Camp Clinton is terrified about her unfavorable rating going up? Why? Could it be the superdelgates?

That rating is going to go up. The only question is will it be in the primary or general election.

Huffington post poll on Apr 15th:

“[The numbers] are pretty bad,” said Democratic strategist Brad Bannon. “The No. 1 reason that her favorability is so bad is that you have large numbers of Americans who say they don’t trust her. I could make it sound more complicated than that, but that’s really what it is. Voters see her as the ultimate politician, who will do or say anything to get elected.”

The OP says that "Camp Clinton is terrified about her unfavorable rating going up" - I was looking for some source that anyone in "her camp" had actually suggested such a thing.

how much money was being diverted into the Hillary Victory Fund. They may or may not care about whether that's illegal, but I'd be amazed if it doesn't make them worry about how weak Hillary's support is. A lot of them signed on with Hillary months ago, when conventional wisdom said she'd put Bernie away by the end of February. Here we are, two months later, with Bernie still in the race and the FBI interviewing Hillary. So yes, the last thing Hillary needs right now is higher unfavorables.
