Poll: Clinton's honesty and trustworthy problem extends to swing states

The Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll finds that by margins of 8 to 14 percentage points voters in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania are skeptical of Clinton's trustworthiness.

In Florida, 51% of voters hold the negative view of Clinton, compared to 43% who feel she is trustworthy. In Ohio, 53% of voters find Clinton not trustworthy, compared to 40% who do. And in Pennsylvania, 54% of voters don't find her honest, while 40% do.

Compounding the possible issue for Clinton, being honest and trustworthy is also the top issue to voters in all three early states.

Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the poll, said that Clinton is experiencing a "continuing slide" with how she is "perceived by voters who continue to say she is not honest and trustworthy."

In 2008, both Hillary and McCain were more qualified than Obama. Obama still won.

Clinton still doesn't seem to like talking to people. She doesn't like to answer questions. Her public speaking and campaign skills are just not the greatest. When she speaks, she just doesn't seem to grab you and move you the way Obama would do naturally with people in a campaign speech.

When it appears you are hiding from answering questions and seems like you are refusing to take a side on big issues, people begin to feel uneasy about you. I think that's a problem Hillary could definitely face moving forward. She is WAY too cautious and afraid of coming down on the wrong side of an issue.

I am still waiting on issues from the other candidates so don't think the other candidates are doing a bang up job either. I wonder why they are hiding from big issues either.

vital to the expected great windfall of campaign ad cause promised by CU in 2016.

Every mass media article will be slanted to pretend the GOP has a single candidate that is not worthless compared to Hillary Clinton.

Should she get the nomination these polls will
be used successfully by the Repugs. I wonder though
whether the same media question will be posed for
the RW candidates.
The media need a profitable circus, so I doubt it.
