Despite an aggressive cheerleading campaign by the mainstream media to declare that Hillary Clinton “won” her testimony before the House Select Committee on Benghazi, polling data show her evasive answers left more Americans feeling she is dishonest.
The latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll reveals what Americans really feel about Hillary’s role in the Benghazi tragedy.
“Clinton dropped 10 points on the question of if she was likeable and easygoing. She dropped 10 points on if she could bring real change,” The Washington Free Beacon reports.
NBC News and the Wall Street Journal conducted two polls in October, one two days before her testimony and another three days later.
Hillary took a hit on the issue of favorability. The share of voters who have a “very positive” view of her dropped two points after her testimony, despite raving media reports she grew her support.
Despite media reports the hearings made voters hate the Republican Congress, the poll shows that the share of Americans who want a Republican-controlled Congress grew three percent after the hearing.
The share of voters who planned to vote in the Democrat presidential primary fell three percent after the hearings, which isn’t what the media told America. The share who planned to vote in the Republican primary rose one percent.
The share of voters who felt “very good” about Hillary being “knowledgeable and experienced enough to handle the presidency” fell two percent after the hearing.
The share of voters who felt “very good” about Hillary “being honest and straightforward” fell one percent after the hearing, instead of growing as the media repoted.
The share of voters who felt “very good” about Hillary “having high personal standards that set the proper moral tone for the country” fell six percent after the hearing compared to when the question was last polled in April.
