Funny thing about trajectories
They're rarely linear.
Anything in popular culture can exist under the radar for years, then suddenly explode. Especially in the internet age. Things can go viral in the blink of an eye. It's perhaps more likely for public awareness and acceptance to grow exponentially than linearly.
A huge amount of HRC's support is -because- she appears to have a lot of support. But what happens if that support is shown to start slipping?
Those who jumped on her bandwagon -because- it's a big bandwagon (the "she can win" mentality) can just as easily jump right off it if they see it to be shrinking. The difference in support could change 20 points, literally in a matter of days.
Of course it's the media's job to run interference, to make sure this doesn't happen...
