Not a fan of the Syria conspiracism but otherwise, good post. I wrote a piece a few months ago that, among other things, covered Clinton’s weakness as a long-standing problem, not just something that appeared with the campaign season. Her poll numbers had been in decline since 2010, more sharply since 2012. They dropped permanently below 50% in some polls in 2014 (in others, it took a few more months). On the same week in April 2015 that she announced she would be running for president, more people were already telling pollsters they disliked than liked her. The trend-line for her was down, down, down. This is like a follow-up to that; her numbers have stayed in the basement, even after all this time. The 2016 election cycle really took a toll on people. I imagine they’re still just sick of hearing about her.
