Outside Pennsylvania, a bad week for Hillary in the polls

As we noted a couple of days ago, you can make pretty much anything you want of the voter surveys flying thick and fast from Pennsylvania this week. But recent days have also seen a couple of polls indicating that the damage done to Clinton’s national standing continues to grow. An AP/Yahoo poll touts the “dramatic reversal” in national Democratic voters’ view of who is more electable. Obama now leads Clinton 56-43; back in January, Clinton held a 56-33 edge.

Before that, a Wednesday ABC/WashPost survey logged the lowest assessments yet recorded of public judgments about her character. Anne Kornblut and Jon Cohen write:

“Clinton is viewed as ‘honest and trustworthy’ by just 39 percent of Americans, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, compared with 52 percent in May 2006. Nearly six in 10 said in the new poll that she is not honest and trustworthy. And now, compared with Obama, Clinton has a deep trust deficit among Democrats, trailing him by 23 points as the more honest, an area on which she once led both Obama and John Edwards.”
