(14,733 posts)The polls now are meaningless. Any person who runs as a Dem and isn't a complete clown is guaranteed to scoop something like 49-50% of the vote no matter what thanks to demographics, simply because they slap a (D) after their name. Throw in a lot of money spent on advertising and hammering whatever clown steps out of the Republican car, and you've got a win. Clinton just has a hell of a lot more press coverage than anyone else on the left who has said they're 'thinking about it'. And the more she says she's 'thinking about it', the lower her numbers have been going. People 'liked her more' because she wasn't really 'in politics' as Secretary of State. But over the months that she's hinted she's probably getting back in, her favourables have plummeted. She's barely breaking even now, while her husband, who will never be in political office again, has the same sky high approvals she had before she seemed to be getting back into the political picture.
