Yes. Someone *being* "down in the polls" is common parlance. But Obama said "when she *feels* down" and *you're* suggesting there follows a silent "in the polls" in that statement.
I have never read or heard someone say: "X *feels* down in the polls." (It sounds like a vererinary term). Is "*feeling* down in the polls" common parlance? And xould you please provide other examples of that rather odd-sounding phrase?
My point is that I doubt Obama meant to imply HRC "felt down in the polls". From the youtube clip I watched, I think he meant "feels down in the dumps".
