2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIs it true
That HRC has never had long term polling data that shows her having an increase in support?
I have read here she always has hivh numbers to start but they never increase over time and in fact decrease significantly as time passes.
Is this true and how.do.we.expect to.win a ge with a cantidate who loses support with scrutiny?

edit to add:

(4,387 posts)...the Republicans did a good job with portraying her as untrustworthy. The unfortunate thing is that she then proved it.

(26,549 posts)The 2008 primary.
Her first Senate run technically had an opponent, but he was pretty damn bad at statewide campaigning. The guy who was supposed to run against her got indicted.
Her second Senate run had an even less popular Republican run against her.
So while it's technically true, we don't really have a very large "sample" of campaigns.
