Independents Sour on Clinton

May 4, 2016 · 6:21 am ET · 10 Comments

“Hillary Clinton faces a mounting challenge among independent voters following months of attacks from rival Bernie Sanders,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“An April Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll found that Mrs. Clinton’s favorability rating among independents had dropped 15 percentage points in the previous four months. That poll found that 20% of independents viewed Mrs. Clinton positively, compared with 62% who viewed her negatively. In January, that same poll found her with a positive rating of 35% and a negative rating of 54%.”
