Hmm... I'm looking at the internals.... awful poll for Clinton. lol

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I like the numbers, but I am ashamed at the only 40% who disapprove of that murderous thug.

Is this the same outfit that had Obama over McCain by 12 last month?  Just asking.

[Mr. Morden]

Clinton: 44% favorable - 54% unfavorable

That's actually the highest unfavorable rating for HRC in any WaPo poll going back to 1992.

If these numbers were true it would helpt restore my faith in the American electorate.  I'm doubting them, though.

This could be real. Hillary's approvals are the same in RR as they are here.... hmmm...
