Oh My: Hillary Now Trails Six Different Republicans in New National Poll

Happy Thanksgiving week, conservatives:

Screen grab

Poll: At least 7 GOP candidates beat or tie @HillaryClinton if race held today. @SundayFutures pic.twitter.com/to0piVh2lm Fox News (@FoxNews) November 22, 2015

Rubio's up eight, Jeb's up six, Trump and Carson are up five, Cruz is up four, and Christie's up three. Fiorina is tied with Hillary, at 42 percent apiece. The sample is R+1 -- perhaps a bit generous -- but Hillary's fundamentals remain terrible, including a dead-last (38/58) 'honest and trustworthy' score among the field.  And it's entirely plausible that more Americans are identifying as Republicans in the wake of the Paris attacks, especially as Democrats weirdly channel their energies toward sanitizing the threat of radical Islam and pushing an unpopular refugee policy, while accusing skeptics of un-American bigotry.  Why, based on these data points from the new scientific, nonpartisan nationwide survey, it's almost as if the Democratic Party is intent on solidifying a reputation of perilously naive weakness on national security and defense:

83% think Islamist extremist terrorists will try to attack US homeland in near future:

By 66/29 margin, US voters believe US *is* at war with radical Islam, rejecting Obama/Hillary posture:

~2/3 of voters (65%) say Obama not aggressive enough vs. ISIS. Lots of "folks poppin' off:"

*67%* of voters disapprove of Obama's Syrian refugee policy. Just 28% approve (exact same # in Bloomberg poll):

Voters oppose closing Gitmo by 28-point margin. Oppose Obama bypassing Congress to do so by whopping (73/20):

No wonder President Setback has been so cranky and demagogic lately (his overall approval rating slumps to 40/54 in this poll).  His policies have failed, and Americans know it. His indignant blamestorming has beenutterly unconvincing on substance, even among many Democrats.  The administration claims the facts are on their side regarding refugee vetting.  But they're not pounding the facts; they're impotently pounding the table.  Take another look at the "radical Islam" numbers above, then marvel at the breathtaking tone-deafness of this new DNC ad:

Inciting fear isn't presidential
Every single Republican candidate featured in the spot rightfully goes out of his way to employ "radical" or "extreme" qualifiers.  The Bush comments presented as a "rebuttal" simply hammer home the painfully obvious point that radical Islam shouldn't be lazily conflated with Islam itself.  Also, as Allahpundit notes, the notion that Bush never used the term "radical Islam" because it would "incite fear" is, um, incorrect.  What a mind-blowingly stupid ad.  Republicans should urge the Democrats to run it 24/7.  On the Guantanamo issue, in addition to lopsided sentiment against closing the facility -- especially through an illegal power play -- nearly seven-in-ten voters also say they'd oppose relocating any of Gitmo's dangerous jihadi detainees from the secure facility in Cuba to their home state.  This may explain why Congressional Democrats have repeatedly helped Republicans block Obama's efforts to close the prison, yet the White House remains obsessed with doing so.  Will Obama defy the will of Congress, heavy public opinion, and the legal conclusion of his own Attorney General?

AG Lynch On Bringing Gitmo Detainees To U.S.: 'The Law Currently Does Not Allow For That'

Some indicators suggest Obama is planning subvert the law anyway, and he's setting the stage for it by releasing and transferring hardcore terrorists to other countries.  I'll leave you with the latest from Team Smart Power, which informed Americans that "jayvee" ISIS was "contained" just before Paris, and that Al Qaeda was "neutralized" right before Mali (ahem):

Note how the Fox screen only lists 4 of the 6. Hmmm....

This is the only photo of Shrillary that I like to look at. For this is her expression when there is not a teleprompter in front of her and she is being asked a question that she was not previously coached to answer.

[Polyxene]

I am hoping The Obamanation’s non-handling of ISIS and terrorism has the same effect as Carter’s non-handling the Iran hostages:

A Republican landslide next year.

More like G+37 (*G = gimmedats)

I'll say.

Fox News is so transparent, carrying water for his slickness, Marco Rubio. He is as slippery as Bill Clinton, maybe even more.

"Why, based on these data points from the new scientific, nonpartisan nationwide survey, it's almost as if the Democratic Party is intent on solidifying a reputation of perilously naive weakness on national security and defense"

If Fox News really wanted to defeat Shrillary they would allow their guests to directly refer to the enemy on-air by name. They would let them address these (D)ummycrats as the Democratic-Terrorist Party.

In fact, the (D)ummies should never ever be referred to without the corresponding prefix or suffix. This parasitic cabal of traitors began as the Racist Democrat Party. It became the Democrat-Slavery Party. Then the Democrat-Segregationist Party. It devolved into the Democratic-Socialist Party. And now their true colors are flying high for all to see ... Let's all say it together ... the Democratic-Terrorist Party. It has a nice ring to it because it is true. Let's make it a "thing".

It's a pipe-dream though because as most of us can remember, it was a mere 8 years ago that Fox News went full-on PC lackey for the establishment when they forbid the name "Hussein" from being aired and associated with its rightful owner: Barry Soetoro, who was running for President. Naturally that also precluded any discussion of his documented Muslim'ness and Communist indoctrination. Let alone his debatable Natural Born Citizenship, and most importantly his unquestionable Anti-Americanism.

Why don’t we sing her praises, like the Dems in the media do with Bush when we know he can’t win a campaign for dogcatcher? Why do we want to give them reason to panic, even Bubba knows she can’t win anything.

[MrEdd]

No amount of singing can hide the empty auditoriums at her campaign appearances.

Hell, even Yeb gets more people.
