The Hot File

Now that the political landscape is smoothing out for Hillary, will the tables turn on her?  She’s up 49 to 45 in the latest Gallup poll, breaking the margin of error for the first time in months.  Her favorability rating is up, her negatives are down.  Conversely, Obama’s negatives are up, positive are down, *and* more people say he does not share their values compared to those polled last month.  So, if the main argument against Obama right now is “Why can’t he close?” , will the same question be posed to Clinton?  If she doesn’t take North Carolina and Indiana now that the political winds are at her back, will people start wondering why SHE can’t close?
