Clinton's persistent honesty problem...yougov poll

Apart from Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump is the only leading candidate for 2016 who is seen as untrustworthy by most Americans

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is still the Democratic favorite for the presidency, and she has always received high marks for her toughness and readiness to be Commander-in-Chief. In the latest Economist/YouGov Poll more Americans say she is ready to be Commander-in-Chief than say that about any of six other contenders. There is also more trust in her ability to handle terrorism, although Americans have doubts about all the candidates (as well as about President Obama). But the latest Economist/YouGov Poll also highlights what has been Clinton’s greatest weakness – the perception that she lacks honesty and integrity.

Compared with six other leading Democratic and Republican candidates for the presidency, only one other is seen as not honest and trustworthy by half of the public – Republican businessman Donald Trump. And the candidate who fares best when it comes to perceived honesty and integrity among the public overall is Clinton’s main rival for the Democratic nomination, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders

If a story or in this case a poll is legit you will be able to find a credible source that covers it.

Sources matter.

You have just as much freedom of speech now as you did 3 minutes ago.

If you post RW sources, you're going to be called out on it. People who don't trust RW sources have just as much freedom of speech.

From wiki:


Nadhim Zahawi (born 2 June 1967) is a British Conservative Party politician who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Stratford-on-Avon since 2010, after the retirement of previous MP John Maples. He chairs the All Party Parliamentary Group for Kurdistan.[2]

He is also the co-founder of the international internet-based market research firm YouGov of which he was Chief Executive until February 2010.


Stephan Shakespeare (born 9 April 1957) is the founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the British Internet-based market research and opinion polls company YouGov.

He is the former owner of the websites ConservativeHome (now owned by Lord Ashcroft) and PoliticsHome (now owned by Dods Parliamentary Communications Ltd) which he launched in April 2008 after closing down his Internet television channel 18 Doughty Street.


WTF with all the RW sources?

From Wiki;

During the United States presidential election, 2012 campaign, on the basis of one of the most extensive opinion polls ever conducted, YouGov predicted that Barack Obama would win the national vote by 2%.[18] This prediction proved to be one of the most accurate out of all pollsters covering the election
