It seems like a lifetime ago that former Secretary of State Hillary Clintons favorability ratings were something that would inspire fits of jealousy in any politician. In fact, Clintons monumental popularity was not a feature of the distant past. As recently as January, a Gallup poll showed that the former secretary had a net favorability rating with the public of 19 points.
Not even a year later, that public esteem for Clinton has disappeared. The latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found that the public is essentially split on whether Clinton is likeable enough. 43 percent of respondents said that they had a favorable opinion of Clinton while 41 percent said the opposite. Thats a staggering decline in favorability in NBC/WSJs polling from as recently as the winter of 2013 when 56 percent of the public said they regarded Clinton highly while only 25 percent disagreed.
Among those who have a positive view of Clinton, 21 considered it a very positive view while another 22 percent said it was only a somewhat positive opinion. Meanwhile, among those who hold a negative view of the former secretary, 26 percent said it was a very negative view while only 15 percent were lukewarm on their distaste for the likely Democratic presidential standard-bearer.
The numbers suggest Americans are far less charitable about Ms. Clinton when she is seeking office or, in this case, merely considering it than they are about other politicians who retire from public office, The Journal noted.
They cite the fact that both former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush have seen an improvement in their favorability ratings since leaving office.

When Benghazi Hillary finally comes to grips with reality, it’s going to be a free-for-all among the democratic candidates.
After the senate elections, let the games begin. So much dirt, so little time. Old wounds and all that stuff.
The more you know about her, the less there is to pretend to like. Even the leftist imbeciles are figuring this out.
How could you have missed CATTLEGATE?
One of these days, Americans are going to wake up to the FACT that liberals are a minority in America, made to appear larger in numbers because the vast majority in the MSM are liberals.
I have to admit that my opinion of Hillary has improved from very negative to just negative.
I cannot help but compare her to Obama who has set the new standard for terrible.
It is like how I used to think it was really cold outside when it would drop down to the low teens until I went to Fairbanks Alaska in January and experienced -40 for the first time. In the immortal words of Rodney Dangerfield, if you want to look thin, hang around with fat people.
The stained blue dress doormat is unfit for dog catcher.
I wonder if this could be the other way...
Hillary! was/is an Alynsky sycophant, met him, worked with him, thesized on him. Perhaps whatever Hillary! hitched-up with would have been the medium thru which she was elevated to power.
Palin is as dumb as a post and Harpy is the smartest woman in the world. Just ask ABDNCBS.
Pray America wakes
“The Flying Buttress”
If Warren decides she wants to run (and she may yet be pressured into it, despite her ‘no’ thus far), Hillary will be abandoned once again by the Dem establishment ... a redux of the situation with Obama. Hillary is rapidly accumulating Benghazi baggage .... initially, it was a carry-on she could hide in the overhead up until recently, but with the 13 Hours book coming out and when Gowdy gets through with his investigation, I think she’s going to be trying to stay afloat under tonnage the size of the ‘Al Entisar’.
In an age of short attention spans and media driven campaigns, being old news -- and just plain OLD -- is a political disaster in the making.
“Im hoping for a,
Elizabeth (the Squaw) warren for pres with Wendy (i kill my babies) Davis as her running partner.
What fun!”
You don’t think the same people who elected Emperor Nero Kardashian Narcissus twice will also elect Liawatha?
I think they will do it again, because they simply don't trust her.
Just an old white woman as the progressives would say.
Personally, I think she's the same as Bill Clinton ... unprincipled opportunists who would appoint Pat Buchanan as Secretary of State if they thought it would help advance their political careers.
I think the Democrats know this, too ... which is why they ran her out of town in 2008.
The Dims want to pull another Obama (blank slate) and inflict no nothing Grannie Warren on the populace.
Seriously, she just isn’t a likeable person.
My wife and I met with her in seattle for about 40 minutes just before we moved to KY. Yes, she is.
I think Hillary is electable. The press can get anybody elected.
