Evidently, the American public – except for three quarters of Democrats – does not like it when the powerful are judged by a different standard than the rest of us. A brand new Rasmussen poll reveals considerable disagreement with FBI Director Comey’s decision not to seek an indictment of Hillary Clinton.

Quote
A Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey – taken last night - finds that 37% of Likely U.S. Voters agree with the FBI’s decision. But 54% disagree and believe the FBI should have sought a criminal indictment of Clinton. Ten percent (10%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here: http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/questions/pt_survey_questions/july_2016/questions_no_indictment_of_hillary_clinton_july_5_2016.)

That’s a solid majority: 54 to 34. But even more important:

Quote
Sixty-four percent (64%) of Democrats agree with Comey’s decision not to seek an indictment….

63% of voters not affiliated with either major political party and 25% of Democrats disagree with the decision.

Almost two thirds of independents, and a quarter of Democarts! That latter figure is a solid shadow of doubt within the heart of Hillary’s base. Would you vote for a candidate you otherwise liked, but believed ought to have been indicted? If 5 or 10 percent of Democrats stay home or leave the president selection blank as a result of their doubts (and resentment), that could swing the election. But:

Quote
Seventy-one percent (71%) of Democrats – and 50% of all voters – said in late May that Clinton should keep running for the presidency even if indicted – until a court determines her guilt or innocence.

Almost 30 percent of Dems did not want her to keep running if indicted.
