Poll: Hillary Clinton Seen More Favorably Now Than Before Republican And Media Attacks

Do tell:

Hillary Rodham Clinton appears to have initially weathered a barrage of news about her use of a private email account when she was secretary of state and the practices of her family’s foundation, an indication that she is starting her second presidential bid with an unusual durability among Democratic voters.

Americans now view Mrs. Clinton more favorably and more see her as a strong leader than they did earlier in the year, despite weeks of scrutiny about her ethics, a New York Times/CBS News poll has found. And nearly nine in 10 Democrats say the nation is ready to elect a woman president.  (our emphasis)

No doubt this will only spur Republicans and their media enablers (=cough= Lizard Cillizza =cough= Ruth(less) Marcus =cough=) to even greater heights of non-scandal mongering.  But as much as they flogged the private email account non-scandal, who's talking about that now?  We believe the same will be true with the Clinton Foundation non-scandal, except that the negative media coverage is encouraging donors to back off, to the detriment of people around the world who benefit from the Foundation's charities.  Nice work, dicks.

Here's a clue for the media:  most people have become inured to this.  They had eight years of Republicans and the media trying to impugn and impeach the Clintons.  People have observed and lived with the Clintons for nearly 25 years, and guess what:  they've made up their minds about them already.  More importantly, they see the cruel, reactionary policies and feather-weight alternatives on the Republican/ New Confederate/ Stupid Party side, and they're sentient enough to know what's important and what's not, unlike your "mainstream media."
