Signs are indicating that 2016 Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has hit a speed bump in her campaign for the presidency, with more people having an unfavorable view of her now than at any time since 2001, a new poll has found.
According to a
CNN/ORC poll conducted May 29-31 of 1,025 adults, half of Americans have an unfavorable view of the former secretary of state and a growing number of people say she is not honest and trustworthy.
Specifically, 57 percent say they do not think she is honest and trustworthy compared to 49 percent in March. And 47 percent say they feel she cares about them, down from 53 percent in July.
Fifty percent also say they feel she does not inspire confidence, an increase from 42 percent last March.
Clinton's lead has also slimmed or disappeared altogether in match-ups against top Republican contenders, marking the tightest spread since any point in the survey's history:
- Clinton has 48 percent compared to 47 percent for Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul
- Clinton has 49 percent compared to 46 percent for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio
- Clinton has 49 percent compared to 46 percent for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker
- Clinton leads at 51 percent compared to 43 percent for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush
- Clinton has 52 percent compared to 43 percent for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz
The shift appears to come from independent voters, CNN said, but Clinton is also losing ground among those in her own party. Specifically, her support among Democrats has dropped 9 points since April.
