Highlight:

By 61% to 34% voters in the newest Quinnipiac poll say Hillary is not honest [View all] cali Aug 2015 OP

it brings another word to mind....vulnerable virtualobserver Aug 2015 #1

I like your sig graphic and have a bumper sticker you may enjoy Dragonfli Aug 2015 #8

You can't defend yourself from smears when only ~34% believe you. Motown_Johnny Aug 2015 #2

In 2008, Obama said: "47 percent of the country against her. That's a hard place to start if you leveymg Aug 2015 #58

I saw this bumpersticker this morning roguevalley Aug 2015 #90

That's only because you can't trust her. morningfog Aug 2015 #3

Yawn ismnotwasm Aug 2015 #4

Quinnipiac poll is a respectable polling organization. MBS Aug 2015 #6

Many people would love it to be a "big problem", but it really isn't nor will it ever be. George II Aug 2015 #10

do post evidence of that claim cali Aug 2015 #13

The ballot will simply have the two names and their affilliation: George II Aug 2015 #19

... ismnotwasm Aug 2015 #24

And theres your problem right there Genghis Khan Aug 2015 #34

Because the only way voters could have an opinion about "unfavorability" jeff47 Aug 2015 #38

Where do you get that offensive "contempt" angle? Who do I have "contempt" for? George II Aug 2015 #52

It's entirely possible that the ballot will look like that tularetom Aug 2015 #63

Again, going back to the polls, Clinton is leading each of the republicans..... George II Aug 2015 #66

Kery is gonna win in a fucking landslide!! pocoloco Aug 2015 #79

Yes it is. 840high Aug 2015 #37

do tell. what does the MSM have to do with Quinnipiac? cali Aug 2015 #12

Sorry, it's not an enourmous problem -- since you mentioned MSM ismnotwasm Aug 2015 #25

What do you expect after months of relentless attacks moobu2 Aug 2015 #5

And the attacks will stop when she runs in the general?? Paka Aug 2015 #7

She's shown that she can successfully repel the attacks, and has been repelling them for........ George II Aug 2015 #15

She didn't repel them well enough to beat Obama. Lorien Aug 2015 #88

It was a totally different situation in 2008, and even then she barely lost. George II Aug 2015 #93

bwahaha. anyone who thinks that attacks by Sanders supporters cali Aug 2015 #14

Then why do you consistently post anti-Hillary OPs and very few pro-Sanders OPs? George II Aug 2015 #16

that is simply false, and proportionately there are far fucking more Bernie bashing cali Aug 2015 #21

Check your ignore filter Fearless Aug 2015 #28

Ohh those awful Bernie supporters! Fearless Aug 2015 #27

She wouldn't look so awful if the mirror Sanders is holding up to her candidacy weren't so clear. Ed Suspicious Aug 2015 #71

I expect better politics from her, moobu2. she has dragged out the email thing and it roguevalley Aug 2015 #91

Could be why Biden has been in_cog_ni_to Aug 2015 #9

Yet in the matchups, she still defeats the 'pugs, so it isnt the problem you make it out to be. stevenleser Aug 2015 #11

she is within the margin of error cali Aug 2015 #17

She hasn't even started campaigning. I'm not worried. Once there is a GOP nominee and folks get stevenleser Aug 2015 #20

She's been campaigning since 07, if not earlier n/t ram2008 Aug 2015 #31

That's a cute thing to say, but inaccurate. nt stevenleser Aug 2015 #35

So you admit she thinks she can coast to a nomination? Fearless Aug 2015 #32

I'm really not sure how you got that from what I wrote. nt stevenleser Aug 2015 #36

You said she hasn't really started campaigning yet Fearless Aug 2015 #40

Correct, she hasn't. And the "when" is a very good question. stevenleser Aug 2015 #45

She has all the money she needs. Fearless Aug 2015 #47

That you say that shows you really don't understand. nt stevenleser Aug 2015 #49

She didn't lose in 08 for lack of money Fearless Aug 2015 #51

She lost because she ran out of money early because of bad strategy. The same bad strategy caused stevenleser Aug 2015 #54

The mentality that money buys power is foolish Fearless Aug 2015 #55

Use of strawmen is also foolish. And you have done that several times now. nt stevenleser Aug 2015 #56

I stated fact, you changed the subject... Fearless Aug 2015 #59

You haven't stated any facts yet and have deliberately altered what I wrote several times to stevenleser Aug 2015 #68

Bad strategy was running despite her then high negatives (47%), now 13 points higher. Strategy is leveymg Aug 2015 #64

Bad strategy would be running despite the fact that 50% of the country will not vote for you, period stevenleser Aug 2015 #69

A couple months ago, I wrote it was really a 3-way tie between HRC, Jeb, and Sanders. leveymg Aug 2015 #70

Trust her or not, she's still way ahead of her competitors: George II Aug 2015 #95

Obama said she was "likeable enough" 6chars Aug 2015 #101

I wonder what the Hillary supporters are going to do? short circuit Aug 2015 #18

what is denial, Alex? cali Aug 2015 #23

It's Alec, not Alex, and you should apologize for your lack of accuracy here. (Just kidding) Vattel Aug 2015 #114

or the convenient Puzzledtraveller Aug 2015 #30

No worries, according to the many Bagdad Bobs of the HC campaign Puzzledtraveller Aug 2015 #22

And she has all the money! (nt) Ino Aug 2015 #33

and is universally loved by her Facebook and Twitter fans! short circuit Aug 2015 #85

Q poll: Trump numbers soar past Sanders' numbers, Hillary continues to outpoll all onehandle Aug 2015 #26

No one can will in the general with 'honesty issues' such as hers. eom Purveyor Aug 2015 #29

...and a sizeable chunk of those people are willing to vote for her. brooklynite Aug 2015 #39

Sort of depends on the Republican, doesn't it? brooklynite Aug 2015 #41

perhaps, but many are not. cali Aug 2015 #42

I'll go with polls that don't oversample Republicans please ericson00 Aug 2015 #43

Ohh ad homenium attacks are fun! Fearless Aug 2015 #50

The poll did oversample for Rethugs, as Q. polls usually do. pnwmom Aug 2015 #83

This can only go in one direction, prolonged decline. HappyPlace Aug 2015 #44

The problem here HassleCat Aug 2015 #46

Except she is not dishonest.... MaggieD Aug 2015 #61

I know HassleCat Aug 2015 #65

Post removed Post removed Aug 2015 #48

In time that will fester eroding her support and continue her downward trend. AtomicKitten Aug 2015 #53

So I will ask you since Cali hasn't answered.... MaggieD Aug 2015 #57

Point ismnotwasm Aug 2015 #60

That is exactly that - if she's SO bad why is she so far ahead of Sanders and the other candidates? George II Aug 2015 #62

Her support will continue to fade. Hence the Biden talk. morningfog Aug 2015 #67

I would like to see the polling broken down by gender. grasswire Aug 2015 #75

And looks like MaggieD is off the air ... (transparency page is shown) short circuit Aug 2015 #86

And you point this out ismnotwasm Aug 2015 #104

Welcome to DU. Bobbie Jo Aug 2015 #116

that stinks for the hillary fans retrowire Aug 2015 #72

61% including Republicans sounds really good to me. Whatever the negative comment the Thinkingabout Aug 2015 #73

The news media has been hammering her with the false email story for months. pnwmom Aug 2015 #74

Quite right. MSM and the 90% of talk radio that's RW think this is the only wiggs Aug 2015 #82

Propaganda works! liberal N proud Aug 2015 #76

Who needs propaganda? Lorien Aug 2015 #89

HillaryPublicOpinion.png fbc Aug 2015 #77

Yawn. ismnotwasm Aug 2015 #103

I'd be one of them PatrynXX Aug 2015 #78

That poll interviewed more REPUBLICANS than DEMOCRATS -- which doesn't reflect pnwmom Aug 2015 #80

Your chief complaint is that it used 19 more republicans out of 1,563 total polled? lol. morningfog Aug 2015 #84

When combined with the fact that Dems actually outnumber Rethugs, pnwmom Aug 2015 #87

It is not a "significant flip." morningfog Aug 2015 #92

What were polls on ACA? Benghazi? Gun control? Iran nuke deal? Oh yeah, they were positive BEFORE blm Aug 2015 #81

you know I find it insulting Keep-Left Aug 2015 #94

Welcome to DU, in two regards. First, good you're here. Second, your observation is the trend here George II Aug 2015 #98

Exactly how I feel. And I have been saying it as a longtime HRC critic. blm Aug 2015 #100

Why did you use a totally misleading (I won't say "dishonest") subject line? George II Aug 2015 #96

It's not remotely.dishonest cali Aug 2015 #97

I didn't say it was dishonest, in fact I pointed out that I wasn't GOING to say it's dishonest. George II Aug 2015 #99

I'm not going to call you ironically passive aggressive, but I will say a rose is a rose. Bluenorthwest Aug 2015 #106

Misleading ismnotwasm Aug 2015 #102

No TheFarS1de Aug 2015 #110

Many Sander's supporters, if asked, probably said she is untrustworthy. spyker29 Aug 2015 #105

Only because she's not, hifiguy Aug 2015 #108
