Will the Scandals hurt Obama and Hillary Clinton? (1 Viewer)

Republicans, instead of using all your energy to make others look bad why don't you take that energy and find yourself a blue collar guy whose views on life aren't from 1915. Put him up, where is he? I'll vote for him!

It takes more than your vote to win anything.

No one except extreme Republicans even have a clue what you're talking about regarding these 'scandals'.

That's not true at all. Lots of progressives have been sharply critical of the administration with regards to the AP/Fox issue.

Ask around.

So far we have the Benghazi story, the IRS story, the AP story, and the Rosen story. There are several posters who have speculated that these stories will severely damage Obama, and, in the case of Benghazi, Hillary Clinton as well. So I thought it would be interesting to run a poll on the subject.

i know this makes me come off as either stupid or disinterested (can't figure out which) but I have not heard about one of the things you listed

I have trouble believing you haven't at least heard about Benghazi- the rest I can see.

Where is my $80, mother####er? When are you going to pay your debts?

tim just had to start his own thread on this already dead horse.

We get it. You're insane.

Quinnipiac has HRC's approval rating down 9 pts

http://news.yahoo.com/hillary-clinton-approval-plummets-benghazi-152200634.html

They show a big drop in her favorability rating from previous surveys. Back in February, Quinnipiac had her at an all-time favorability high. Sixty-one percent of respondents had a positive opinion of her, with only 34 percent judging her unfavorably. The latest poll shows a drop of nine points, with a positive/negative split of 52 to 40 percent.

June 17, beginning at 6:45 p.m. during Special Report and continuing into On The Record through 7:15 p.m.

I'm not big into politics, but with all the talk about this, I'll definitely tune in.

Since this post Obama's approval rating has from 48.3 approve /48 disapprove (+0.3) to 41.7/53.6 (-12.0).

So it's been a decline of 12.3%.

True, but are you really suggesting that it's primarily because of the scandals? IMO, it's almost all due to the stagnant nature of the job market.

Do I think some people who were in the "approve" column are now in the "disapprove" column because of Libya, the IRS, and the domestic spying stories?

Yes. The first is a national security concern, the second is a problem for people who looked to his integrity, and the third is a problem for liberals, libertarians and conservatives alike.
