Hillary Clinton's favorability significantly declines: Poll
More Americans view Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton negatively than they did a month ago, reveals a new survey.
Forty-eight percent of likely voters view Clinton unfavorably, compared with 37 percent who have a positive view of the former secretary of state, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Monday night.
Her ratings have seen an overall 15-point swing since the latest NBC/WSJ poll in June, when 44 percent of likely voters expressed a positive view of Clinton and 40 percent viewed her unfavorably.
Despite her declining popularity numbers, Clinton continues to lead the rival Democrats by a wide margin. She is currently the top choice of 59 percent of Democratic primary voters.
Clinton’s favorable/unfavorable ratings, while worse than President Barack Obama’s during his entire presidency, are similar to those of her husband Bill Clinton heading into the Democratic nomination in 1992.
Clinton was Obama’s primary opponent in the 2008 presidential election and later became his secretary of state.
Meanwhile, inspectors general for the State Department and the intelligence agencies as well as legal experts are mounting pressure on the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation against Clinton for mishandling sensitive government information.
Clinton used a private email account to conduct State Department business during her time as secretary of state.
The scandal is being used by Republican contenders to slam Clinton’s transparency.
The NBC/WSJ poll revealed a 45 percent job approval rating for President Obama, down three points from last month.
