2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe ABC/Wapo poll still swinging wildly but this finding sticks: HRC up 54-38 among white women...
HRC with 10 point advantage with key demographic nationally...more women than men vote.
In 2020, we can look back at that last number and compare it to what will be her overwhelmingly positive perception, as has always been the case. People who she has represented (SoS & Senate) loved her more after than before, simply due to all the RW media nonsense spewed before she got elected. Thank goodness enough people know better to be the adults in the room and vote for Hillary Clinton.

(15,951 posts)I, of course, think she is more honest and moral.

There's only so long that people will continue to accept RW talking points (lies) about her, when reality flies completely in the face of their false allegations.
We must vote in overwhelming numbers though.

single instance that proves she's been dishonest
or broken an actual law... yet this bullshit smear
seemed to stick. Yes fuck Donald Trump but I'm
more disheartened at all the idiots who believe him.

(13,133 posts)My other guess is that poll is very skewed. Mostly any red blooded American male could tell you they are much more selective who they answer a call from these days

(3,635 posts)a fascist who would burn the Constitution and the Bill of Rights - is more "trustworthy" than an individual who may be the most honest and qualified candidate in the modern era?
Fuck our right-wing law-enforcement agencies like the FBI (which has been an arm of the GOP since the '90s), as well as the complicit media, who knows most of these faux-scandals are fake, but promote them anyway to drive ratings/profits, which then become "the reality that everyone knows" (as described by Paul Krugman) and no longer questions.

(22,308 posts)For one thing, she represented all of us as SoS. I don't see how you can make that claim given her national numbers. Also, I see no evidence that she left her Senate seat with a higher approval rating than when she held it.
Can you please provide some evidence to support your statement?

(Dec. 2006) Following her re-election, Clinton's favorability remained strong. Among Democrats, 55% viewed her as the leader of the party.
(May 2008) Clintons overall favorability dips below 50% again after long primary season that creates divisions even among many Democrats.

(22,669 posts)After another dip, it shot up to 65 percent in 2009 when she became secretary of state and stayed high for most of her tenure.
