The article never mentioned a 2-party vote, but did say 54% of voters on exit polling said Bill Clinton wasn't trustworthy.

The computation of a "2-party vote" is kinda silly when it wasn't a 2-party election. Clinton never broke 50% in either multiparty election; the facts don't fit the theory. Methinks it's a magic trick to restate reality to sound better. LOL.

Yes but 1996 was a 3 person race and Hillary does not have the "New face" that Bill had in 96 awake May 2015 #7

How can an incumbent president have a new face? DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #8
