With the election being less than a week away, I am still not sure Clinton has accomplished getting the middle class over to her side. She needs to be seen as someone the voters can trust and can depend on and with the recent re-opening of her email case, her trustworthiness has come into question. Now, it may not be just the middle class votes she needs to be worrying about. I believe this definitely destroys her ethos as it takes away her credibility to truly be a fit, presidential candidate. She has definitely given Americans several reasons to question her credibility and trustworthiness. Is it possible to trust someone who is under investigation to honestly care for the middle class, or America in general?
According to recent polls, she no longer has the lead on Trump that she previously had. Clinton’s “once commanding national lead has collapsed to less than two points”. The way “Americans’ view her just hit a record low” as well with her un- favorability rating being 55.1 %.The foundation of her campaign and what she says she stands for, seems to be crumbling. With her foundation crumbling, the middle class as well as other voters are considering whether voting for her is the best choice and if she is fit to be the President of the United States. The middle class votes might be just what Clinton needs to tip the scale in her favor and become the President. We will find out next Tuesday whether she has accomplished her goals and won over the middle class.
I agree with your assessment that the impact of the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails will have on middle-class voters. Her past seems to always stand in the way of her maintaining a lead on Trump and connecting with crucial swing voters. I believe the only way to secure the middle-class vote is not so much trying to get their support but rather, persuade them to consider a Donald Trump presidency as formidable and out-of-the-question.
