For the first time in years, more Americans find Hillary Clinton "unfavorable" than "favorable" - although she is still the clear leading potential Democratic nominee for 2016.
The change is likely due to a plethora of recent bad press around the Benghazi scandal, despite the fact that reports from The Weekly Standard, ABC News, and CBS News were later debunked and retracted.
The YouGov/Economist poll makes it obvious that public discontent with Clinton is a recent phenomenon:
During much of her tenure as Secretary of State, Clinton enjoyed generally positive ratings, ratings that continued through much of the spring following her departure from Foggy Bottom: from January through April her net favorability numbers fell below +15 only three times.
But starting around mid-May of this year, the positive feelings began to recede and the secretary’s image has not recovered since, with nearly half of Americans (48%) now holding an unfavourable opinion of her, compared to 46% with a favourable one, for a net rating of -2.
Clinton's favorability decreased between January and November of this year within every demographic, including Democrats. However, a majority of Democrats, Blacks, and Hispanics still consider her favorable today:
As of the end of October, 76% of Democrats supported Clinton as a presidential candidate in 2016, an even larger majority than previous polls had indicated. Yet if there is one thing the favorability poll proves, it is that the political tide can turn very quickly.
Although the latest numbers are important, they are unlikely to stay the same for long.
“She’ll be a 69 year old hag in 2016”
She could be dead and still win. Elections are all about money and name recognition. She has both.
I’m not certain but just by reading between the lines I get a hint that you may not be really fond of her.
Imagine the photo of her at age 73 — slow dancing on a beach with der Schlickmeister.
Now there’s an inspiring candidate but then i never thought someone with the name Barack Hussein Obama would win the presidency. Silly me.
Hillary looks like a definite loser and many D party people realize this. They’d love to find someone else if they can. It shouldn’t be so hard a thing to do given how big is the D party
Poor Hillary. It seems she is fated to be always a groomsman, never a groom.
I am unaware that such Hillary allegations are so recent as her State Dpt tenure, from staffers assigned to her. Would you have a link to any of it, by chance?
You are probably right.
Hillary is running the “Third Way” campaign which the Clinton’s started as far back as 1998 or 1999.
She has to try and position herself as a moderate between the two extremes on the right and left so she quite possibly could be running as a third party.
Your conclusion is hugh and series enough, alright, and for the time being anyway, spot on.
the comments were made a week or so ago by now retired military security personnel and i did not note who said what and when but if you do your own search………………...
With George Soros in charge of Her “Hillary 2016 Pac” ( Twitter from Hellary herself, in multiple Newspapers Oct 13, 2013) and Harold “Mr. Manipulative” Ickes,( HE, more than anyone else, got that wretched Woman elected Senator of New York BTW) now back on The Powerful Democratic “Rules Committee”, after the Rules committee overrode HIM and changed the rules so Obama could WIN, let’s not forget THAT fact either; I believe saying she won’t be the nominee is preposterous. Power people, it’s all about POWER and she’s not done, not by a long shot. We may try to wish her away in our minds, but that just won’t work.
I can’t recall Hillary doing anything noteworthy. However, she bungled the Benghazi attack, yapping about the video, then unraveling and shouting “What difference does it make?” The list of lies she has told is long.
Your conclusion is hugh and series enough, alright, and for the time being anyway, spot on. Head dresses for all, coming soon. Tonto-ette rides again, I suppose.
Thanks for more specifics. I’ll look around for military security source. .)
She’s a lesbo...frolicks in Santa Barbara hot tubs with Huma and friends.
Whose Fauxcahontas, fm?

Well, I’m hoping it wasn’t too obvious.
:)
I don’t want to be audited by the IRS when the hideous medusa becomes president.
=O
Oops ... I may have let it slip there.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the Stalinist moonbat who beat Scott Brown in Massachusetts. The one who spent her career lying about having a Native American ancestry. Hence why we call her Fauxcahontas or Lieawatha.
