The latest Fox News poll of 1,000 registered voters is pretty stunning. To begin with, nearly every Republican tested beats Hillary Clinton in the presidential race. Marco Rubio does best at 50%-42%, but Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush and Chris Christie also lead her. Carly Fiorina ties Hillary at 42%-42%.

This is partly an artifact of the moment, with terrorism rated first among important issues, with 24%. The Democrats’ favorite issues–climate change, race relations, gay marriage and abortion all rate close to the bottom with 3%, 3%, 2% and 2% respectively. More than that, though, this poll (and others like it) confirm what many have been saying for a long time: Hillary is a lousy candidate. The simplest indicator is the “honest and trustworthy” question, where Hillary comes out on the short end, 58% to 38%, with 4% undecided. That meagre undecided percentage is the killer: American voters know who Hillary is, they don’t like her, and they aren’t going to change their minds. Nevertheless, she wins the Democratic primary polls going away, simply because her party doesn’t have anyone else.

33% said the Democrats are doing the right thing, 56% said they are doing the wrong thing. This is probably related to the fact that 66% say “the United States is at war with radical Islam,” while only 29% disagree.

All of those numbers will bounce around from poll to poll, but the bottom line is that the issues landscape is currently bad for Democrats, whose candidate is also well known and poorly liked.

'Hardball' Ignores Poll Showing Hillary Losing to Six GOP Hopefuls; Shows WaPo Poll Showing She's More Trusted on Terrorism

By Ken Shepherd | November 23, 2015 | 9:09 PM EST

A new Fox News poll shows Hillary Clinton losing six different matchups with prospective GOP rivals in the 2016 presidential race. Fortunately for her, MSNBC Hardball guest host Alex Wagner this evening completely ignored the alarming news by picking up a Washington Post poll statistic showing Hillary with a stronger approval rating than her GOP rivals on the issue of combating terrorism.

For her part, MSNBC's Wagner elected to focus on a brand-new Washington Post poll which shows Clinton more trusted than her GOP rivals on the issue of handling terrorism. That poll was formally released this morning, but you'll notice that question number one was "held for release" at a further date; as it stands there appears to have been no question on this poll asking voters whom they'd back in an election were it held today. What's more, the polling sample in the Post poll is a plus-10 Democratic skew: 33 percent self-identifying as Democrats, 23 as Republicans, 36 as independents, other and no-opinion each at 4 percent. That surely has something to do with the pro-Hillary skew on the terrorism question. -
