2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)I would like to take this time to congratulate the media, republicans and the anti-Clinton crowd... [View all]
A collective effort may have possible knocked down Hillary Clinton.
With all the ongoing attacks and extra scrutiny only reserved for the Clintons from the media and repulbicans, Clinton's favorability takes a major hits.
The Democratic presidential candidate is viewed unfavorably by 48 percent of likely voters, compared with 37 percent who view her favorably.
Her ratings are down significantly from the last NBC/WSJ poll in June, when 44 percent viewed Clinton favorably versus 40 percent who viewed her unfavorably.
These numbers will certainly add to the consternation already permeating Democratic circles following a recent Quinnipiac University poll which showed Clintons favorability drowning in key swing states.
NBC News points out that Clintons fav/unfav ratio, while worse than Barack Obamas throughout his presidency, is identical to her husband Bill Clintons score heading into the Democratic nomination in 92.
Pollster Bill McInturff compared Clintons campaign to a battleship able to withstand several torpedo strikes, but there has been a torpedo that has hit something, and there are some leaks.
Despite her low favorability numbers, Clinton remains the clear frontrunner among the current field of Democratic presidential candidates.
