Hillary is right, "Email" unfairly dominated what Americans heard about her.

The media's nonstop coverage of Trump gave voters a larger number of topics to deal with and his scandals got buried in favor of reporting all the fresh craziness he spouted daily. For Hillary the opposite was true, and the press was determined to concentrate on any potential scandal rather than present something as droll as her complex policy issues. The results are clear in these word clouds, and in the final stretch of the race, the data shows what the voters took away from each candidate:










"Email" Dominates What Americans Have Heard About Clinton

These findings are based on an ongoing research project conducted by Gallup together with the University of Michigan and Georgetown University. Gallup conducted more than 30,000 interviews with U.S. adults from July 11-Sept. 18 to measure Americans' daily recall of what they read, saw or heard about the two major party candidates.
