Just one month after Hillary Clinton accepted the Democratic Party presidential nomination, her convention bounce is over, her disapproval numbers are at record highs and women voters are one of the biggest reasons why.
In a new survey commissioned by ABC News and the Washington Post, just 41 percent of Americans see Clinton favorably while 56 view her unfavorably. Her numbers are still better than Republican nominee Donald Trump, who is saddled with a 63 percent disapproval rating. Just 35 percent have a favorable opinion of him.
While not good, Trump’s numbers are staying largely consistent over the past month, ticking up one percentage point in approval since early August. Clinton, however, has dropped several points. In early August, 48 percent of Americans looked at her favorably while 50 percent saw her unfavorably. In just four weeks, Clinton has fallen from a two-point gap to a 15-point chasm.
And the biggest reason may be a considerable drop among women. Just after the Democratic Party convention, the ABC News/Washington Post poll showed 54 percent of women had a positive impression of Clinton, with 43 percent not thinking highly of her. Now, 52 percent of women voters see Clinton unfavorably, and 45 percent approve of her.
“It is the lowest rating that she has had in terms of women liking and supporting her for an entire year,” said Independent Women’s Forum Senior Fellow Gayle Trotter. “This is something that has been building awhile. Her general unpopularity rating has taken a real hit in the last three weeks.”
Trotter told WND and Radio America Clinton’s drop is largely to her own dishonesty and new revelations about her email server and conduct while secretary of state.

Wow.
Women who support Hillary are revolting? The only surprise is that they bothered reporting the obvious.
She went from +11 with women to -7. That’s a big drop.
Wow. Talk about throwing your vote away.

I question the importance of hi unfavorability numbers
the article also mentions unpopularity. That unpopularity among women is rising and is different than unfavorability.
I take this to mean that the consensus building among women is unpopularity.
It’s eleventh grade and hillary is not going to make cheerleader
Yep.
