In the last three major polls, the candidate had unfavorable rates in the same ranks as Trump. In the survey of Washington Post / ABC News, both have a 57 percent disapproval.
In The New York Times / CBC News, 60 percent of respondents said that Clinton does not share their values and 64 percent said it is not honest or trustworthy. She has reached the same level of Trump and has plummeted so much that, statistically, they are now tied in some of the presidential polls.
The funny thing is that not long ago was popular. As Secretary of State had an approval rating of 66 percent. Even in March 2015, his approval rating was 50 percent and his disapproval rating of 39.
It was not until he launched a multimillion dollar campaign to impress Americans became so markedly unpopular.
It is also a woman who has dedicated himself to public service. He went from being an advocate for children senator and has followed his vocation tirelessly. His unpopularity is not explained with the "what" but "how" it has.
But what is exactly what many people have against him?
I begin my explanation with this question: Can you tell me what does Hillary Clinton do for fun? We know what makes Obama for fun ... playing golf, basketball, etc. We also know, unfortunately, how Trump fun.
But when people talk about Clinton, you tend to speak only in professional terms. For example, the November 16, 2015, Peter D. Hart led a group of sampling on the candidate. Almost every evaluation had to do with job performance. She was described as someone with "tendencies to multitask" or "organized" or "misleading".
From the outside, it seems she only devoted to his career. Her husband is his political colleague. His daughter works at the Clinton Foundation. It seems that friendships formed working meetings for highly successful people.
Those who work with her love and say it is warm and affectionate. But from the outside it is difficult to think of an aspect of his life that is alien to your career or prior to it. With the exception of some references to her role as grandmother when Clinton presented it is as if reciting your resume or report political strategies.
For example, recently she launched a biographical video called "Fighter". It is filled with old, charming and curious photographs in their struggle for different reasons shown. But when the video reaches a current interview with Clinton, the lighting is perfect, the scene is perfect, her outfit is perfect. He looks less like a human and be like the avatar of a corporate brand.
Clinton's unpopularity unpopularity reminiscent of a workaholic. Workaholism is a form of emotional detachment. These addicts are so immersed in their professional activities that feelings do not affect their most fundamental decisions. The professional role personality dominates and invades normal intimacy of the soul. As once said Martyn Lloyd-Jones, whole cemeteries could be filled with the sad epitaph: "Born to be a human being, he died a doctor".
As regards its public image, Clinton follows an exclusively professional vibrates: Diligent, calculated, focused on goals and distrustful. From the outside it is difficult to have a perception of her as a person; It has become a role.
This formal and focused on her career image puts it in direct contrast to the customs of the era of social networks, which is intimate, personalistic, revealing, reliable and vulnerable. It puts it in conflict with the experience that most people have lived. Most Americans feel more alive and impetuous when they are out of work experience. So, of course, many think that Clinton is Machiavellian, cunning, power-oriented and unreliable.
There is one more important lesson in this case, especially for people who have found a career and a vocation that feel rewarding: even a socially positive vocation can take over and make you lose your sense of your own voice. Perhaps it is even more essential that people with rewarding vocations develops, and you observe developing, shrines outside their professional life: some kind of sport, one or two hobbies, family time, moments of solitude, faith or some activity fun .
Abraham Joshua Heschel wrote that the Sabbath is "a palace in time we build." It is not a day of rest before work; one works to live that day lifting. Josef Pieper wrote that leisure is not an activity but a mental attitude. It is out of strenuous effort and create enough quiet to contemplate and enjoy things as they are.
Even the lives of successful people need these shrines ... to be a real person instead of just being someone productive. Apparently, not really confident candidates who do not show their sanctuaries.
