The bothersome negative poll numbers of Hillary Clinton.
It's difficult for me to wrap my head around the fact that Hillary's negative numbers are up in the stratosphere with Donald Trump's negatives. Why?
After she had left her Secretary of State position but before she announced she was going to run for the Presidency, her positive poll numbers were above 60% ?? She was liked by both Democrats and Republicans. What happened since then?
If polls are mostly evenly divided amongst Democrats, Republicans, and Independents, it is easy to see how almost all Republicans would dislike Hillary. They have been pilloried with negative comments and ridicule from right-wing propaganda radio and print. With about half of the Independents and 15-20% of Democrats being exposed to the same negative stories, day in and day out, I could see how so many people could dislike and not trust her. The right-wing media has a very strong influence on political polling, in my opinion.
Everything is a "scandal" to the right-wingers. It doesn't matter that she has not been found guilty on any of their fabricated charges. It is enough for them just to charge her with wrongdoing. There is no judge or jury. In their eyes, she is guilty. They have been engaged in this exercise for almost 25 years now. We cannot expect them to change their opinions overnight.
If she can get almost all of the Democrats on her side, then it will not matter that much what the polls say about her. Unfortunately, some Bernie supporters and a few Democrats are under a right-wing spell and the Party may need an exorcism to bring them back into the fold.

The American people have learned how her arrogance led to a Yu-u-u-uge security breach. The American people have learned how the D Party colluded to make her "win" their nomination.
For starters.

Sorry, just can't believe Republicans have ever liked her. Kentuck is just making stuff up.

She knows she can't do anything about her likability. It's just not in her, that's baked in the cake. That's why so much of the convention was spent trashing Trump, instead of extolling her wonderful virtues. "I'm not Trump" seems to be her strategy. We tried that tactic on Obama, and it didn't work in 08 and 12. Where is the reason to vote FOR her?

Simple answer for a simple fool.
Her negatives are high because they are earned and deserved.

Hillary has never been liked by anybody.
When they portrayed the Clinton's in Independence Day back in '96, they killed off the Hillary character while making sure everyone knew the dog, Boomer, was okay.
In The American President, which I have never seen, but they killed off the Hillary character prior to the movie even starting and then the Bill Clinton character is free to sleep with some other chick.
I think there were more examples, I used to keep a checklist in my head back in the day.

Party support only keeps a candidate from losing before he or she starts, it takes the middle to actually win.

Still too many question marks, Kentuck.

I missed that sentence in kt's nonsense. And I think you're overly kind regarding Rs' feelings about The SHREW. I think a large percentage - maybe a majority - of Rs loathe her, and have since the 1990s.

For lurking DUmmies, Shillary's negatives are high due to Karma.
Karma doesn't have a menu.
You get served what you deserve, and Shill is deserving of every negative out there.

Yeah. I think I only know one person (D) that is neutral. Everyone else hates the bitch.
She was liked by both Democrats and Republicans.
Republicans are not immune from idiots. They're just not insane.
Like you.
