HRC's favorability ratings: Approve 45%, Disappr: 53%. By Party: Rep: 90% Disappr; Dems: 86% Approve

We have all heard the GOP toadies of M$M quote HRC's 'terrible' approval ratings of Approve: 45%, Disapprove: 53%.

but they never break it out by Party. Quinnipiac University poll is the only one I know that shows the results by party:


Quinnipiac University. Aug. 20-25, 2015.

The favorability for HRC is the above cited: Approve: 45%, Disapprove: 53% over-all.

but broken down by party it's:

                   REP          DEM
Approve:          8%         86%
Disapprove:    90%         12%

So, in other words, the Republicans, who are inclined to believe Obama is a alien Muslim and Global Warming is a hoax, think Hillary is a witch. So what else is new. The typical GOPer is programmed by FOX News. The GOPers are as reasonable and rational as any Ku Klux Klan member. And that slews the results. And the GOP toadies of M$M in quoting polls numbers - stated in the aggregate - that are so divergent by party are helping to promulgate a lie. The over-all poll results hides the huge disparity by party.

But when they ask people who they would vote for, HRC beats all the GOP crazies by a comfortable margin.

numbers include independents. Let's also not forget the "who would you vote for" question as political observers know favorability ratings and who people end up voting for in general election is not the same thing.

But the poll only shows that she beats trump by anything outside the MOE, which is at +/- 2.5%

Bernie beats Trump and Bush beyond the MOE and is in a statistic toss up with Rubio.
