It's bengazi and being part of blowing up the middle east-after our soldiers were sacrificed in Iraq and Afghanistan-to create the refugee disaster to balkanaize europe and she has said she wants to bring 500000 a year into the US and how many will be rapists and or terrorists?-then ther is the email lies -and her condescending attitude; this Wash Post article claims trump has the worst image
Hillary Clinton hit her stride after the Democratic National Convention, riding to a double-digit lead over Donald Trump in some national and swing-state polls -- her highest of the year.
As of today, though, Americans' views of her just hit a record low.
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows 41 percent of Americans have a favorable impression of Clinton, while 56 percent have an unfavorable one.
That's the worst image Clinton has had in her quarter-century in national public life. Her previous low favorable rating this year was in July, when it was 42 percent, lower than any mark in historical Post-ABC polls except a few points in the 1990s when a large share of the public had no opinion of her. Her previous high for unfavorable views was in June, when 55 percent disliked Clinton.
Trump, of course, has long been the more unpopular of the two presidential nominees, and he remains so; 35 percent of Americans have a favorable impression of him, compared to 63 percent unfavorable.
But if you look just at registered voters, the new poll actually shows Clinton's image is about as bad as Trump's, with 38 percent having a favorable impression and 59 percent unfavorable, compared to a 37/60 split for Trump.
Clinton's numbers serve as a reminder that Trump's unpopularity isn't prohibitive, largely because Americans -- and specifically registered voters -- don't much like Clinton either. If it weren't for Trump, in fact, Clinton would be the most unpopular major-party presidential nominee in modern American history.
Perhaps most notably, Clinton's image has declined significantly from just a month ago. After the Democratic convention, Americans were about evenly split -- 48 percent favorable and 50 percent unfavorable.
Interestingly, Clinton's numbers appear to have dropped since that early August poll mostly in groups that have been very supportive of her:
- Her favorable rating among women dropped from 54 percent to just 45 percent.
- Among Hispanics, it went from 71 percent to 55 percent.
- Among liberals, it went from 76 percent to 63 percent.
It's not clear quite what might have cause Clinton to fall further than ever before. It's likely that she simply got an extended bounce after the Democratic convention that has finally faded. It's also possible that adverse headlines last weekabout the Clinton Foundation and thousands of newly discovered emails from the private email server Clinton used as secretary of state reinforced why views of her had been worsening prior to the July conventions.

Indeed, Luke...., you thought that one through.. I´m sure Trump would like to search Monica´s behind with his cigar..
Luke,,,To amend the constitution needs a 2/3 approval in both the senate and house of representatives ... then it is sent to the states where it needs 3/4 approval. Right now in both the senate and house the republicans have a majority. It is beyond unlikely that they would all vote to amend the constitution so Obama could have a third term. You know how the repubs feel about Obama,,,he could grow wings and fly around and they would say he is too cheap to buy a car. The other thing is that there is just over 2 months before the election and not enough time to get all this done.
Thats probibly true Feather, I wont disaggree with you. So effectively Obama is finnished, unless Joe Biden (for example) runs for office, because there is a loophole in the constitution. The 22nd amendment states that no person shall be "elected" to run more than twice, but it does not state that no person shall "hold" that position for more than two terms. That would leave Obama with two distinct possibilities. If for example, he ran for "vice president" alongide Biden running for president, then inaugurated into those positions by the electoral college, if they were to both win, Biden could simply resign from his position (as president) and Obama would automatically become president and that would not violate the 22nd amendment. The second possibility is if Obama ran for position of speaker in the house of representatives, if he was elected from his district in Chicago, again, if the president AND vice president resigned or dropped out due to ill health or whatever, again, Obama would be automatically elevated to the office of president, and that would not violate the constitution. Of course, none of that is going to occur, we can look forward to Donald Trump searching for cigars in the drawers of the Oval office that Monica Lewinsky left behind.
The whole election is pointless, Obama will do a third term, mark my words.
Obama cannot serve a third term....it is in the constitution that presidents can only serve two terms..
I would suggest that instead of stating Obama "cannot" serve another term, that he "may eaisly" serve a third term, as the constitution is subject to change, they can easily amend a piece of legislation and the constitution's been changed seventeen times since its ratification. Remember, Roosevelt was elected for a forth time, only after which was there a two term limit imposed to keep in tradition with George Washingtons refusal to run for a third time, and that amendment was brought into the constitution in 1796. I'm not that gone on politics but this much I do know. Anything imaginable is possible and at the rate things are changing in the world, it wouldn't surprise me in the least.
Oh God, I hope not.
why look to these dickheads it's been said there is going to be a third person going to be president these two idots are not going to win there is another one gunna enter, i always felt if this one is to be president i would not be surprised it is the unmask person we know of as anonymous it is someone who truly represents how we as planetary beings care for each other and try to think as one in unity and harmony, this one i speak of i think will be anonymous or someone appointed by him in the back ground. The white hat in disguise.
