WASHINGTON Hillary Rodham Clinton is not only the best-known but also the most favorably viewed of the potential presidential candidates from either of the two major parties, according to a new Gallup poll.
The poll was conducted Monday through Wednesday, mostly after the news broke about Clintons use of a private email account while she was secretary of State, but before the news conference last week in which she addressed the issue.
Roughly 9 in 10 Americans said they knew enough about Clinton to have an opinion, and the poll released Thursday found that 50% viewed her favorably, while 39% had a negative impression. On both counts, that put her in better position than any of the potential Republican candidates at this early stage of the presidential race.
But Clintons favorability has declined since she left the State Department, as Americans have begun to see her again as a presidential candidate rather than in the less political role as the nations top diplomat. When she left the agency, about two-thirds of Americans polled had a favorable view of her, a number that has dropped steadily as partisanship has taken its toll.
Last June, when Clinton released her book Hard Choices, 54% of Americans in a Gallup survey had a favorable view. Comparing that number with the latest figure indicates that the email controversy had not had a significant impact on the publics perception of Clinton when the new poll was taken.
Among the Republican hopefuls, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie were the best-known, with about two-thirds of respondents holding opinions on them.
But in Bushs case, that opinion was closely divided
35% favorable and 33% unfavorable. Christie stood in a worse position, with negative perceptions outweighing the positive, 34% to 31%.
Among the potential contenders for the Republican nomination, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida had the highest net favorability, with 26% holding a positive view and 21% a negative one, the poll found. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker also had a net favorable rating, but was somewhat less known, with 20% favorable and 18% unfavorable.
The least popular Republican candidates overall were former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and the two Texans considering running former Gov. Rick Perry and Sen. Ted Cruz. For Santorum, negative views outnumbered positives, 27% to 20%; for Perry it was 32% to 25%, and for Cruz, 28% to 22%.
On the Democratic side, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who some have hoped will challenge Clinton, had a net positive rating, but was far less known than Clinton. The poll showed 22% viewing her favorably and 19% unfavorably. Warren has repeatedly said she is not running and has taken no steps toward starting a campaign.
The Gallup survey questioned 1,522 U.S. adults by land lines and cellphones. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. david.lauter@latimes.com   Twitter: @DavidLauter

Seems to me that Gallop is working hard to reach the bottom of the barrel when it comes to polling. It all depends on integrity, and I believe Gallop has lost that edge, assuming it ever had it.

What amazes me...no, I guess it doesn't really amaze me when I consider what progressive liberals are all about. It doesn't make any difference to a liberal that their candidate is; a liar, corrupt, a sexual pervert, incompetent, inexperienced, a hypocrite, is filthy rich, a flip-flopper, a coward, a narcissist, a sociopath, a socialist, a Muslim, foreign born, etc....just as long as they keep them entitlements rolling in. Hypocrites to the max. Military, economy, and country be damned.

KHH1-It is hard to believe that an educated person such as yourself would even consider Hillary to be president. This woman has not accomplished a damn thing except to continuously screw the taxpayer. (i.e. the Clintons are buying an 11 mil mansion in Chappaqua, NY. the mortgage payment is about 10K monthly. There is another house on the property which they rent to the US government for 10K monthly-that building is used to house the secret service agents assigned to protect the Clintons. So the taxpayer is not only paying for their protection but making their mortgage payment as well. That does not include the hundreds of thousands that both get from the government as retirement income) In spite of all this, grandma wrinkles cries poor mouth. Are you that gullible? Can you not see a useless, selfish, devious,lying old woman on an ego trip? A White House vacancy would serve us better than Hillary. Good Luck America !!!

VERY WELL STATED. And absolutely on the mark. I cannot grasp why ANY civilized human would support her......actually I don't think ANY civilized humans do support her. It's taking a while for my brain to get into motion this morning.

Jim, I hope I am wrong, but I seriously doubt Obama will step down merely because the Constitution says so. He's never paid any attention to laws or the Constitution and has never paid a price for dissing them. I think he loves the power and the perks entirely too much to graciously (he doesn't understand that word) step down when he KNOWS no one will force him to. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

You mean like the last presidential race, where they were dead accurate and FOX polling was not in the ballpark?
During the last election cycle, FOX was actually more correct.
No polling is ever 100% right, but this far out, polls mean nothing.
