Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton remains the 2016 presidential candidate to beat, but her handling of the Benghazi, Libya assassination of the U.S. ambassador, panned by the public, has significantly knocked her approval ratings down from an all-time high of just three months ago, according to a new poll.
While her favorability rating in February was 61 percent, a new Quinnipiac University poll out Friday had it cobbled down to 52 percent and her once double-digit lead over potential GOP presidential challengers Jeb Bush and Sen. Rand Paul has been cut to less than 10 percent.
"Her score is down substantially from her all-time high score in February. The drop in her favorability is substantial among men, Republicans and independent voters. One reason for her drop may be that 48 percent of voters blame her either a little or a lot for the death of the American ambassador in Benghazi," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University polling Institute.

Whatever. Her ratings will sky rocket again.
Please, I am so sick of this doom and gloom. Once she starts to run again it will drop because she is only popular when she out of the newspapers, but once she opens her mouth she starts to drop - proven fact.
Kerfuffle
If,you elect me President,I will increase EBT payments and
voters on disability-Problem solved!
Hillary is taking the $25,000,000 Golden Parachute. Watch Paleface Lizzy Warren. She’s already proven that she can lie and get elected. That’s the test for Democrat candidates.
LOL, Democrats never seem to dip below 50%, even when their approval “plummets”.
Hillary’s wet lesbian dreams will never be realized.
Beg to disagree with you!!! The American public has only heard tidbits about what happened at Benghazi. When the full, honest truth is known, both Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein “Muslin Brotherhood Worshiper) Obama will be shown to be directly responsible for the slaughter of the USA Ambassador and three American public servants, military & civilian alike. Give it time, the book on Benghazi is just barely open. These two people and their cohorts in government are traitors to the people that serve and protect our nation.
> LOL, Democrats never seem to dip below 50%, even when their approval “plummets”.
Because the polls are fabricated and a lie.
correct - the media will go full kneepad mode for her just like they did Obama
Please, I am so sick of this doom and gloom”
...”doom and gloom” is reality. Voter fraud, voter stupidity, IRS intimidation, feminazis, the media will all work together to nominate and elect this wench. I volunteer. I make calls. I donate money. I’ve worked for conservatives for over 30 years and will continue but this last election proved how truly uninformed the electorate is and how little they care.
Remember her testifying to Congress when she kept saying: “What does it matter?” in reference to the four who were killed. Well, now maybe she knows why it matters...Funny how really stupid statements always seem to come back and bite you in the a$$.
Because Hillary is a megalomaniac.
Her low ratings are only temporary. Once she's president she will make Obama look like a benign ruler.
Democrats know about and use Taqiyya more than the muslims. The Leftist mainstream media hardly stops using it, even for a few minutes.
Nothing absolutely nothing will ever come of Bengazigate
Hillary is done—her day passed in 2008. Sad really because I know she would have done a better job than Obama. Any though of her in the White House is a “wet Dream” of the liberal left. They are bankrupt—worst thing that happened to them was winning the election— the slash and burn tactics used will destroy obama, the Progressives and the Democratic Party. Lots of folks are going down—Holder is just the first.
