It'll be interesting to see if this is ignored by the US mainstream media or spun to show Trump's low ratings.
Maybe they'll say polls are unreliable?!


Clinton's Image at Lowest Point in Two Decades.



*38% view Hillary Clinton favourably, 57% unfavourably
*Her favourable percentage was 55% as recently as two years ago.

'PRINCETON, N.J. -- As the Democratic National Convention gets underway in Philadelphia, Hillary Clinton's
image is at its lowest point in the 24 years of her national career, with 38% of Americans viewing her favorably
and 57% unfavorably

 Americans' most positive view of Clinton, 67% favorable, came in December 1998. Before last year, her lowest
favorable ratings since she became well-known had been 43% in January 1996 and 44% in March 2001.



Clinton was at 41% favorable in mid-June but drifted down to 37% by mid-July. Her favorable ratings have since
held near that level, including through last week's Republican National Convention.
Republican nominee Donald Trump's image for the past seven days was 36% favorable and 59% unfavorable,
only slightly less positive than Clinton's.

Gallup first measured Hillary Clinton's image in 1992 as her husband campaigned for the Democratic presidential
nomination. Her image, like Bill Clinton's, was mixed in the spring of that year but then grew more positive.

Her favorable ratings were above 60% at several points in 1993, and more than six in 10 Americans viewed her
favorably at other points as well: when her husband was impeached by the House and tried by the Senate in 1998
and 1999, from 2009 through 2013 while she served as secretary of state, and in April 2013 after she returned to
being a private citizen.

After launching her campaign last year and as her handling of emails while secretary of state became an
increasingly public and controversial issue, Americans' views of Clinton began their downslide...'
