I don’t really know how you get a poll result this low. Even when you’re using Gallup to conduct a poll of unmentionables – say, the approval ratings for things like zombies, pond scum and members of Congress – you get at least a 5 – 10% favorability from any given group of registered American voters.
But regardless of general expectations of the American public, according to a Fox News poll of registered voters, only 2% – two percent – of Americans believe that Hillary Clinton was telling the truth when she said that no emails containing classified information ever passed through the hallowed walls of her ClintonMail server in her Chappaqua basement. The poll sample, which leanded somewhat Democratic by a few points, demonstrates pretty confidently that when we say “literally no one actually believes Hillary Clinton,” we’re not even being metaphorical.

The poll goes on to show that 54% of respondents believe that Hillary Clinton put national security at stake when she demanded to use a private server for her State Department emails. And the crosstabs that go along with the question tell an interesting story all their own:

Hillary seems to be sowing distrust among people under 35 – a key demographic that hasn’t settled on either party just yet. Among respondents, 63% of those under the age of 35 believe she knowingly lied about her email server; the number of respondents who indicated they thought she’d “failed to be completley honest” actually decreases as the age groups increase. Among those who believe Clinton told the truth, nothing but the truth, so help her God? Not even one percent from “under 35” respondents. That’s actually less overall than from respondents considering themselves “Tea Party.”
Weird. Maybe it has something to do with Hillary Clinton paying all her college-aged employees in coffee.
