..this from today's WAPO via Drudge:
Here are the highlights form the article with added emphasis:
Hillary Clinton hit her stride after the Democratic National Convention, riding to a double-digit lead over Donald Trump in some national and swing-state polls -- her highest of the year.Of course, the WAPO never misses an opportunity to bash Donald:
As of today, though, Americans' views of her just hit a record low.
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows 41 percent of Americans have a favorable impression of Clinton, while 56 percent have an unfavorable one.
That's the worst image Clinton has had in her quarter-century in national public life. Her previous low favorable rating this year was in July, when it was 42 percent, lower than any mark in historical Post-ABC polls except a few points in the 1990s when a large share of the public had no opinion of her. Her previous high for unfavorable views was in June, when 55 percent disliked Clinton.
Trump, of course, has long been the more unpopular of the two presidential nominees, and he remains so; 35 percent of Americans have a favorable impression of him, compared to 63 percent unfavorable.But it then regains stride, blurring the message with this bit of written three-card monty:
But if you look just at registered voters, the new poll actually shows Clinton's image is about as bad as Trump's, with 38 percent having a favorable impression and 59 percent unfavorable, compared to a 37/60 split for Trump.
Clinton's numbers serve as a reminder that Trump's unpopularity isn't prohibitive, largely because Americans -- and specifically registered voters -- don't much like Clinton either. If it weren't for Trump, in fact, Clinton would be the most unpopular major-party presidential nominee in modern American history.
Perhaps most notably, Clinton's image has declined significantly from just a month ago. After the Democratic convention, Americans were about evenly split -- 48 percent favorable and 50 percent unfavorable.
If you're a Wall Street banker or you run a company that has the capacity to buy access, Hillary is your candidate. If you're a witch, you will naturally favor Clinton. If you're a criminal illegal alien, you're clearly going to vote for Hillary even though being an alien, you can't vote --- except in America you don't need to present an ID. Thus you can vote early and often.
ReplyDeleteThere are a number of categories of people who naturally love Hillary. If you own an abortion clinic and make big business of selling fetal tissue, there really is only one choice for you.
