poll we released last night: Almost everyone is in lousy shape. Hillary
Clinton's fav/unfav numbers dropped
from 44%-40% (+4) in June to 37%-48% (-11) now -- which gives her a

(-13), Ted Cruz (-12), Rand Paul (-10), Mike Huckabee (-8), Scott Walker
(-1), and Marco Rubio (+1). Even President Obama, who has enjoyed a
renaissance in his poll numbers as of late, has seen his overall
job-approval rating tick down three points to 45%. So the American
