Bill Clinton's favorables are actually a tiny bit higher among men (66-31) than among women (65-31).

[IceSpear]

More apocalyptic news for Hillary's chances.

If this is the best 2 weeks of universal relentless media assault can do, Hillary is in pretty good shape. Just imagine how good she'll look in comparison when the GOP clown car starts to ramp up.

[Beet]

47% won't even say she did anything wrong. Of the remaining 51%, a good chunk of them probably think it's a minor issue, certainly worth less time than the media has spent bleating over it.

What has been the ratio of negative to positive Clinton stories from November to March? 9 to 1? And she is still viewed favorably 53-44. Lol. Of course they'll get her eventually (which is why she should announce she's not running), but it's still funny.

And yet PPP has them at 49-42. I know that was a poll of voters vs simply a national poll but one of them has got to be a off by quite a bit.

Probably more like 100 to 1. A positive Hillary story is quite a rare sight indeed. They mostly range from neutral to intensely negative.

Funnily enough, Elizabeth Warren gets by far the most positive press coverage of any "candidate", because they're trying to force her to run. But if she actually got the nomination? They'd turn on her so fast it would make your head spin.

[Panda Express]

This is frustrating for O'Malley supporters. No matter what gets thrown at Hillary, she seems impervious to everything. Hopefully the Media doubles the amount of negative coverage Hillary gets. It's time for them to get serious about destroying her.

[IceSpear]

Her numbers are going to drop during the Democratic debates.

Why? O'Malley wants to be VP, so he won't be aggressively attacking her. Sanders doesn't run negative campaigns, he always talks about the issues. Maybe Webb, but even he seems reluctant to take her on for whatever reason (cabinet position?). Warren isn't running. I suppose Biden would go down swinging since it would be his last hurrah, but I'm skeptical he'll run.

Sorry dude, but I think the amount of negative coverage has reached the saturation point. At this stage the law of diminishing returns is starting to kick in.

The media's best hope is to find evidence of criminal wrongdoing and bring her down that way. If that doesn't work, maybe hire an assassin?

There will be someone attacking her. Biden is ambitious. He has no reason not to run. There is always Kucinich as well. O'Malley can still attack her and be VP. There is nothing preventing that. It happens to every candidate during debates. There numbers drop when others speak.

The fact that Biden is getting completely crushed in the polls would be a major deterrent. Granted, the same was true in his other presidential runs, but getting crushed as a sitting senator is an entirely different beast from getting crushed as a sitting VP. There's also the fact that he's made no moves toward running or assembled any organization to speak of. He probably wants to keep the option open in case Hillary implodes, plus he doesn't want it to look like he's getting pushed out by a private citizen, but at the end of the day I'd be pretty shocked if he pulled the trigger.

[King]

Guys, most people expect politicians to be liars and thieves. You're not going to beat Hilldawg on that angle.

[Mr. Morden]

Her numbers are going to drop during the Democratic debates.

Will Clinton even agree to participate in any debates?  If she's still ahead in the primary polls by 30 or more points as of 6-9 months from now, she might decline to participate.

And honestly, I'm still not sure if she will even have any primary opponents (other than no name troll candidates like Vermin Supreme) as of 9 months from now.

Sanders sounds genuinely conflicted about whether to run or not.  O'Malley's people acknowledge on background that O'Malley's donors are all Clinton donors, and his pseudo-campaign might only graduate into a real campaign if Clinton were to opt out.  Webb does very little campaigning, and I don't think he's super enthused about running.

So my over/under on how many primary opponents (again, excluding folks with no political experience who we've never heard of, like the no-names who ran against Obama in the 2012 Dem. primaries) she'll have by December is 1.  But 0 is a possibility.

Long term trendline of Clinton favorability, including all pollsters:

[NeverAgain]

I personally never trust these early pollsters, such as Bloomberg. Bloomberg has Hillary as 56 over Warren 12 in NH. While the average of other pollsters have Warren at 31 - 26 over Hillary. Now I am not saying this as what is the actual ideals of the NH Democrats are, but that is why I distrust pollsters.

What are you talking about?  None of the polls have Warren ahead of Clinton in New Hampshire.

I have no idea where you're getting those numbers. The average of all polls has Hillary up 39 points on Warren in NH.

Long term trendline of Clinton favorability, including all pollsters:

Obama is 49-48 favorable in the latest Gallup. It sure didn't take long for them to have basically the same favorable rating. Obama has been attacked relentless for 6 years, so Hillary has a lot more room to go down.

Clinton has been attacked relentlessly for 25 years.

[Tender Branson]

That's a massive drop compared with their previous poll.

Once she announces her run, the next poll will already show a tied favorable rating ...

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

The Obamabots and their passive hatred of Hillary (who shares 95% of The Anointed One's views) is so pathetic.

Not really. I do think she behaved stupidly with the email thing. By now, the Clintons should have learned that the GOP's first instinct with them is to assume that where there's smoke, there's fire, even if there isn't. That doesn't mean she shouldn't be President, though. I can't be the only person who thinks that.

She's a horrible candidate and would make a horrible president. All the sleeze of Bill with no charm.

Make no mistake she is my second choice, but for machiavellian reasons

What an intelligent rebuttal. Thank you for clarifying the key differences between Obama and Hillary.
