Poll Says Hillary Would Lose in 6 Key Battleground States

A new poll reveals that Hillary Clinton would lose to a generic Republican presidential candidate in six battleground states if the election were held today. The poll, commissioned by the conservative super PAC American Crossroads, was conducted by Vox Populi from July 7-8 of 1,670 registered voters. It found that in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia, a Republican candidate would win with 50 percent of the vote while Clinton would draw only 42 percent.
The same survey in May found that in a matchup with a Republican, Clinton would lose by a 10-point margin, 51 to 41 percent.
“Despite three months of campaigning and trying to rehabilitate her image, Hillary Clinton continues to struggle in key battleground states,” said Ian Prior, communications director for American Crossroads, said in a statement, according to The Hill.
“As rumors of Joe Biden’s entry into the race grow, Democrats should pay very close attention to Hillary’s glaring and irreparable weaknesses.”
The poll also found that just 38 percent of voters in those states have a favorable view of Clinton while 53 percent have an unfavorable view. And a majority of voters surveyed, or 56 percent, say they don’t trust Clinton; while 58 percent believe she would “do or say anything” to get elected.
These numbers don’t bode well for Mrs. Clinton. It appears that a majority of voters don’t want to see another Clinton in the White House.
Do you think that Hillary can make a campaign comeback… or is her political career almost over?
