13089094, What this analysis fails to consider is the unknown
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Tue Nov-01-16 12:35 PM
All candidates before they are on the national stage have low unfavorability ratings. Doesn't mean they are well liked, it's means that they are unknown.

Track the unfavorability ratings of John McCain, Mitt Romney; John Kerry or any other presidential nominee at the start of the year they ran for president and track it until election time.

As they are chosen as their party nominee and we get into the mud slinging and scrutiny of the election their favorability drops.

What makes Hillary unique is that she is a candidate who has been on the national stage for 20 years so she starts out where most other candidates end up in terms of favoravibilty.

Took look at Bernies Sanders favorability in the primaries is just meaningless. He was a complete unknown on the national stage.
