Add to that she just plainly not a particularly likeable person.

Default Who cares?

Polls had Romney winning the election right up until Ohio and Florida went BLUE on election night.

Whatever Hillary's "numbers" are, the GOP candidates are far, far worse, in reality. Polls don't tell the whole story obviously.

Not a fan of Mrs Clinton but the last national poll released this past week, Fairleigh Dickinson, has her at 45%. Is there any candidate in either party who wouldn't wish for 45%?

"skewed" polls did. The regular polls did not. And Nate Silver predicted it pretty much dead on. The difference between "wishing" something to be true so badly that you fudge the numbers, and looking at actual data.

Polls tell you a pretty good answer if you dont twist them to lie to yourself. I have no reason to suspect these polls are wrong.

My theory is that Democrats see her as damaged goods. I'm sure the same thing would happen on the other side of the aisle if a Republican candidate was facing such serious allegations. If there was an electable alternative option to Hillary, her poll numbers might be even lower.

The article was just a couple days ago. But the data polled is probably before Hillary's second non- government server was discovered. Hillary rates so bad with males, especially employed males that she will never win in a general election.

It's a dead horse. Inevitably she will have to drop out but it won't be any time soon.
She is probably waiting to see and to figure out what the best sob story is... either a medical issue or blaming the GOP but it will probably be a combination of the two, including waiting if Florina will be out before her so she can claim war on women as part of her outing!

For sure it will not be her own wrong doing and dumb handling of Bengazi and server gate! What difference does it make at this time!

Sadly the family members and most Americans feel the same that Bengazi was handled totally wrong and on top of leaving these Americans behind and left out to die, the video cover up made it worse than it already was.

As a Dem, I can toy with the idea of voting for a Trump or Sanders or any of the people running -- but when it gets down to it and I actually have to vote, I'm voting for Hillary. About the only thing that would make me change my mind is if she were arrested for murder -- and that's it.

That is seriously disgusting that you would consider a shill who can't even respond in a straightforward manner to allegations of e-mail misconduct. While I agree this is an overblown, partisan effort to bring down Hillary, she really doesn't have any shred of credibility how she handled the situation; in addition, she isn't for reinstating glass steagall, was opposed to same-sex marriage until 2013, and refused to show a stance on the Keystone Pipeline XL until a couple weeks ago. I am not a fan of a corporate suck-up who will advocate for disastrous free trade deals like the TPP(she did recently speak out against it, but look at the Clinton presidency); meanwhile Sanders has been consistent for his beliefs, organizing sit-ins against segregation and marching with MLK while Hillary Clinton was campaigning for Barry Goldwater who voted against the Civil Rights Act. I refuse to vote for a do-nothing centrist like Clinton but instead vote for a man like Bernie, we haven't had a President like him since Eisenhower and before(he also wants to break up the big banks, just like Teddy Roosevelt).
