Poll: New speed bumps for Clinton

No thread on this at all? Its 10AM in the East...nothing. I told this shrew is unlikable

More people have an unfavorable view of Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton now than at any time since 2001, according to a new CNN/ORC poll on the 2016 race.

While Clinton remains strikingly dominant in the Democratic field, the poll shows that her numbers have dropped significantly across several key indicators since she launched her campaign in April.

A growing number of people say she is not honest and trustworthy (57%, up from 49% in March), less than half feel she cares about people like them (47%, down from 53% last July) and more now feel she does not inspire confidence (50%, up from 42% last March).



In head-to-head match-ups against top Republicans, her margin is tighter than it has been at any point in CNN/ORC's polling on the contest.

On the Republican side, though, no candidate has successfully broken out of the pack.



The group of seven that have come to dominate most polling on the race hold the top of the charts in this poll, Sen. Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush leading the pack with Mike Huckabee, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Sen. Ted Cruz, Ben Carson and Sen. Rand Paul all in the hunt.

Much of Clinton's fade is attributable to shifts among independents, but she's also losing some ground among her own partisans. Her support in the Democratic nomination contest has dropped 9 points since April, and though more than 8-in-10 Democrats said they thought she was honest and trustworthy earlier this year; now, just 73% say so.

The new CNN/ORC poll looking at the shape of the race for the presidency in 2016 finds these warning signs for Clinton, alongside some concerns for the Republican Party's best-known contender, Jeb Bush.

If you click the link to the actual data...

This poll has hilary leading Jeb by 8 points.
May 29-31, 2015 51% 43% * 5% 1%

Yes, the lib base prefers the new alternatives like OMalley, Sanders and potentially Warren.  But they'll all fall in line with Hilary if she wins.

But sheesh, Jeb, for all his experience, and hilary, for all her scandal and negatives.... she's still up 8 points?

I sure hope repubs aren't moronic enough to choose RINO Jeb.  But they probably will be.

Jeb ain't getting it and yeah I read the poll guy. She's slipping...the Repubs have'nt picked a anybody yet. Hil is slipping because of who she is. Nobody secretly roots harder for dems then you 240. You're the David Brooks of Getbig.

I'm actually surprised to see such a dramatic shift.  Maybe you are right that people will not like her as much as Bill.

A poll of ~ 1000 people 18 months before the election

Sheesh, remember how Romney was polling just months/weeks before the election

I'd say at this point these polls are basically meaningless.

It won't take much for any of the candidates in either party to fall on their face or surge ahead

Remember when Grandpa McCain was ahead of Obama or when Rick Perry was looking good until...."Oops"

That she has great name recognition, that things will continue to tighten as we get closer to the election, and that it will likely be a tossup after the GOP candidate is nominated. 

Assuming she is able to overcome the great Bernie Sanders.

If it tightens up it's going to be a tossup.

Although things can change, I'm not convinced Hillary will be able to get enough independents and crossover Republicans to make this a blowout.

???  nope.;    it tightened up in 2008 (mccain leading obama during summer, before choosing palin) and it tightened up in 2012 (romney leading after debate one, until that 47% comment).

And in both races, it wasn't a tossup... obama won by a comfy margin.

HAHAHAHAHA

The difference between 'toss up' and landslide' is a scant 120 electoral votes.

What's 5 or 8 states between friends?

Have to sugar coat these delusions so they go down better.

Rich Eison almost beat Cam Newton in the 40 yard dash at the NFL combine. 

He lost by maybe 6 or 8 seconds, but it was a toss-up.

Imagine what the difference was before the race started "to tighen up".
