THEY REALLY DISLIKE HER – AT 9:51 A.M. ET:  Hillary Clinton may be steamrolling toward the Democratic nomination, but that doesn't mean the public is overwhelmed with enthusiasm.  In fact, her "we love you" rating has reached a new low.  From the Washington Free Beacon:   

Hillary Clinton’s unfavorability rating has hit a record high as the former secretary of state pushes to become the Democratic nomination for president, a campaign that has been weighed down by inquiries surrounding her use of private, unsecured email at the State Department.

Currently, 55 percent of American voters view Clinton unfavorably, according to a CNN/ORC poll released Tuesday that was conducted in the days leading up to the Democratic primary in South Carolina, which Clinton won over the weekend. This represents the highest unfavorable rating that Clinton has registered in the history of the poll, which has asked the question since March 1992.

The share of Americans viewing Clinton negatively has ticket up three percentage points in the last month as reports have continued to emerge about the presence of classified information on Clinton’s private server, a controversy that has been brewing for nearly a year.

More than 2,000 Clinton emails that the State Department has released to the public under court order contain classified information, though the agency and Clinton’s campaign have insisted that the correspondences were not marked classified when they originated on her email. Twenty-two messages have been upgraded to top secret, and those were blocked from release because of their high sensitivity.

COMMENT:  If she wins, she will probably be the most unpopular new president in the nation's history.  The same could probably be said of Donald Trump, should he win.

As the comedian Ted Lewis used to ask, "Is everybody happy?"

Uh, well...
