Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's marathon testimony in front of the US House Select Committee on Benghazi appears to have worked in her political favor.
According to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released Tuesday, the number of Americans who remained unsatisfied with the Democratic presidential front-runner's handling of the 2012 terrorist attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, which left four Americans dead, has dropped significantly.
The poll found that 38% of Americans were unsatisfied with Clinton's answers to questions about the attack, down from 44% who were unsatisfied before her 11-hour testimony in Congress last month.
Among "swing" voters, according to NBC, the percentage who said that they are not satisfied with her handling of the issue plunged from 84% at the beginning of October to 40% now. Just 23%, however, said they are satisfied.
Among Democratic primary voters, those numbers were even better for Clinton.
The poll showed that 72% of likely Democratic primary voters were satisfied with Clinton's answers on the subject, compared to just 58% who previously said they were satisfied before her testimony.
Though Republicans maintain that the ongoing investigation into Clinton's role in the controversy are unrelated to her bid for the presidency, the ranking Republican members of the committee have found themselves on the defensive following a series of gaffes from high-profile members that cast the numerous investigations in a political light.

Dead Ambassador. Islamist takeover. feh...
Where’s my free college? Where’s my free healthcare?
Ref: those last two polls from WSJ/NBC it looks suspiciously like someone from the ruling class dropped a dime on the editor. They are pulling left far more than usual.
Just proves how stupid people are..Hillary Clinton gets away with murder because the media convinced people that she is a “Good person” she admitted that she LIED about Benghazi but people don’t care..they have their free abortions, health care, food stamps, and welfare checks
Disgusting.
Have people lost their moral compass?
What is wrong with people?
Is there any moral outrage about anything at all???
More polls to not believe.
The typical voter has the attention span of a gerbil.
Thanks, Trey, you effing IDIOT. You missed a golden opportunity to expose this b*tch for what she is. But then again, America’s single females vote with their vaginas so I suppose it really doesn’t matter how many people Hillary KILLS.
” NBC News poll”
I stopped reading.
Then, they're not paying attention.
Hillary is a very experienced crime boss. Al Capone could have learned from her.
Zactly Drudge said, as things are getting worse, people are getting dumber and MORE complacent, not getting angry.
WE are the people who are different, like the last few people without the forehead mark in Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Not as long as people get their free stuff. That is all that matters now.
These are the same voters who gave us Obama in 2008, again in 2012, and will in all likelihood give us Hillary in 2016,
The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president.

I am pretty sure (>80%) that these ‘turned around’ voters didn’t watch any actual hearing.
These are the same people who glance at headlines and skim through 5 sec of pundit video clips then form their own opinions....... In other words, “easily led (and being lied to)”.
One must have morals to express moral outrage. Morality is no longer taught by parents, churches, or political leaders. Some would say it started with LBJ’s administration, but I contend that BJ Clinton killed public morality, aided and abetted by the MSM. The MSM remains public enemy #1.
