Hillary's Clouded Prospects: 47K., B43
Quinnipiac University's latest national poll. Besides the usual questions about preferences for the 2016 candidates, v****g intentions, and so forth, the pollsters also asked their sample of 1,563 respondents, "What is the first word that comes to mind when you think of Hillary Clinton?"
first word on the lips of 178 respondents (or more than 11 percent of those polled)—
is "liar," Following closely behind is
"dishonest" (from 123 people),
"untrustworthy" (93),
"experience (47),
"smart" (31),
"crook" 21)),
"unt***hful" (19),
"criminal" (18),
"deceitful" (18),
and quite a few more, not very many of them complimentary.
The same word-association question was asked about Donald Trump and Jeb Bush. The words respondents blurred' out for Jeb are mostly anodyne, though not unrevealing:
Bush"
(136), "family"
(70), "honest"
(53), "weak"
(45), "brother"
(41), "dynasty"

(40), and so on. The Trump results, as you might imagine, are almost as entertaining as Hillary's.

"arrogant" (58),
"blowhard" (38),
"i***t" (35),
