As Hillary’s Numbers Dip, Benghazi Rises As an Issue
The Fiscal Times on Yahooie!! ^ | 6/3/15 | Eric Pianin

There was a ton of bad news for Hillary Clinton in two new polls that put the former Secretary of State’s favorability deeper into negative territory amid harsh voter assessments of her personality – particularly her trustworthiness. When asked by CNN/ORC if Clinton was honest and trustworthy, only 42 percent of respondents said yes while 57 percent said no. That was down from 50/49 percent in March and 56/43 percent in March 2014.

Clinton’s favorability ratings are also the lowest in a Washington Post-ABC News poll since April 2008 when she first sought the Democratic presidential nomination. Today, just 41 percent of Americans say she is honest and trustworthy, in contrast to 52 percent who said she is not. That represents a startling 22 percentage point swing in the past year, according to The Washington Post.

There may be even worse political news for Clinton in these two national polls: The House Republicans’ persistent investigation of her role surrounding the 2012 terrorist attack against a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans including U.S. Ambassador Christopher J. Steven is gaining traction with the public. Asked whether they were satisfied or dissatisfied with the way Clinton handled the crisis, just 38 percent surveyed by CNN said they were satisfied while 58 percent were dissatisfied. That compares with 43 percent who were satisfied and 55 percent who were dissatisfied back in May 2014.

...

Half of the people surveyed for the Washington Post-ABC news poll said they disapprove of the way Clinton is handling questions about Benghazi and 55 percent said they consider the issue to be fair game in next year’s election.

Hillary is trying to win the presidency in the same way that a boxer who clings to the ropes is trying to win a boxing match. It’s impossible.

All Hillary does is stand there and get beaten up by the media day after day without fighting back. She never gives speeches to try to win voters to her side, never gives interviews, never tries to justify her lack of action in Benghazi or her massive influence peddling on behalf of the Clinton Foundation as Secretary of State.

If she thought there were enough Americans stupid enough to vote for her no matter what crimes she may have committed, she has now been proven wrong, because the polls show the majority of the public disapproves of her and her negatives keep increasing.

The problem for the Democrats is that there is no one in their party capable of pulling her off the stage before she self-destructs in a pile of political baggage and brings the whole party down with her.

It was said from “other” sources that Lurch did not break his lag from cycling accident, but from an Iranian assassination attempt, hello!!!

Now do you not believe the same source proclaiming Jezebel Killary injured from a plane crash in IRAN where her escort Navy Seal commander was killed and not by suicide. I do???

It’s important to recognize that the GOPe is up to their necks in Benghazi.

Have any links to show who you're talking about?

Obama won the nomination when running against here because there were so many ABC voters ( Anyone But Clinton). Those democrats are still out there. They are waiting for a viable candidate — “anyone” to emerge!

There is a huge treatment of Benghazi at Conservative Treehouse if you want more.

Bottom line is that the (probable) scheme to send weapons to what became ISIS, to assist in getting rid of Assad, must have gone through Boehner, McConnell, and the ranking members of Armed Services and Intelligence, and they must also have bought in to the emergently concocted video explanation, not for Obama's sake, but for their own hides.
