Bernie Sanders favorability has improved seven points since the last poll was released on July 24. Hillary Clintons national favorability is at its lowest point since 1992.
Clintons favorability with the America public has sunk to one of its lowest levels in Gallups 23-year trend.
According to the poll, 51 percent of national adults hold an unfavorable view of Clinton, yet her favorability among independent and democratic voters remains steady at 74 percent. Bernie Sanders favorability has improved from 39 to 46 percent.

That liar poll doesn't do her much good, either.
And at the same time, Bernie is going up and up. Let's hope to the White House.

(45,251 posts)has been low all along, yet her approval rate was high. Seemed a bit of a disconnect. I want a President who understands my needs and has a strong desire to meet them. However, for the past four years she's been portrayed as the next President and no one else was on the horizon until (relatively) a minute and a half ago.

Meanwhile, as an example of posting at DU, I posted not very long ago that Hillary's numbers were trending down while Bernie's numbers were trending up and several of Hillary's DU supporters "proved" how very wrong my comment was. How can I possibly express my gratitude and respect?

(45,251 posts)A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
Proverbs 17:22, King James Version
Yadda, yadda, yadda, seven thousand years later (give or take a millennium or two):
Can you die of a broken heart? It can certainly feel that way, and anyone who experiences intense grief after losing a loved one may wonder whether they will survive.
Dr Alexander Lyon, who is a consultant cardiologist at the Royal Brompton, the specialist heart and lung hospital, is working with researchers at Imperial College to understand why some people die in the few days after a sudden, devastating loss.A rush of overwhelming fear or extreme pain are the types of shock he says might also lead to catastrophic heart failure. But it's not just "bad" emotions that can trigger a condition known as "broken heart syndrome", Lyon says it could equally be the shock of intense, unexpected happiness, such as winning the lottery.
The trigger for the syndrome also called stress cardiomyopathy or Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is the body's sudden, massive release of adrenaline, which can "stun" the bottom half of the main pumping chamber of the heart, in effect paralysing it and requiring the top portion of the chamber to work much harder to compensate.
