Garin: Our Polling Shows "Gas Tax Holiday" Is Helping Hillary Politically [View All]

Is Hillary gaining politically by her support for a so-called "gas tax holiday"?

On a conference call with reporters just now, Hillary chief strategist Geoff Garin claimed that the campaign's internal polling shows that it is.

"We're seeing in our polling that working people appreciate the fact that Senator Clinton understands the incredible economic strain they are facing," Garin said.

Also, Garin sought to spin one of the main arguments against the gas tax holiday -- the fact that it saves consumers a negligible amount on average -- as a further sign that Hillary's in touch with blue-collar workers.

This is how Hillary plans to run the country and the main reason we cannot afford her as President. She revels in the misconceptions of the little guy, and she uses it for political points, when anyone who understands economics knows it is bad policy.
