jnd,
Historically any poll which has a named candidate vs. a group of other candidates will show the named candidate winning. The reason for this is that people know who that particular candidate is. Simple right?
Hillary Clinton has great name recognition which is a good thing. But unfortunately for her she is the most polarizing candidate to ever run for the highest office in the land.
In other words just about everyone has heard of her but a sizable number of people really don’t like her. No one has ever gotten elected to the Presidency with such high negatives.
Now you won’t hear any of this from the mainstream liberal media. They are trying to make believe that those numbers don’t exist. But alas they are there and they are very important.
Take a look at this:
"A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows the number of people who have a positive view of Clinton has dropped from a high of 58 percent in December to 46 percent today.
The 22 percent who have a “very positive” view of Clinton is lower than any time since the 2008 presidential campaign, and the 21 percent who have a “very negative” view of her is higher than at any point since then."
So, basically you either love her or hate her. This is not how someone gets elected to the Presidency.

A new poll from 2013?!?!? WTF? This is just sloppy research on your end.
BTW- you really should read the stuff you link to. The poll you linked to shows HRC with higher positive ratings than any of the other people listed- including Ted Cruz.
Do us all a favor and stop trying to show us how much you think you know about polling- because you show time and time again that your no expert.

Oh my (eye roll) that poll demonstrates that Hillary Clinton has high negatives. She has been in the public eye since 1992 when her husband defeated George H. W. Bush. That means that for the past 21 years (up to 2013) people have had the opportunity to see her in the public eye as a Senator and Sec of State and guess what?
THEY STILL DON’T LIKE HER!!
Her negatives certainly only go up from there. Do you think suddenly after 23 years they will now love her?
Why do you think her handlers are keeping her campaign low key and her out of the public eye?
Answer: because the more you see and hear Hillary Clinton the LESS you like her.
The only change that we see through the years is her negatives continuing to climb slightly with each passing year/scandal.
"A CNN/ORC poll released Tuesday showed Clinton’s favorability rating at 46%, while 50% of the 1,025 Americans surveyed said they view her unfavorably – her lowest marks in 14 years.
The poll also found that just 42% of Americans consider her honest and trustworthy, while 57% don’t. And three Republican contenders – Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker – are within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points when pitted head to head against Clinton."
Get a clue pal you don’t win with numbers like that. They will be worse one year from today you can count on that.
Next time do your homework or you will not be worthy of my response.
Here’s what you have to do:
Come back with some serious support of Hillary Clinton. Explain to everyone how she overcomes her (now decades) of high negatives. Also explain to me and the others how she can overcome that little trust factor problem the public seems to have with her. And when you get done with that point out how she is not going to be portrayed as yesterdays news.
In short get on the ball you are lazy and out of touch. You are also letting your emotions dictate your position.
In short, get your facts straight or just go away.

OK- teach, I’ll get right on your list of demands. You should sit by your computer holding your breath.
Do my homework?!?!?! You are the one who keeps showing his ass with every post. You are one arrogant character.
I will not go away- I will be here to point out each time you make a stupid statement that is not supported by data.
You are the emotional one. I just like the data.

Still waiting for you to point something out that I wrote that is inaccurate.
It’s easy to personally attack anyone, but you have not yet responded with any sort of counter point. One of the reasons that many of us post is to encounter good debate. Is your entire political argument going to be calling me names? I guess it’s easy to be arrogant when confronted with such weak opposition.
Keep posting though we all need a laugh now and then.

ZEB , we both know , you nor the majority of this board are interested in debate . You and the board are interested in promoting that the correct stance on all matters are of the “CONSERVATIVE” persuasion . In my Opinion this board is a s guilty as any Left Leaning board that I have ever seen . Almost all material contained with in is filtered through FAUX and the like . You get liberals on occasion but you always manage to run them off through ignorant arrogance , Peace

Peace?
Oooookay…well you see Pittski I have my positions on the political topics of the day and you have yours. We then encounter each other on this board and we have a debate…not that difficult to understand. When one of your left wing brethren decides to name call and not address the topic at hand I have to call him out on it. Fair right?
Interesting though the very nature of your complaint has more to do with sheer numbers than subject matter. Neither of us can control what others post can we?
