A majority of Americans view Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton unfavorably, showing her favorability rating near an all-time low, according to a new poll.

The poll conducted by Gallup said on Friday that 51 percent of voters see the former first lady unfavorable and 41 percent favorable.

"Clinton's favorability with the American public has sunk to one of its lowest levels in Gallup's 23-year trend," Gallup said.

Clinton, who ran for president in the 2016 presidential election, is in the middle of an issue over using a personal email server when she was secretary of state of the United States during President Barack Obama’s first term.

During an interview on Friday, Clinton refused to apologize for using a personal email account and server.


Clinton told MSNBC that “it wasn’t the best choice” and said that she should have had two accounts.

"People in the government knew I was using a personal account,” the presidential candidate said.

“But it would have been better if I had two separate accounts to begin with, and I’m doing all I can now to be transparent about what I had on my work related emails. They will be coming out. I wish it was faster. I’m frustrated it’s taking a while, but there’s a process that needs to be followed,” she added.
