…in the latest Bloomberg poll, Donald Trump is STILL more popular than Hillary Clinton.
See for yourself, in this segment from John McCormick’s article at bloomberg.com:
For a president with historically low poll numbers, Donald Trump can at least find solace in this: Hillary Clinton is doing worse.
Trump’s 2016 Democratic rival is viewed favorably by just 39 percent of Americans in the latest Bloomberg National Poll, two points lower than the president. It’s the second-lowest score for Clinton since the poll started tracking her in September 2009.
The former secretary of state has always been a polarizing figure, but this survey shows she’s even lost popularity among those who voted for her in November.
More than a fifth of Clinton voters say they have an unfavorable view of her. By comparison, just 8 percent of likely Clinton voters felt that way in the final Bloomberg poll before the election, and just 6 percent of Trump’s voters now say they view him unfavorably.
How could Democrats not have known? How could they not have known that the person their “leadership” (and is that ever a loosely used term) fixed the deck to nominate was an electoral stifferoo?
For God sake, she lost 23 primaries to Bernie Sanders – a virtually unknown senator from a tiny northeastern state, who was a self-described socialist, would have been the oldest President ever elected, would have been the first Jewish President…and, if that weren’t enough, Sanders wasn’t even a Democrat until less than two years before he ran.
If Hillary Clinton needed a fixed deck to beat someone as unelectable as Bernie Sanders during the Democrats’ nominating process, why would it be implausible that she could lose to unelectable Donald Trump in the general election?
And, despite the aboverealities, there is still talk that she might try again in 2020.
Let me end with the following question: who would want another Clinton run more? The DNC, or the RNC?
Tough one…
