(70,417 posts)This is what matters--the Dems view her favorably
..........The two leading Democratic contenders are broadly popular among their own voters. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is viewed favorably by just 45 percent of registered voters, but among Democrats her favorable rating stands at 79 percent. Fifty-one percent of all voters see Clinton in an unfavorable light.
Forty-three percent of registered voters say they see Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) favorably, including 66 percent of Democrats. Thirty-six percent see the Vermont independent unfavorably.
Clinton maintains a wide lead, 56 percent to 26 percent, over Sanders, while former Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley (D) trails at just 2 percent. Clintons lead is built on a foundation of older voters and African Americans; 68 percent of those over the age of 65 say they support Clinton, compared with just 12 percent who back Sanders. Clinton leads among black voters 67 percent to 14 percent.
But Sanders gets a big boost from younger voters: He leads Clinton among voters between the ages of 18 and 29 by a 46 percent to 42 percent margin.

(5,761 posts)because everybody else sees her as unfavorable. Only Dem voters seeing as favorable will cost her the election. You need to reach out beyond the bubble. Remember, indy voters are the largest voting block in the country. If the GOP takes the indy block, the race is done.

(6,476 posts)that's baseball these days-there are Republicans, Democrats and Independents and nobody in Washington gets above about 45% including the President. No candidate in the entire country is POPULAR

She will be our next President
because in order to win the presidency you have to have cross over appeal, she doesn't.
