Hillary Clinton’s numbers slipping
In recent weeks, the conventional wisdom on Hillary Clinton seems to have shifted. Her White House bid has gone from being perceived as an inevitable juggernaut to decidedly shaky ground.
While this might seem surprising, a growing number of political insiders have suggested they saw this coming for a very simple reason: Clinton just isn't good at campaigning.
Clinton's recent book tour was supposed to serve as a soft launch for a 2016 bid, but it quickly ran into obstacles. First, Clinton made a series of gaffes about her wealth. Then, last weekend, an interview with Clinton made headlines for her criticism of the Obama administration's foreign-policy positions.
As a result, Clinton's team, who declined to comment on this story, ended up on the defensive and issuing a statement assuring the public she and the president would end up "hugging it out." After all this, Clinton's poll numbers have taken a hit with a recent survey showing her slipping against her likely Republican rivals. More here.
