The latest investigation into the Benghazi attack reminds us that the issue isnt going away any time soon. Pundits are already speculating about potential damage to Hillary Clintons presidential prospects, but dont believe the hype: Scandals rarely matter much in presidential election campaigns.
A far more significant threat to her potential candidacy is Americans desire for new leadership after eight years of the Obama administration. A Pew Research Center/USA Today poll found this week that 65 percent of Americans would like to see a president who offers different policies and programs. Only 30 percent said they wanted ones similar to those of the Obama administration.
Some of those disaffected citizens are presumably Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents who will ultimately support the partys nominee in 2016, but the problem that the poll highlights is real. Alan Abramowitz, an Emory University political scientist, calls this the time for change effect.

When a party has held the White House for two or more terms, he said, voters will be more likely to feel that it is time to give the opposing party an opportunity to govern. Consider, for instance, the 1992 Clinton campaign mantra change vs. more of the same that was featured in the documentary The War Room.
As Abramowitz has shown, the incumbent party has typically fared worse in time for change elections like 2016 during the post-World War II era. When the incumbent party has held the White House for two or more terms, it has won only two of nine elections since 1948. When the incumbent party has held the presidency for only one term, it has won seven of eight.
Moreover, historical data suggests that the publics attitude today is similar to the run-up to a previous time for change election that didnt go well for the incumbent party. As the chart indicates, the percentage of Americans who currently favor different policies and programs is closer to levels from the 2005-2006 period under George W. Bush, another relatively unpopular second-term president presiding over a weak economic recovery, than from 1999-2000, when Bill Clinton was president and the economy was much stronger.
