Keep reminding us how she’s inevitable.
Hillary Rodham Clinton’s standing is falling among Democrats, and
voters view her as less decisive and inspiring than when she launched her
presidential campaign just three months ago, according to a new Associated
Press-GfK poll.
The survey offers a series of warning signs for the leading Democratic
candidate. Most troubling, perhaps, for her prospects are questions about
her compassion for average Americans, a quality that fueled President Barack
Obama’s two White House victories.
Just 39 percent of all Americans have a favorable view of Clinton,
compared to nearly half who say they have a negative opinion of her. That’s
an eight-point increase in her unfavorable rating from an AP-GfK poll
conducted at the end of April.
The drop in Clinton’s numbers extends into the Democratic Party. Seven
in 10 Democrats gave Clinton positive marks, an 11-point drop from the April
survey. Nearly a quarter of Democrats now say they see Clinton in an
unfavorable light.
“I used to like her, but I don’t trust her,” said Donald Walters of
Louisville, Kentucky. “Ever since she’s announced her candidacy for the
presidency I just haven’t liked the way she’s handled things. She doesn’t
answer questions directly.”
This while the media shields her from any questions that would prove
difficult. Just imagine how bad things would be is she actually had to
answer a difficult question.
The survey suggests that voters aren’t sold on her reinvention: Only 4
in 10 voters say they view Clinton as “compassionate.” Just 3 in 10 said
the word “honest” described her either very or somewhat well.
May be time for another re-re-re-re-launch:
Hillary favorability falls to 39%. Likeable? 41%. Honest? 31%. Time for
another "listening tour"? https://t.co/dZyMjRcBTY
