Her die-hard supporters may feel otherwise, but her numbers never grew. Regardless of how you feel about Bernie, if you look at the polling Hillary's numbers general flat-lined or shrunk some. She doesn't poll well with independents and has a high unfavorables.

The lies during the debates and the unnecessary attacks and misrepresentations have turned off a lot of people that would have sucked it up in Nov despite her corruption.

I think she'll have to rely on Trump-fear more than anything else to have a chance in Nov.
