Hillary Clinton’s image is now at its lowest point in her 24-year career on the national political scene, a new poll shows.

Indeed, politically, she’s doing as bad as she ever has – if not worse. How will Clinton fare after the convention? The FBI declined to prosecute Clinton over her email practices but its director said she had been “extremely careless” handling classified materials. So it’s perhaps not surprising to see Clinton’s numbers take a hit.
But for today, at least, such details do not matter to the Clinton campaign officials, because they aren’t getting the story they wished for. Her best applause lines, when she criticized Republican nominee Donald Trump without actually naming him, drew largely muted reactions. For instance, Hillary only leads Trump by three points among women, 40.1/36.9; less than two weeks ago, that was a 19-point lead at 46.7/27.8.He leads among men 44/36.9, after having (improbably) trailed in that demo for nearly the entire month.
The CBS poll, for what it’s worth, has a similar number saying Clinton is dishonest: 67 per cent.
Bernie Sanders about a rigged political system that favors people in power like the Clintons, talk of just such a conspiracy dominated the Democratic National Convention on day one.
The rest of us have to make sure Trump surrounds himself with more good conservative Republicans like Mike Pence, who, based on his impressive acceptance speech, looks like a flawless VP choice.
One America News Network and Graving Marketing’s survey asked 3,462 registered voters all over the United States, both Clinton and Trump are viewed as “Unfavorable” by more than 50% of all the responders – Clinton has 53% unfavorable opinion while Trumps is viewed as unfavorable by 51% of the respondents. “Everywhere we go, we have massive crowds like this, and so many women signs all over the place”. At the time, 39 per cent were unfavorable and 23 per cent had no opinion. And some of those polls have Trump’s lead outside the margin of error, as well. That’s unprecedented in the dozens of CNN polls on her since 1992.
He added, “Hillary Clinton is now held captive by radical ideologues pushing an agenda far outside the mainstream of this country”.

The former secretary of state has solidly been trailed by Trump in the poll throughout most of the 2016 presidential race, however, only on May 9, the Republican presidential nominee briefly pulled even with Clinton with a 0.3 percentage point lead. Hillary Clinton intellectually, personality-wise, is not capable.
