Ed Henry: Hillary’s Lena Dunham Interview Aims To Fire Up as Many Female Voters as Possible

‘Clinton answered ‘yes’ to Dunham’s question about whether she considers herself a feminist’

BAIER: "We told you last night, Hillary Clinton's support continues to slip in the latest Fox News poll. Tonight a look at what else those numbers tell us about how the Democratic front-runners is perceived. Chief White House correspondent Ed Henry has the story."

HENRY: "A new Fox poll shows 58 percent of registered voters believe Hillary Clinton is lying about her e-mail situation. 31 percent of Democrats say they believe she's lying, which helps explain why primary voters are giving close looks to Democratic Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders and Vice President Joe Biden. What the Fox Poll also found an astounding 64 percent of independent voters who often end up deciding general elections believe she's lying. though her allies continue to insist voters do not care about the e-mail controversy."
BURTON: "They're looking at who's talking about the issues that matter to them and their lives"
HENRY: "Politico reported that in 2012 an e-mail from consulting firm to [indecipherable] holding, which later hired Clinton aide Huma Abedin, asked her to get an Obama administration appointment for a firm client and donor to the Clinton foundation. Republican Senator Charles Grassley has criticized Abedin's overlapping roles, though there's no evidence she helped get the appointment. Clinton campaign spokesman Nick Merrill declaring his 'Yet another attempt to smear a hardworking public servant in the press through ill-informed partisan leaks.' Clinton is wrapping up her media push back with two more NBC interviews. Meet the Press this Sunday, and the Today show in a town hall next month. Plus, an unconventional interview with Lena Dunham, star of HBO sometimes racy show 'Girls', were the candidate talked about initially rejecting her husband." 
CLINTON: "I actually turned him down twice when he asked me to marry him. He said, I'm not asking you again until you're ready to say yes."

HENRY: "A new Quinnipiac poll shows Clinton's unfavorability among white men has now reached 72 percent. So that interview is clearly a part of an effort to fire up as many female voters as possible."
