A record number of Americans now dislike Hillary Clinton
Washington Post ^ | 8/31/2016 | Aaron Blake

Hillary Clinton hit her stride after the Democratic National Convention, riding to a double-digit lead over Donald Trump in some national and swing-state polls -- her highest of the year.

As of today, though, Americans' views of her just hit a record low.

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows 41 percent of Americans have a favorable impression of Clinton, while 56 percent have an unfavorable one.

That's the worst image Clinton has had in her quarter-century in national public life. Her previous low favorable rating this year was in July, when it was 42 percent, lower than any mark in historical Post-ABC polls except a few points in the 1990s when a large share of the public had no opinion of her. Her previous high for unfavorable views was in June, when 55 percent disliked Clinton.

Which means, by Democrat operating parameters, she will be elected.

Well, if you factor in the #NeverTrump’ers and the Cruzinista brigade, that’s probably accurate.

But of course. Didn’t you know that the number of votes you get is inversely proportional to the number of people who like you?

She’s a liar.
She’s corrupt.
She’s a lesbian.
She’s a threat to National Security.
She’s a committed “Marxist” (where my money is concerned)
She’s fat and ugly.

What in the world is there TO like about this beast?

Never goes below forty if it’s a Dem. Just like the Republican always closes to within one but can’t take the lead.

Nope. The press will report on Obama’s dog instead.

What’s wrong with that 41%?

Never forget: half the population is below average.

Hillary doesn’t travel well.

Her failing medical condition is now as serious to her email scandal.

Also he didn’t contribute to the Clinton Crime Foundation.

LOL, ABC/WaPo will only report favorability ratings. They won’t report the actual general election match-up numbers from their own poll.

Yup. A net 1 point difference in favorability for Clinton over Trump would likely show, I don't know, about a 1-point Clinton lead among RV. And then when converted to LV.....

I kind of like "slattern".

Excellent choice of words! It rolls off the tongue just before you can collect enough saliva to expectorate the taste into the gutter where it belongs.
