This is nothing new to most of us and even Hillary supporters will admit it: Hillary's continuing (and growing?) problem is not many people like her. Not as bad as Cruz, but the words "Hillary" and "like" are rarely used in the same sentence. "Hillary" and "dynamic" have never been used in the same sentence without quotation marks.
What is new? Even Hillary supporters are admitting that Hillary doesn't appeal to people and that, in terms of the general election, her personality and character or lack thereof may cost her and the Democrats the Presidential election. People don't like her.
As Trump transitions to GOP Presidential candidate mode and publicly attempts to shuffle closer toward a semblance of sanity (good luck with that) the Press (and I use the term very loosely) has less raw meat to feed the voting crowd. Less attention on Trump.
The Press has refused to report or focus on Sanders from day one. The spotlight must then turn to Hillary, the one person in the race who wants to be known but not scrutinized. Scratch the surface and you have Bill Clinton's wife, who wouldn't even be considered in the race otherwise. Reports of Hillary's Machiavellian "teamwork" and spleen ripping nastiness are often mentioned in comparison to Richard Nixon. No one liked him either.
Daily people are exposed more to Hillary Clinton. Daily people hear more from Clinton. Daily people are already sick of her. Maybe people are getting sick of hearing her say, "I've got a plan." Maybe people are discovering that once you get passed her god awful public presence she really hasn't done anything for U.S.
Depending on who you read, Hillary is barely ahead of Trump or barely behind him. Things aren't getting better for Hillary - everyone must admit that.
Millennials cannot relate to her, they don't trust her. Hillary needs Millennials now and after the election. Millennials - of all colors and persuasions - are soon to be the demographic politicians will need to win elections. So far the GOP, Donald Trump, Teapartisans, the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton kinda, sorta, know that but they don't get it.
Soon look for Hillary pandering to Millennials like she pandered to African-Americans (who are beginning to leave her as well). They know a chameleon when they see one.

Hillary Clinton’s declining personal image, ongoing battle to break free of the challenge from Sen. Bernie Sanders and struggle to adapt to an anti-establishment mood among voters this year have become caution signs for her campaign and the focus of new efforts to fortify her position as she prepares for a bruising general election.
More than a dozen Clinton allies identified weaknesses in her candidacy that may erode her prospects to defeat Donald Trump,
including poor showings with young women, untrustworthiness, unlikability and a lackluster style on the stump. Supporters also worry that she is a conventional candidate in an unconventional election in which voters clearly favor renegades.
