How to handle polls that say Americans don't trust your candidate? Easy peasy!
While Clinton remains strikingly dominant in the Democratic field, the poll shows that her numbers have dropped significantly across several key indicators since she launched her campaign in April.
A growing number of people say she is not honest and trustworthy (57%, up from 49% in March), less than half feel she cares about people like them (47%, down from 53% last July) and more now feel she does not inspire confidence (50%, up from 42% last March).

DICKERSON: Here's the question that -- when I talk to Democratic strategist, people even are anxious for her to be president. They say she can list a lot of things. The biggest problem for her is trust. The voters in the polls have shown this. Voters do not trust her. How does she overcome that?
MOOK: Well, first of all, there -- no poll shows that voters don't trust Hillary Clinton.
DICKERSON: They don't find her honest and trustworthy.
MOOK: Well, no poll says that.

(45,251 posts)6. Was his head buried in the sand, or did he simply lie his head off?
Surely, as campaign manager, he knew about polls finding her untrustworthy.

It was inevitable.
