So Liberals Think People Don't Care About Hillary's Email Scandal

Hillary Clinton's Lead Over Trump Shrinks After Controversial Week: Poll

Hillary Clinton's lead over Donald Trump narrowed to 3 points this week after several days of controversy following FBI Director James Comey's recommendation that no criminal charges be brought against the former secretary of state over her use of a private email server.

While the developments are certainly good news for the Clinton campaign, Comey's critical statement on Clinton's handling of the matter was not positive. Clinton's lead over Trump has deteriorated in the past couple weeks since her lead peaked two weeks ago.

A strong majority of voters (82 percent) agreed that it was inappropriate for Clinton to use a personal email server during her tenure as secretary of state. A smaller majority — 56 percent — also said they disagreed with Comey's recommendation that Clinton not be prosecuted for use of the server.

These results are according to the latest from the NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll conducted online from July 4 through July 10, 2016. Survey questions pertaining to Clinton's email controversy were added following Comey's announcement.
Apparently people are paying attention to the email scandal and they don't like what they see in Hillary Clinton.

Three points are within the margin of error so for all practical purposes the race is now a dead heat.

On top of it, Donald Trump has had a remarkably good week keeping to a discipline law and order message in his speeches and remarks.  As opposed to Clinton who honored criminals as victims this week, Trump positioned himself as the law and order candidate and explain why it's necessary for us to support the police as they "protect the poorest and most vulnerable among us."

He was the one public figure who was a uniter instead of a divider this week.

Both Clinton and Obama badly missed the mark in their responses to the Dallas shootings. Trump did not.

Trump is certainly capable of throwing away short-term advantages through intemperate comments, but Clinton's response to Dallas was weak and Obama's politicization of the memorial service will hurt her.
