Hillary Clinton may poll better with women than Donald Trump, but many young female voters still feel she is “old news,” according to BBC America’s Katty Kay.
People want someone, “who is trustworthy and you can rely on. Neither candidate is giving you that, neither Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton,” she said Tuesday on MSNBC.
“I spent much of June talking to young women voters who don’t particularly like Hillary Clinton. And another thing that they said to me is that, ‘Look, we feel that a woman president would be new, but Hillary Clinton for us feels old,'” Kay said.
“Not just that [Clinton] feels old in terms of age, she feels like old news,” she added. “There’s nothing fresh about her.”
A recent Monmouth University poll showed Clinton leads Trump among women 57 to 30 percent.
A separate survey by the Pew Research Center found Clinton not only led among women by a whopping 24 points, but that her support came both from self-professed Democrats and women who said they usually vote Republican.
Even though Clinton dominates Trump with women voters, she still has some polling problems.
Clinton is currently wrestling a 40-55 percent favorable-unfavorable rating, according to a RealClearPolitics polling average, and other recent polling found 56 percent of voters disapprove of how the Federal Bureau of Investigation handled its investigation of her use of a private, unauthorized email server when she worked at the State Department.
