Only 23% of Independents think that Hillary Clinton is honest and trustworthy

[AZ Progressive]

72% don't think that she is honest and trustworthy.

So much for being able to get people in the center. Doesn't look good in being able to get battleground states.

1. Can't stand her. Don't trust her.

[CoffeeCat]

2. She can't win in a GE with numbers like that

All you have to do is listen to right-wing radio to understand that she is despised by the right. They will stand in line for days just to vote against her, even if the Republican opponent is a ping-pong ball.

Half of our party would be thrown into a deep, dark depression if she was our nominee.

And of course, there's the Independents who overwhelmingly don't trust her or think that she's honest.

It's a trifecta of bad juju that will surely usher in a Republican president and a Republican-dominated House and Senate.

The answer is simple. Vote for Bernie. Independents like him. In Iowa, according to Ann Selzer's Iowa poll, he is appealing to many Independents who say they will vote for Sanders. Sanders even appeals to some conservatives. And of course, the Dem base and younger voters will turn out in droves to vote for Sanders.

It's not even debatable. Sanders is the most electable.

3. I'm unconvinced that a lot of those people won't vote for her.

[pengu]

11. I'm not so sure about that

She's pretty reviled in my professional circle, which is largely Obama voting indies.

[tazkcmo]

14. A lot will.

But more won't.

[CorporatistNation]

17. DITTO... There Ya Go... TOO Much Fucking History... err BAGGAGE K & R!

Landing in Bosnia under Sniper Fire???

My Mom named me after Sir edmund hillary.. Who Climbed Mt Everest ^ Fucking Years AFTER I was FUCKING BORN...

[Betty Karlson]

4. Her coattails are negative.

Why the DNC doesn't want to see that is beyond me. It's almost as if they don't care.

[daleanime]

12. Well, DWS still has a job.....

[Betty Karlson]

15. She'll be the only Democrat to have one, if she continues in this line. eom

[CoffeeCat]

16. It's almost as if they

Have some magical voting machines that will "fix" this problem for them.

[Ferd Berfel]

18. 2 point here: She can't win the GE AND her coat tails are Negative.

IF the power elite ram her down our throats there will be a disaster in November

[Scuba]

5. That many, huh?

[gvstn]

6. My main problem with Hillary besides her being a corporate shill.

Is that I think she will be a jingoist just to prove that a woman President can be tough.

I don't trust her to do what is the best for the country. Bernie is the only one of all the candidates that seems to want to do what will improve America rather than serve a few. Of course Congress is way off track as well. They stymied Obama who is only a bit more savvy than Jimmy Carter as to the way of Washington politics. Obama wasted his first 4 years trying to get along with a bunch of Repugs that had no desire to get along, and anyone with angstrom of acumen could see it.

7. 23% is an amazingly high number IMO.....I would think that would be the number for Democrats

[HereSince1628]

8. Interesting that sense that all independents are in the 'center'

I don't get that feeling from the few independents I know. The independents I know mostly seem less willing to simply toe a party-line and defend that as an innate goodness of their positioning.

[dana_b]

9. I noticed that too. I'm not happy about it.

Sigh... most of the independents that I know are pretty left of center. Including myself as I only registered as a Dem to vote for Bernie. ANd you're right - we don't toe ANY party line.

[PowerToThePeople]

10. the meme is used in order to justify moving more to the right.

it is false.

[daleanime]

13. Hell yes....

[Ferd Berfel]

Not many Non-Whites surveyed,

Wonder what this would look like if more non-whites were polled?
