As worries rise, Hillary Clinton camp says stick to the plan

Faced with her worst poll ratings since she was losing badly to Barack Obama in 2008, Clinton is doubling down on a strategy laid out months ago. As drawn up by campaign manager Robby Mook and others when Clinton was seemingly invincible, the prospectus is a detailed month-by-month, state-by-state strategy to roll out serious policy proposals, raise a prohibitive amount of money, lock up Democratic delegates and woo members of her party’s disaffected left.

It was designed to win what had been presumed to be a somewhat dull primary without looking too presumptuous. Now Clinton has a full-on fight on her hands against a surging Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and faces the possibility that Vice President Biden will make a late entrance. Biden sits at roughly 20 percent in recent polls, and most of that support appears to come from erstwhile Clinton voters.

Clinton still leads among Democrats nationally, but for the first time her support has dropped below 50 percent in Post-ABC surveys. The biggest decline was among white women, a mainstay of Clinton’s bid to become the first female U.S. president.

The campaign is telling anxious supporters that the worst of the e-mail storm has probably passed, while also acknowledging that their initial response — nothing to see here, folks — was a serious mistake.
