Clinton’s Negatives Rise But Democrats Not Worried

A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds Hillary Clinton’s stature “has been battered after more than a month of controversy over her fundraising and email practices, but support for her among Democrats remains strong and unshaken.”

“In just seven weeks, a period in which Mrs. Clinton formally began her presidential campaign, the share of people with a negative view of her jumped to 42% from 36% in last month’s survey, and only a quarter of registered voters said they viewed her as honest and straightforward, down from 38% last summer. But she remains highly regarded among Democrats, with 76% saying they viewed her favorably–a greater hold on party loyalty than any of her potential Republican rivals had in the poll taken April 26-30.”
