Poll: By 20-point Margin, Americans Say Hillary Hasn't Been Truthful on Benghazi

A brand new Fox News poll introduces another problematic data point in the wake of Hillary's media-determined 'winning streak' -- during which the unflappable, poised Democrat finally put Benghazi behind her, according to the Official Narrative.  The scientific national survey finds that a strong majority of voters do not believe Mrs. Clinton has been "honest with the American people" regarding the September 11, 2012 terrorist attacks that killed four Americans, including a sitting ambassador.  Have a look at this trend line:

It would appear that Hillary helped herself with her Benghazi testimony, and was undoubtedly buoyed by the praises that reverberated up and down the media's echo chamber for days.  The good news for her is that she netted eight points on this question; the bad news is that she's still 20 points underwater, significantly worse than when Fox posed a similar question last spring.  And on the metric of overall honesty and trustworthiness, she's sitting at an abysmal (35/61), almost identical to the results from this week's Q poll (36/60).  Again, trend line:


The last time she was right-side-up on this measure was last April, back when she was still basking in the afterglow of her State Department-era popularity, and not a candidate for office. As she climbed inexorably toward another presidential run, her numbers eroded, flipping negative ahead of her official announcement. Now, after months of revelations, ethical questions and many provable lies and distortions, she's seen as a dishonest person by more than six-in-ten voters. On Benghazi, I joined Megyn Kelly to discuss yesterday's Townhall video highlighting the striking gap between the Clinton campaign's version of events and the specific recollections of multiple victims' family members (via Right Sightings):

Fact-Checking the Benghazi Fact-Checkers - Guy Benson Since it appears that Hillary's campaign is now claiming that she never blamed the "non-event" online video for the Benghazi attacks, that point of contention will come down to her word versus the collective word of Tyrone Woods' father, Glen Doherty's sister, and Sean Smith's mother and uncle. Given Mrs. Clinton's polling on truthfulness, it's not hard to guess whom the public would be inclined to believe.  I'll leave you with this:

“But but but Mister Media Scumbag you told me Granny was great and made the whole Benghazi thing go away. You wouldn’t lie to me would you Mister Media Scumbag, would you?”

she cannot even tell ya who her daughter’s daddy is

[ArGee]

I honestly had decided that Americans were no longer smart enough to discover that water is wet.

Maybe there’s hope.

[Yashcheritsiy]

And yet, many of these same people will vote for her.

[ScottinVA]

Yet, half still manage to love the bitch because “it’s her time.”

[fortheDeclaration]

What? The MSM has been telling us what a great job she did at the hearings!

[Kaslin]

You didn’t expect anything different from the Drive-by Media, did you?

[Parley Baer]

Hillary Clinton, Liar from New York.

[originalbuckeye]

I find it appalling that 37% of the People still say she’s been truthful! SMH!

[tophat9000]

Yet, half still manage to love the bitch because “it’s her time.”

I see it as her menopause election.... she had a few hot flashes but.... now not longer has “her time”

[Little Ray]

If only that translated into votes...

[Kaslin]

The same idiot voters who voted for that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave will vote for her.
Count on it.

[blueunicorn6]

“About the State Department’s role”

Poorly phrased.

[b4its2late]

37% still dumbasses.

[Angels27]

But still still millions who know she is untruthful and a liar and admit will still vote for her.

This is why the election will be close and why she has a great shot at winning.

[Kaslin]

Of course they will, because they haven’t learned a thing

Dear Abby:
My husband is a liar and a cheat. He has cheated on me from the beginning, and, when I confront him, he denies everything.

What’s worse, everyone knows that he cheats on me. It is so humiliating.

Also, since he lost his job 14 years ago, he hasn’t even looked for a new one. All he does all day is smoke cigars, cruise around and shoot the bull with his buddies, while I have to work to pay the bills.

Since our daughter went away to college he doesn’t even pretend to like me, and even hints that I may be a lesbian. What should I do?

Dear Clueless:

Grow up and dump him. Good grief woman! You don’t need him anymore! You’re running for President of the United States. Act like one.
