Ready for Hillary? Perhaps not, as a new ABC News/Washington Post poll shows Clinton’s “image continues to decline.”
The latest numbers show that a full 53% of Americans view Clinton in an unfavorable light, the highest number in over 7 years for the former First Lady. Worse, her negative favorability numbers are a whopping 8 percentage points higher since July of this year.
The Post adds: “Almost twice as many having a ‘strongly unfavorable’ view of her (39 percent) as ‘strongly favorable’ (21 percent).”
What’s even more surprising for the presidential candidate who wants to break the glass ceiling? Women don’t seem too fond of Hillary either.

So much for the sisterhood. More women view Hillary Clinton in a negative than positive light, according to the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll.
The poll found that among the general population, 53% viewed Clinton unfavorably compared to 45% that view her favorably. Among women the numbers were not much better.
Despite women being a core audience for the Democrats, just 48% of women said they viewed Clinton favorably compared to 51% of women that viewed her unfavorably. The poll also showed trouble for Clinton when it comes to younger voters, with 50% of voters aged 18-39 saying they had a negative view of Clinton compared to 47% with a positive view.
Women and younger voters were a key component of President Obama’s electoral victories in 2008 and 2012. If Hillary can’t even win the female demographic, running on a platform of entitlement and inevitability as the first woman President, then her campaign is in serious jeopardy.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if you’re a man or a woman – when the first word associated with you is the word ‘liar’, in a field such as politics that is littered with liars, you’re not going to perform very well.
Seems nobody is really “Ready for Hillary” at this point.
Comment: Is Hillary such a bad candidate for President that she could lose the women’s vote?
