CNN does first major "hit" piece on Hillary with their "trustworthy" poll. [View all]

Polls are done everyday on every subject matter possible. Yet, when a poll asks whether or not a politician can be "trusted", it can do irreparable harm. Can Donald Trump be trusted? Can Jeb Bush be trusted? This was a low blow by a so-called reputable news organization, in my opinion.

<snip>

A growing proportion of Americans have negative views of Hillary Clinton, according to new polls, even as the former Secretary of State remains the overwhelming favorite for the Democratic presidential nomination.

The CNN/ORC survey released Tuesday showed that more Americans now have an unfavorable view of Clinton than at any time since 2001. Fifty percent of Americans say Clinton does not inspire confidence, up from 42% in March of 2014. Fewer think she cares about people like them. And a growing number of people, now up to 57%, do not consider her honest and trustworthy.
