The good news from the Washington Post/ABC News poll this morning? A solid majority of Americans think Hillary Clinton should have been indicted over the e-mail scandal rather than getting a pass from James Comey last week. The bad news? Half of them would still make her President:
A majority of Americans disapproves of the FBI‘s recommendation not to charge Hillary Clintonwith a crime over her handling of email while secretary of state, and a similar number in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll say the issue leaves them worried about how she’d handle her responsibilities as president if elected.
Most also say the email controversy won’t affect their vote choice in the presidential election. But more say it leaves them less rather than more likely to support Clinton, 28 percent vs. 10 percent.
Here’s the chart from the pollster, which is a little easier to read than ABC’s:
So … 56% think Hillary should have been charged, but only 28% say it will make them less likely to vote for her? We have a low bar for presidential candidates these days, it appears. Here’s a question that might keep readers awake at night — would the “less likely” percentage of people have increased with an indictment? Would it have even gotten to 40% if it had increased?
And, by the way, that 28% is probably a high-water mark for Hillary skepticism in relation to the e-mail scandal. Expect that to start dropping after the convention. By Election Day, few mentions of it will be made at all, because it will be “old news” and we will be told that the nation has “moved on.”
