but if you break it down among independents, ben carson is actually beating her by double-digits, 37-43%. that struggle with independent voters, we talked about the great october that hillary clinton had. it s certainly true with democratic voters. she s expanded her lead there, but still some work to do with independents. and i think what we have to look for here is she has a trust gap. this has been something that has come up repeatedly in numerous polls. hillary clinton had to do more than just convincing democrats to come out in the polls for her. she has to convince these independents, people on the fence, that she is worth coming out for on election day. and she has to convince them if they are going to stay home, not to vote for one of the republicans when they get off the couch to vote. steve, the resurgence of hillary clinton has mostly been with democrats. she still does have big problems with independents. and if you look at this poll, it
do that? the trust gap. liar and crooked and so forth. that s the reason hillary clinton did the first interview in two months to try to calm that. that is crippling her campaign. she s taking a softer tonight. and not just dismissing and retreat to narrow legalistic defenses and being more sympathetic that they are questions. is she sorry? are you sorry and do you want to apologize to the american people? it was not the best choice. i have said that and will continue to say that and it was allowed and it was fully above board and the people in the government knew i used a personal account. it would be better to have two separate accounts to begin with

endorsement hasn t been full-throated. a month or two months is a lifetime in politics. look at what she s facing right now. an fbi investigation, tremendous trust gap in her poll numbers. a gap in really the number of people who think that she cares about people like them. remember, president obama won largely because he was really great in that category you know in sort of identifying with voters on a personal level. she s not so great at that. guess who s better at that than her? joe biden. few people are better at that than anybody than joe biden. the corpse is not exactly cold yet. she s still 30 points ahead in most of the polls. oh, my gosh. she was 30 points up in the polls against barack obama in october. we re only in august. in october last time around she was 30 points up and still lost. it is an open field if he wants to get in there. we talked about the post and
