled by Rasmussen on Tuesday. There were about 40 questions. Not one of them had anything to do with Benghazi or emails or Hillary.

I would like to put a poll in the field about polecats.

...like on reddit and other places. Those who are informed know that she was hardly the only person to use a personal server historically. Those who believe she did something intentionally wrong (a ridiculous concept if one thinks about it) are either right-wingers (28%) or have been influenced by the right-wing media or have an axe to grind. That's my informed opinion.
