By most accounts, Hillary Clinton bested Donald Trump in three debates. She leads in many preference polls of battleground states across the country.

And barring a significant shift in the next two weeks, she is in a strong position to become the first woman elected president.

But Clinton will probably end the campaign still struggling to change the minds of millions of Americans who don't think well of her.

While many Americans see her as better prepared to be commander in chief than Trump, she's consistently viewed unfavorably by more than half of potential voters. Most also consider her dishonest.

Clinton's advisers spent months trying to overhaul that perception. But as Clinton starts making her closing argument to voters, her advisers appear to have come to terms with that unfulfilled mission.
