Uh Oh: Americans Not Warming to Her Majesty, New Poll Finds

It's far too early for Democrats to hit the panic button, but voters' attitudes toward their would-be First! Woman! President! are decidedly cool -- and have headed in the wrong direction ever since she announced (and re-announced) her campaign. The Associated Press' latest national poll is jammed with worrisome signs for The Queen. She's not going to be happy about these numbers, especially in the wake of her excruciating "listening tour" personality makeover/reboot. And you wouldn't like her when she's angry -- or in general, it would appear:

 

 

 

As you can see, her overall favorability has dropped nine net points since last summer, clocking in at a weak 39 percent. Less than half of respondents call her competent or decisive, while just 41 percent and 40 percent of Americans says she's "likeable" and "compassionate," respectively. The latter number has to be especially troubling to Team Hillary, given the enormous advantage Barack Obama held over Mitt Romney on that measure. The notion of electing a female president is surely inspirational to many people, but that inspiration isn't translating over to Hillary Clinton herself. And just last week, in her first national interview of her three-month-old campaign, Mrs. Clinton asserted that Americans "should and do" trust her. Nope. Her honesty score slides to an abysmal 31 percent in this survey. Perhaps voters aren't keen on being flagrantly lied to about secret email accounts, or listening to entitled, arrogant candidates 'no-comment' on questions regarding tens of millions of dollars in undisclosed, unvetted, unreported foreign donations.

I forget who said this 'The More People Get To Know Hillary, The Less They Like Her'.
