Clinton Approval Survives Wave of Negative Stories

Hillary 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,” according to a New York Times/CBS News Poll.

“Americans now view Mrs. Clinton more favorably and as a stronger leader than they did earlier in the year, despite weeks of scrutiny about her ethics… And nearly nine in 10 Democrats say the nation is ready to elect a woman president.”
