Hillary and The Polls

Due to John's love fest with the new poll regarding Hillary Clinton, I feel obligated to point out the most recent New York Times/CBS News poll. While this one agrees with the positive findings of the Washington Post-ABC News Poll which John pointed out, the NYT/CBS poll found that "Forty percent of voters view her unfavorably, more than for any of the other major candidates for president (although they are not as well known)." The NY Times article went on to say that the poll showed "Neither men nor women fully trust that she is saying what she really believes."

The campaign has a long way to go and such a high unfavorable rating is a troubling sight. Whether she deserves it or not, Hillary is a polarizing figure and this problem might only worsen as the candidates further define their platforms. I wouldn't put up the "Mission Accomplished" banner just yet.
