Hillary Clinton’s support all over the country is eroding. In 2008, when she ran against Obama, she received 2,608,184 votes in the California primary. Fast forward 8 years to 2016 and Hillary Clinton could only muster 1,841,285 in what was supposed to be a close race with Commie Bernie Sanders. People just don’t like Hillary Clinton, no matter how the media tries to divert attention to Trump.

In fact, Hillary Clinton couldn’t even duplicate what Obama received in Caifornia back in 2008, when he lost to her. Obama that year got 2,186,662 total votes.
With 94.4% of precincts reporting, Clinton won 1,841,285 votes in California on Tuesday, compared to Bernie Sanders’s 1,416,742, Politico reports.
That’s nearly a 30% drop in total support from 2008, when she received 2,608,184 votes, or 51.47%. (Barack Obama got 2,186,662 votes or 43.16%.)
The results weren’t much better in New Jersey. While Clinton won the state — as she did in 2008 — she saw a decline in support there, too.
On Tuesday, Clinton received 542,656 votes, or 63.35% of the ballots cast compared to Sanders’s 315,194 votes, according to the Politico totals.
That’s a 13% decline in support from her 2008 turnout, when she received 613,500 votes — or 53.76% of the total votes, compared to 501,374 ballots cast for Obama.
