I say Hillary's poll numbers will start to trend down in a week or two as the public absorbs the Benghazi hearings.
Not because the Republicans did well with it. In fact Hillary did a great job, but only people that are political junkies will see how well she did. I say that the average person in the US that doesn't pay much attention will sour on Hillary just because she is associated with the hearings.
Just as there is a conservative bubble there is also a liberal bubble. Liberals can see Hillary cleaned their clock and revel in it. Average person not interested in politics are going to say she's just part of the political game that they are tired of.
I know some will disagree and the only measure will be time to see if I am correct.

I'm sorry I don't have a link or more details on it. Someone cited it during the live coverage, cannot remember if it was Matthews or O'Donnell. I do know it wasn't a poll of junkies or liberals. No luck on digging it up yet.
Non-junkies do see clips on the news and there were some pretty shameful displays by the committee members.
But yeah will be interesting to see how this plays out in the weeks ahead.

Pardon the metaphor, but she put one out of the park in the first inning; there's eight more ahead.

(687 posts)I said Liberals can see she cleaned their clock, referring to the republicans and they (the liberals) can revel in that.
New here, so now I leaned I need to spell it out more clearly.
