It looks as if the Hillary Clinton e-mail “scandal” has about as much traction as New Coke:

The fight over her use of a private email account while secretary of State may have dominated political news, but it does not appear to have significantly damaged Hillary Rodham Clinton’s standing with the public, two new polls have found.

A new CNN/ORC poll, conducted after the news conference Clinton held last week where she answered some questions about her email use, found that 57% of Americans said she was someone they would be “proud” to have as president, compared with 42% who disagreed.

A slim majority, 51% to 47%, say that Clinton “did do something wrong” by using a personal email account for official business as head of the State Department. But by 52% to 46%, those polled said the “way Clinton handled her email while serving as secretary of State is not relevant to her character or her ability to serve as president.”

Nice FAIL you’ve got there, Mighty Media-Conservative-Axis Wurlitzer!

    I hope we can hang on to this scandal for a while. It’s fun to watch.

      Gowdy is such a transparently inept tool.

          He is a 40-something guy trying to look like a 20-something guy.

    She is still at the 50% approval rate…..has to drive the gopee wild that no matter how much mud they sling nor how often…nothing sticks and they look worse…..”Going to open another investigation” would cause you to quake…Now??? Oh no …here we go again…

    I do so love to watch all these non-scandals dished out by the GOP blow up in their faces.

    It’s funny howe non-issues become so huge. If Hillary’s father were a Cuban immigrant and she once had Canadian citizenship, THAT would be the biggest scandal going against her right now…not a private email account.

    Wait until they find out where Hillary was on the night of 9/10/01!
    And she wasn’t using her e-mail either, if ya know what I mean.
