In an interview with Hillary Clinton’s communications director Jen Palmieri on Tuesday, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell fretted over the Democratic front-runner’s recent dive in the polls: “The numbers are grim for Secretary Clinton, whose overall unfavorable rating of 48% is worse than any unfavorable rating we've recorded for Barack Obama during his presidency....What do you think is the cause of these poll numbers?”
After Palmieri dismissed Clinton’s unfavorability as “the wrong question,” Mitchell offered another possible reason for the political damage: “And one of the things that we’ve pointed out is that these unfavorable poll numbers came immediately after an inaccurate report...which led to a lot of other inaccurate reporting before it was corrected....Do you feel that there is a problem, that she's being treated unfairly?”
