More than half the public says Hillary Clinton is not trustworthy, one of several problems that could hamper her bid for the presidency, the May IBD/TIPP poll finds. The poll found that 51% of the public does not believe Hillary is trustworthy; just 43% think she is. Independents were even more skeptical, with 60% saying Hillary is not trustworthy.
The findings could point to a significant handicap in her campaign, since Hillary has been in the public eye for 23 years, making it less likely that voters' views of her integrity will shift much.
The poll also found that half the public believes that the Clinton Foundation's acceptance of foreign donations while she was Secretary of State is a "serious ethical issue" (55% of independents feel this way). Only 36% think it's not serious.
In April, 52% said Hillary was wrong to have used a personal email account to conduct official government business.
Over the weekend, Bill Clinton tried to tamp down controversy surrounding the foundation.
"I asked Hillary about this," Clinton told NBC News' Cynthia McFadden in an interview that aired on Monday's "Today" show, "and she told me 'no one's ever tried to influence me by helping you.'"
The possibility of influence peddling came to light in the book "Clinton Cash" by Peter Schweizer, which detailed large foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation that coincided with favorable policies when Hillary was secretary of state.Read the rest of the story HERE.
