New Pew poll.

Hillary stands strong!

Hillary Clinton remains an overwhelmingly popular figure with Democrats. Currently, 77% of Democrats and Democratic leaners view her favorably; that is down slightly from August 2007 (81%), at a somewhat later point in her last presidential race.

Though wide majorities of Democrats across all demographic groups view Clinton positively, her favorability rating is lower among younger Millennials (ages 18-25), who were too young to vote in Clinton’s 2008 race. About two-thirds (65%) of younger Millennial Democrats view Clinton favorably. That compares with 79% of older Millennial Democrats (those ages 26-34). Among older Democratic age cohorts, 82% of Gen Xers, 76% of Boomers and 79% of Silents view Clinton favorably.

As was the case in August 2007, liberal Democrats view Clinton more favorably (81%) than do conservative and moderate Democrats (74%). Unlike eight years ago, there are virtually no gender differences in views of Clinton among Democrats: 78% of Democratic women and 75% of Democratic men view her favorably.

If I had a nickel for every one of my brain farts I could put my kids through college.

[hrmjustin]

7. lol i have about 3 or 4 a day here now.

[NaturalHigh]

8. Probably because of all the attacks we see on Secretary Clinton.

A lot of "Democrats" sure seem to have a thing for bringing her down.

18. Another poll with no mention of...

you-know-who would be too provocative for GD, wouldn't it?

We shouldn't antagonize any of our fellow Democrats.

21. I'm hoping the negativity won't last until November 2016?

Skinner in repsonse to a ATA query as to when Politics 2015 would be renamed to become Politics 2016:

Star Member Skinner (60,299 posts)

Don't know.

I have been thinking about that. I suspect there are a lot of people who don't have much interest in hearing Democratic candidates get dumped on in GD.

Hope this will make things more positive. We sorely need it.

19. A lot of older women believe she is their last chance to see equality before they die.

[yallerdawg]

20. Wouldn't that be spectacular?

Two things I never thought I'd see in my lifetime. A black president and a woman president.

Now that's a progressive party!

Three things if we throw in the Boston Red Sox.

[leftofcool]
