Hillary Clinton's presidential primary campaign is in trouble and it could get a lot worse as her involvement in using her private email server for government business begins to seriously heat up with two Inspectors General calling for the Department of Justice to investigate Hillary's using her private email server to transmit classified government documents in violation of law.
It may be a long way off until the first presidential primary election, but Hillary could be facing serious charges. Even if the DoJ investigation is not conclusive, the continuing open sore of corruption and possible criminal conduct will dog Hillary's campaign like a Pit Bull on a bone. You know Hillary has problems when the New York Times is seriously questioning Hillary's veracity and her continuing coverup comments in regard to her private email server.
Let's look at where Sanders began his campaign and where he's at today as we contrast that with Hillary's polling over the same time frame.
PRINCETON, N.J. -- Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' favorable rating among Americans has doubled since Gallup's initial reading in March, rising to 24% from 12% as he has become better known. Hillary Clinton's rating has slipped to 43% from 48% in April. At the same time, Clinton's unfavorable rating increased to 46%, tilting her image negative and producing her worst net favorable score since December 2007.
Traditionally, Democrat primaries find prominent candidates lurching to the far left to satisfy their radical supporters and once having gotten their party's nomination, move back to the center to draw Independents into their voting fold.
The difference in this Democrat primary campaign is that Hillary is being out maneuvered on her path to the far reaches of the left by Sanders, which accounts for Sanders' gains in the polls. Will Sanders be able to out do Hillary on the far left fringe of the Democrat Party? He's already shown he has what it takes to stake out a serious claim on what was once a given for Hillary, i.e. the far left liberal loons of the Party.
Sanders has drawn crowds two, three and four times the size of Hillary's. Hillary is still suffering a major enthusiasm gap since coming out of her self imposed exile from the public and the press, while Sanders continues to enjoy a growing favorability rating and Hillary's favorability continues to drop.
Hillary's next big campaign challenge will occur when she faces a House Committee Hearing on her email server. Hillary's allies in Congress are facing a major challenge to keep party members on board Hillary's campaign wagon. A lot is at stake for Hillary coming out of these House Committee hearings. Hillary will either get a boost from these hearings, if she can manage to navigate through the grilling interrogations, or she will suffer irreparably going forward. Only time will tell which direction Hillary's campaign will take.
