Forty-four percent of voters think former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is “less ethical” than most other politicians, according to a new poll — the highest percentage of any 2016 presidential candidate or potential candidate the Fox News poll asked about.

Twenty-nine percent said Mrs. Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential frontrunner, was more ethical than most and 24 percent said about the same.

Not surprised to see this, there is good reason to see Hillary as unethical. Still, it wont stop leftists from voting for her-apparently ethics aren't high on her supporters list of priorities.

Lemme see here - it was a Fox News poll...so is there any surprise whatsoever that this is what Fox News should find?

The Pew poll shows that Fox News is the most trusted news source...but of course it would be since it's unthinkable for most of America's conservatives to watch news from any source that's not obviously a right-wing shill. And so they never get the other side of the story: "Listen to us, we at Fox News tell you all you'll ever need to know...but don't you ever listen to the other guys - they're all liberal shills and they just lie to you!"
 
Who cares about ethics in a Godless country. I think she will do fine.:lamo
 
the only thing i'm surprised by is that 29% who think she is more ethical....that's an absurdly high number.

Are you suggesting that Hillary actually is ethical?

So what your poll means is over half of people think she is at least as ethical as other politicians. Oh wait, that is probably not how you want to try and spin this....

She is a politician...but as far as politicians go, she's not bad when it comes to ethics. The only really questionable moment I remember was about being under sniper fire when she obviously wasn't.

I know, I know, as soon as you saw the last phrase of the first sentence, you already began wanting to spew out a whole passel of crap like Benghazi, manufactured from whole cloth. Problem is, I've been watching the conservatives unfairly attack the Clintons from day one of Bill's first term often using made-up accusations...and when I saw what they were doing - outright disrespect to and baseless accusations against the commander-in-chief to a degree that I'd never seen before at the time - I couldn't be a part of that. At the time, I had finally been able to unlearn the racism I'd been taught since my youth...but what really got me was that the type of attitude of my fellow conservatives towards anyone Democratic was really no different at all than the attitude of the racists I knew towards the blacks. NO DIFFERENT AT ALL. It was a matter of "whatever bad thing you say about the Dems/liberals, it MUST be true...and not much good can be said about them at all!"

It was the same prejudice - but instead of white against black, it was conservative against liberal...and I could have no further part in it.

THAT, sir, is why I prefer Hillary - yeah, she's not perfect by a long shot...but she's better - and more ethical - than almost anyone who's running on the Republican side.
 
You're arguing that the most well known candidate in the race who Fox has been attacking for decades is the most disliked by the half of the population who vote republican?

How could this possibly be?

You know, I was mostly with you until that last comment. If the Clintons have a weakness, it is the perception that they are ethically challenged. And no, I don't think that is true of most politicians nor most democrats. I disagree with Obama vigorously but I don't think he is unethical. Same with Sanders or Biden or Warren. I think Harry Reid is about as unethical as they come, probably even worse than Hillary. But I would be curious as to which of the republican candidates you view as unethical, because I don't see it.
 
She is just the most inept at covering her corruption up. ;)

that was pretty good.
utterly bereft of fact or truth, but pretty good nonetheless.

you've simply hitched your wagon to a thoroughly unethical candidate.. end of story.

Harry is worse than Hillary or Bill...and nearly every other living Democrat on the planet is better than either of the Clintons.
I don't find Obama unethical either...warren lies too much to be considered ethical.... but Biden and Sanders seem to be just fine... Jim Webb too.

Your poll did not ask that question. Didn't you read it? Since apparently you did not, and since I am so helpful, here it is: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/int...e-ethical-than-most-clintons-favorable-slips/

What do you make of the polls first question, where Bill Clinton, Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama all have a higher favorability than any of the republicans?

LOL you nailed him, I haven't seen his retort yet.

The thread title said "Hillary seen as least ethical of all Presidential candidates" which is an accurate statement. If you want to get technical, the question was whether she was more or less ethical than "most other politicians" which in my opinion is worse than the way it was stated in the title. Americans see people in politics and used car salesmen as the least ethical people, so what that poll is actually saying is, they find Hillary the least ethical, of the least ethical... aka, the worse of the worse.

Well first off, last time I checked Bill Clinton was not running for office, so who gives a rats ass about how he's seen.

As for Obama and Hillary, what do you think of the fact that are viewed more unfavorably than any of the republicans?

While you ponder that, here are a few stats from the poll I found interesting:

What the people who were polled described themselves as:
41% Democrat
37% Republican
20% Independent/other

The favorable/unfavorable difference with independent voters is the worse with the 2 establishment candidates:
-20 Hillary Clinton
-18 Jeb Bush

Other than Ben Carson (who I don't consider a serious candidate) the presidential candidate with hands down the best favorable/unfavorable difference with independent voters is:
+17 Marco Rubio

The only 4 candidates that are seen by more people as more ethical than the average politician than they are less ethical:
+18 Mike Huckabee
+13 Rand Paul
+07 Marco Rubio
+04 Scott Walker

How likely do you think it is that Hillary Clinton was influenced by foreign contributors to her family’s foundation while she served as secretary of state?
57% Likely (29% very likely)
37% not likely (19% not at all)

That tells me 2 things... That there are a lot of liberals still in denial and that 1 in 5 Americans (19%) have dangerous mental health problems and are in need of some serious psychiatric help.

And finally.... Who most democratic voters want to see as the nominee for 2016:
63% Hillary Clinton

That tells me that nearly 2/3 of democratic voters have lost all sense of morality, and willingly embrace corruption and lies as long as it serves their agenda.

Poll questions 34-41 from your own link.

34.-41. I’m going to read you a list of names. For each one, please tell me whether you think that person is more ethical than most other politicians, less ethical than most other politicians or about the same.

I've come to a similar conclusion. How telling is it that dems will admit she's untrustworthy, unethical, etc and yet still vote for her?

It really begs the question-what do these people think they are going to get? It can't all be freebies to the gruberites.

And the spin begins. The poll did not ask people to rank how ethical the people where, only whether they where worse than most politicians. It is important to actually discuss what the poll results actually are, not what you want them to say. I realize that spin is your reason for being, but some of us prefer honesty.

Correct, which is not what you claimed, which is that she was considered the least ethical. Nothing about the poll suggests that. In fact, over half the respondents ranked her as more ethical or about the same. Do learn how to read English.

Except that most people do not view her as any more unethical than most, as per your own poll. Why do you have to post such dishonest **** to try and desperately make a point. Try an honest argument for once...
