From the Tuesday Morning Jolt:

50 Percent of Americans Say Hillary Is ‘Honest and Trustworthy.’
This . . . is CNN:
Unfavorable views of Hillary Clinton are on the rise and perceptions of her as “honest and trustworthy” have dropped following the revelation that while serving as secretary of state she used a personal email address and home-based server to conduct State Department business.
But questions about Clinton’s email practices may not harm her chances if she makes a run for the White House in 2016, as a new CNN/ORC poll finds 57% of Americans say she’s someone they’d be proud to have as their president.
Overall, 51% in the poll call Clinton’s use of a personal email system rather than a government provided one a very or somewhat serious problem, 48% say it’s not too serious an issue or no problem at all. And the public is similarly split over whether Clinton did something wrong by using the personal system; 51% say she did, 47% that she did not.
Here’s how they asked the question:
As you may have heard, Hillary Clinton used a personal email address and home-based server to send and receive emails while she served as Secretary of State rather than using the government’s email system. Based on what you have heard or read, how serious a problem is it that Clinton used a private email system while Secretary of State: Is it a very serious problem, somewhat serious, not too serious or not a serious problem at all?
That wording is fair enough, but I wonder how much the numbers would shift if the question mentioned anything about the system’s vulnerability to hackers and foreign spies.
A later question asks respondents, which statement do you agree with?
“The way Clinton handled her email while serving as Secretary of State is an important indicator of her character and ability to serve as president.” 46 percent.
“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.” 52 percent.
I’m sure the pollsters would contend mentioning “cyber security” or “vulnerability of revealing classified or sensitive information” would nudge the respondent to react more negatively to Clinton in their responses. The pollsters also didn’t mention FOIA requests, State Department archiving regulations, requests from the Benghazi investigators, and so on.
Without any context, a lot of respondents — particularly those who pay the least attention to the news — aren’t going to understand why her e-mail system use would reflect upon her character. You might as well ask whether they think she should have used Gmail or Yahoo Mail.
These numbers may look depressing, but here’s another way of looking at it: These are Hillary’s numbers at the public’s current level of disengagement and unfamiliarity with why her e-mail system matters. (It might have been revealing to ask respondents, “Do you know why this matters?”)
Then again, the Hillary team has to feel cheered by most of this numbers. Their spin has been, “This doesn’t matter, this is nothing, she did everything in accordance to the law, her server was always completely safe, and this is just more right-wingers going after Hillary.”
Note that it’s a poll of adults, not registered voters, and not likely voters. Also note in this poll that 2 percent of respondents said they had “never heard of” Bill Clinton.
