ABC and NPR’s Cokie Roberts on Sunday blamed “implicit bias” and the fact that Hillary Clinton is a “woman” for the reason she’s not doing well in the leadership category in polls.

While discussing potential vice presidential picks for Clinton on ABC’s “This Week,” Roberts said, “I think Elizabeth Warren is the real problem. Not only does [Clinton] not need her in terms of the Democrats, Hillary Clinton in our last ABC poll had 88 percent of the Democratic vote. Barack Obama got 89 percent of the Democratic vote when he won in 2008. It’s fine.” (RELATED: Mother Of Benghazi Victim Slams Hillary: ‘All She Has Done Is Lied’ [VIDEO])

According to Roberts, “Having two women on the ticket is a real issue and we have looked at implicit bias, and you look at the polling where you see that Hillary Clinton is losing on leadership. That’s all about being a woman.” (RELATED: Washington Post Reporter: Hillary Has ‘Large Scale’ Trust Problems [VIDEO])

The Washington Free Beacon notes that in the latest Quinnipiac University poll, Trump beats Clinton 49 to 43 percent on who would be the stronger leader.

In the same Quinnipiac University poll, voters think Trump is more honest and trustworthy by 45-37 percent. (RELATED: Benghazi Victim’s Widow: Hillary ‘Has No Right’ To Tell Me To ‘Move On’ [VIDEO])

And according to a recent CNN/ORC poll, 57 percent of respondents don’t think Clinton is honest and trustworthy.
