All respect and no restraint

Still feeling Black, Bill?

Along with the increased doubts about Bill Clinton, the former president also is viewed negatively by slightly more voters than the number that have positive feelings, by 45% to 42%. That is the first time in six years that Clinton’s “negatives” have exceeded his “positives” in the poll. 

Bill Clinton Gives More Voters Doubts About Electing His Wife

A plurality of 44% of registered voters say the fact that Hillary Clinton is married to the former president gives them reservations or makes them “very uncomfortable” about electing her, according to the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. That is up by double digits from 33% who expressed reservations or discomfiture in a Journal/NBC poll last November, just as the 2008 nominating races were about to get underway.
