Hillary’s star appeal fading

It’s now obvious that Hillary Clinton’s negatives are rising among American voters. A Harris Interactive survey says that a majority will not vote for her, and a Gallup poll this week finds her favorability among Democratic primary voters dropping from 82 percent in January, to 74 percent in March. By itself, this slippage would not be fatal. But it begs the key question: Why is Hillary dropping? Usually a candidate only falls in the polls when she is attacked by her rivals, or is the object of a major scandal. Yet, Obama and Edwards are treating her with kid gloves — avoiding even the most gentile of criticisms. So noteworthy are their all-positive campaigns, that when Obama’s fund-raiser, David Geffen, knocked Bill for his pardons, it became the central campaign event in January. And, for once in her life, Hillary is not currently on the griddle for any scandal. There are no daily exposes of her financial or Bill’s marital misconduct. Nobody is hitting Hillary. The real bad news for her campaign is that Hillary is losing support -— not due to any attacks on her, but because people are watching her wage her positive campaign, and are concluding that they just don’t like her. It is Hillary’s own campaign appearances that are driving up her negatives!
