Frontrunner angst: Bush lead evaporates, Clinton favorability hits 7-year low

After five months of forums, fundraising appearances and trips to the early states, the 2016 Republican nomination contest is as unsettled as ever, with no candidate receiving more than 11 percent support and seven candidates all within three points of one another, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

Clinton’s favorability ratings are the lowest in a Post-ABC poll since April 2008, when she was running for president the first time. Today, 41 percent of Americans say she is honest and trustworthy, compared with 52 percent who say she is not — a 22-point swing in the past year.

The current poll looks different than the last Post-ABC survey of the Republican field, in late March. Bush stood at 21 percent then and held a lead of eight points over his nearest rival, Walker. In the intervening time, as more candidates have formally launched campaigns, Bush’s support has been cut in half.

Washington (CNN)More people have an unfavorable view of Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton now than at any time since 2001, according to a new CNN/ORC poll on the 2016 race.

Don’t mourn them, they are just dis-honest and un-trustworty birds of a feather.

[Mouton]

It was a “lead” that was never there.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Or perhaps the thought of a Bush-Clinton race just made Americans hurl. Occam’s razor.

[Jack Black]

We have to start talking about the possibility of a brokered convention. Bush probably stands a good chance of winning a brokered convention.

[dsrtsage]

Just a matter of time, and Fauxcahontis be biding it

[dila813]

honest and trustworthy is defined by a large percentage of these people as being down with the cause, it doesn’t mean ethical.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Oh, I am sure the GOPe has engineered a brokered convention where they can hand the prize to Jebby.

They want him, BAD. And no way in hell he is going to win enough primaries.

[CPT Clay]

We don’t want any more Bushes or Clintons.

[CPT Clay]

41 percent Unbelievable.

[Awgie]

Bubble Boy Bush needs to realize that out here in the real world we are at war on multiple levels. His mushy mouthed perceptions are born of an insular existence made comfortable through inherited wealth. Back in your bubble Jebby Boy.

Its so hard for me to keep the fact in mind.. that there are...so many unethical people in this Nation.

[VerySadAmerican]

52% say Clinton is not trustworthy. And 52% will vote for her anyway.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Jebster, if nominated, will be the next designated loser foisted on the GOP voters by the RNC doing the bidding of The Cheap Labor Express.

“I mourn the plight of these mindless and soulless people”

I mourn for the plight of our once great nation that is composed of so many mindless and soulless people who are allowed so much influence on our direction.
