Clinton’s dismal approval ratings prompt Dem fears

[left-of-center2012]

Hillary Clinton’s favorability ratings are historically low and increasingly a concern for her supporters.
Clinton is now viewed unfavorably by 55 percent of the electorate, according to the HuffPost Pollster average, which tracks findings from 42 different polling outfits. Only 40.2 percent of people view her favorably, according to that average.

An Associated Press/GfK poll released last week also found 55 percent giving Clinton an unfavorable rating. In the most recent Gallup poll, released late last month, her unfavorable number was 53 percent versus only 42 percent who saw her favorably.

“They’re pretty bad,” said Democratic strategist Brad Bannon:
“The No. 1 reason that her favorability is so bad is that you have large numbers of Americans who say they don’t trust her,” he said. “I could make it sound more complicated than that, but that’s really what it is. Voters see her as the ultimate politician, who will do or say anything to get elected.”

4. If you believe it has been a level playing field you're too far out in the bleachers to see.

5. spot on cali_democrat

[dchill]

2. Her approval ratings are not as dismal...

as they will be when the FBI report comes out. Did I say "indicted?" I did NOT say 'indicted."

[realmirage]

6. dchill the republican forums are over there

I think you're in the wrong place. Your talking points you got from fox news reveal you definitely are confused about what forum you should be posting in

9. dchill a DUer since 2004; you joined yesterday!

[dchill]

10. Those waves have not started pounding us yet... there are many and they are massive

Problem is, she will refuse to drop out no matter what.

[Divernan]

13. She has to remain a candidate to keep fund-raising

Just hope her vendors were smart enough this campaign to demand payment up front, as opposed to all the poor suckers she stiffed out of millions for 4 years in her first presidential campaign.

14. I recall that now... lots of IOUs -- unsigned, apparently

[Divernan]

19. Dreams of being "purveyor to the Queen"danced in their wee little heads!

[seekthetruth]

3. No, we just have too many lemmings in our society.....

....and a horribly biased media.

[realmirage]

7. are Bernie supporters really republicans in disguise?

You guys are using the exact same talking points that have been coming out of fox news for decades. What is happening to your revolution?

[PowerToThePeople]

15. Do you read DU?

If you did, it should be obvious whose policies most closely resemble the Republicans.

It is not the Sanders' side.

17. progressives, and the left, have known about the clintons before the republicans/right

read herein and around the web this primary season is this "right-wing" meme thing regarding hillary clinton.......

hearkening rubio's infamous debate refrain,

let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that alexander cockburn didn't know what he was writing. he knew exactly what he was writing:

The Clinton Files: Is Hillary a Crook?

"From 1993 to 2001, Alexander Cockburn and I wrote dozens of articles on the political corruption of Bill and Hillary Clinton and their cronies in DC and Arkansas. In many ways, those years represented the golden age of political journalism, with a fresh scandal ripening each month. As Hillary cruises toward the Democratic nomination, if not the White House, it’s time to dig into the Clinton Files and resurrect the stories of sleaze, malfeasance and transgression from that feculent decade." (Jeffrey St. Clair - 2015)

and let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that jeff cohen didn't know... he knew exactly:

Clintons vs. Insurance Industry: A Media Myth (1993)

"Buoyed by NAFTA's victory, the White House will now concentrate on its other major policy initiative -- health care reform. We can expect mainstream news outlets to paint a picture of Bill and Hillary Clinton in mortal battle against the big bad insurance industry. It's a vivid picture, but it distorts reality. As in the NAFTA battle, big corporations are in the president's corner... A full-blown media myth was born, with most reports omitting basic facts"

12. “They’re pretty bad,” said Democratic strategist Brad Bannon:"

“The No. 1 reason that her favorability is so bad is that you have large numbers of Americans who say they don’t trust her,” he said. “I could make it sound more complicated than that, but that’s really what it is. Voters see her as the ultimate politician, who will do or say anything to get elected.”

Between that and her obsession with protecting the big banks and other special interests that have earned her a personal wealth in the multi millions.

The people are smart enough to know she only knows two songs and neither shows a favorability towards them, the people.
