Hillary Clinton’s Mandate Problem

According to most projections, Hillary Clinton is on track for an electoral-college landslide in the coming election, and Democrats have a good chance of gaining control of the Senate and expanding their ranks in the House. But it’s not entirely clear that Americans will be voting for Clinton. During the past year, she’s had lower favorability ratings than any major-party nominee in history, with one important exception: her opponent, Donald Trump. Regardless of the margin of victory, Clinton will have a mandate problem.
