Clinton's Popularity Plunges As Obama 'Contagion' Spreads

Tyler Durden's picture




 

In December 2012, 70% of those polled viewed Hillary Clinton favorably; in March 2014 it was down to 56%; and now, as President Obama's approval rating hits record lows, only 52% view Hillary Clinton favorably. "She is down across the board," notes the poll, "even with groups that have been her most ardent supporters." As Bloomberg reports, among likely 2016 voters, Clinton remains ahead with 47% support compared to 38% for each of her potential opponents.

 

As Bloomberg reports,

Fifty-two percent of Americans view the former secretary of state favorably, down from 56 percent in March and 70 percent in December 2012, according to the Bloomberg National Poll.

 

The decline means Clinton wouldn’t enter a possible 2016 race as a prohibitive favorite over key Republican rivals. While she still bests them in head-to-head matchups, she doesn’t have majority support against any of them.

 

Among likely 2016 voters, Clinton beats New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, 45 percent to 38 percent, the poll shows. When matched against Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Clinton pulls 47 percent support compared with 38 percent for each of her opponents. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida registers only slightly weaker, drawing 36 percent backing to Clinton’s 47 percent.

 

...

 

“Hillary Clinton may be suffering from contagion from President Barack Obama’s sinking scores. She is down across the board, even with groups that have been her most ardent supporters,”

Sex matters...

Women lopsidedly view her favorably, 61 percent to 31 percent; men see her unfavorably, by 49 percent to 43 percent.

 

Among likely voters, all four of the Republican candidates gain about a 6-point edge with men and Clinton scores a roughly two-to-one margin with women.

So when does Hillary start to distance herself from every Obama policy?

A socialist? Really?

So, when is the last time she advocated for common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange? Because THAT is the definition of socialism, friend.

She is just another corporo-fascist, like they ALL are. Same shit, different day. Get your definitions straight, so you can stop being pushed around by fast-talking shills who get you to vote against your own best interests.

Hillary needs to go away. But calling her a "socialist" isn't going to accomplish that, because she ISN'T.

Arming the Jihadis that are now in Iraq and eating people in Syria started under her watch.  She is rightly splashed with this crap.

"Women lopsidedly view her favorably, 61 percent to 31 percent; men see her unfavorably, by 49 percent to 43 percent."

I don't believe that. Women will tell everyone that they will vote for a woman president but in the end, they'll vote for a man. It's the old "crabs in a barrel" mentality.

If it wasn't like that, there would have been a female president years ago.

There are lots of good reasons why women shouldn't have the  vote. This is one of them.

Aren't there more women voters than men? Yet only about 18% of the senators are women and about 16% are congress "persons" and no presidents. Don't believe what women tell you about how they are going to vote. Actions speak louder than words.

I just stared at the total lack of wrinkles and wondered how does she look so good. (sarc/)  Does she go to the same doc as that freak Tom Cruise?

I still can't get over her "flat broke, in dutch really when leaving the white house"

He made several hundred thousand a year as president for 8 years.  The lived rent free, free meals, free travel, free cable and sattelite, no phone bill, no security bills.  He didnt' even have to pay for all the hookers, say like Charlie Sheen did.  They had zero outgoing cost for 8 years and before that they lived a similar lifestyle while he was governor of Arkansas.  She worked in a law firm prior to that and I know of at least on investment where within a matter of about a month or so, If I remember correctly or even half correct, was at the time considered one of the most fortuitious timed and lucrative trades of all time where she turned 1k into 600k.  

She's crying poor because they had legal fees for his misconduct, which on the taxpayer dime kept spreading the word about some "vast right wing conspiracy".   None of those money troubles prevented him from opening an office in an NYC upscale office building or buying a multi million dollar home in Westchester Co.  

How is she allowed to peddle such bullshit without getting a severe beating from the media, figuratively speaking of course.

You honestly expect a lap dog press to question her highness about financial improprieties?

What difference does it make? hahahaha
