98. Interesting that a Republican polling firm polled her unfavorability rating lower than national ones

Sun May 3, 2015, 11:28 PM

May 2015

Its no secret she has an already high un-favorability rating roughly at 46%, a few weeks ago she was over 50% favorability which puts her within range of the most popular politicians but what is interesting is her already high unfavorability ratings. I didn't click further than your link to the OP but without knowing a clue which way the undecideds would fall she does have firm supporters & firm opponents she is very polarizing -- similar points the Obama campaign was making in 2008 due to Hillary Clinton campaigning on her electability.

Right now are her national averages
Unfavorable 47.3%
Favorable 46.8%

I have sometimes felt more dislike at some of Obama's cheerleaders (NJMaverick is the biggest name I'm thinking of) than Obama himself but remind myself Obama has power & is set while depending on some of the cheerleaders background they may be as hard luck as I am but personality cults either way I could do without. I gave up fan clubs in politics a long time ago.

Thanks. It's great if he supports $15/hr struggle4progress May 2015 #10

No if. Bernie has long advocated for a living wage- as in for many, many years cali May 2015 #14

I don't mean "living wage" -- I mean $15 struggle4progress May 2015 #25

advcated specifically for that too. Hey, what's Hillary's position? cali May 2015 #34

Clinton will probably have enough $$$ to buy organization so she may not need struggle4progress May 2015 #41

There is no conflict, a living wage is higher than $15/hr in most (but not all) places Dragonfli May 2015 #45
