I have received 180 likes and 12 dislikes. I would expect Ms. Clinton to get more than 10% of the votes, but does the fact that 90% of respondents seem to be united in opposition to her signify her chances of winning the White House are very low
But one "survey" of 200 people who think similarly to you does not indicate anything about the overall attitude of the country. The country's overall population is almost certainly more heterogenous than any one person's network of friends (yours included), so i'd venture a guess that you are simple seeing the result of a very strong selection bias, not the conclusion you reached
Aside from that, as mentioned by a prior poster, you need to drop the benghazi thing for now. If gowdy pulls up something, it can be discusses then. But at this time, trying to link hillary to benghazi, from a liberal's prospective, is a complete non starter. They see that and are going to assume your one of those crazy right wing extremist and just ignore whatever it is you say (which could also be another reason for the low liberal response).

Benghazi has been investigated numerous times and Congress has produced rheems of paper reports. It has been overinvestigated. At this point, it is merely a partisan witch hunt to call for yet more investigations. But the ignorant Far Right continues to blather about it. Blather on.

this was not a Facebook lovefest. These were about 6-8 posts on articles on Yahoo regarding Ms. Clinton.
The issue is not Benghazi per se, it is just one that the media did not press her on. Regardless of its merits, had this been Condeleeza Rice ther would have been wall to wall coverage by all media.
I assume these are all random posters on Yahoo.
