Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forum#HillaryMen: Why the Overhyped Hillary "Liar" Poll Is a Joke (HILLARY GROUP)
The Beltway commentariat was abuzz this week with the latest purported bad news about Hillary Clintons campaign to become Americas first woman president.
A poll by Quinnipiac University contained what appeared to be some disturbing news for the most accomplished female political leader of our time.
Said a breathless Quinnipiac press release: Liar is the first word that comes to mind more than others in an open-ended question when voters think of Clinton.
From the dismal precincts of the leering morning zoo testosterone fest on ratings challenged MSNBC to a column by the reliably anti-Hillary pundit Molly Ball of the august Atlantic magazine, this little data nugget was seized on like a hunk of glinting pyrite in the pan of desperate gold hunters eager to see Hillary fail.
Yet like so many of the bad news for Hillary stories created by a single cherry-picked piece of data in a polling universe that (still) shows Hillary dominating the Democratic primary and the general election, the liar claim is just another bit of fools gold.
And in this case it was mined with rank dishonesty, presented unethically by a pollster as a major find, and seized upon by an insider media class determined not to witness Hillary Clinton taking the oath of office in January of 2017.
Lets go inside the Q poll numbers and see if liar stands up as any kind of rational data-based descriptor for general public attitudes about Hillary....
***
For Quinnipiac not to break down the political ideology of the answers to the open-ended question and to present liar as representative of the general American voting public raises serious ethical questions about their polling work.
But of course, thats how the spin cycle works and how its specifically aimed at the most viable Democratic female presidential candidate in U.S. history....

As to this poll, it is summed up very neatly: "And in this case it was mined with rank dishonesty, presented unethically by a pollster as a major find, and seized upon by an insider media class determined not to witness Hillary Clinton taking the oath of office in January of 2017."

I use the news app Zite, among others, so it's easy to get a snapshot of what's trending, and where--in fact, I'm starting to do comparisons every time I see OTT anti-Hillary crap
