Hillary Clinton’s problem is honesty. The GOP’s is empathy.

Two new polls on Tuesday show Hillary Clinton's favorable rating hitting a low not seen in years. CNN/ORC has it at its lowest since 2003 (46 percent), wile the new Washington Post-ABC News poll has it at its lowest since 2008 (45 percent).

A big reason? Honesty. The Post-ABC poll shows just 41 percent think she is honest and trustworthy -- a number that has continued to fall amid her e-mail controversy and other issues. It was at 46 percent in late March. A majority of Americans (52 percent) now say she is not honest.

So why does she still lead all comers in basically every poll of the 2016 general election? Well, a lot of it has to do with empathy -- or the GOP's lack thereof.

While people generally don't see Clinton as honest, they think she's better when it comes to understanding the problems of people like them -- 49-46 percent. That's not as good for her as it once was, but it's still above water.

It's also far better than the GOP's nominal frontrunner, Jeb Bush.
