| The Hildebeest's dismal approval ratings prompt Dem fears |
| 2016-04-13 |
| [The Hill] Clinton is now viewed unfavorably by 55 percent of the electorate, according to the HuffPost Pollster average, which tracks findings from 42 different polling outfits. Only 40.2 percent of people view her favorably, according to that average. An Associated Press/GfK poll released last week also found 55 percent giving Clinton an unfavorable rating. In the most recent Gallup poll, released late last month, her unfavorable number was 53 percent versus only 42 percent who saw her favorably. Even Democrats acknowledge those findings are a problem. "They’re pretty bad," said Democratic strategist Brad Bannon, who connected the poor poll numbers to separate findings that show a broad number of Americans don’t trust Clinton. "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," he said. "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." |

| #4 Honestly, I wonder if the Establishment Media is absolutely determined to drag the rotting corpse of Hilary's campaign over the finish line - never mind the obstacles, never mind the truckloads of baggage, the unlikeability, the corruption, the sheer bloody incompetence that she has exhibited whenever she tried to do anything other than stand at Bill Clinton's elbow and look First Lady-ish ... how many news orgs and ageing celebs are in the tank for her, so far that they need a breathing apparatus and a dedicated crew to go on ... |

| #3 "The enthusiasm gap could huge." Or it could be nonexistent. Trump's negatives are even higher. |

| #2 The enthusiasm gap could huge. Her campaigns (and Bill's appearances) have all the eager optimism of the Bataan Death March |

| #1 Why? It's a race by both parties to alienate as many voters this year as possible. At the moment, this could turn out to create the lowest turn out of eligible voters in November in our history. |
