"... had strong favorability nationally ..."
In the wake of a presidential campaign that reminded Americans of the string of allegations of sexual misconduct lodged against him, former President Bill Clintons status as a former president has eroded, according to a new survey.
A University of Virginia Center for Politics-Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that when assessing which former president Americans would like to see back in the White House, Bill Clinton received only 6 percent support.
By comparison, 21 percent of those participating in a similar poll in 2012 said they would like to Bill Clinton return to the White House.
Clinton, who polled strongly five years ago when asked to rate the top presidents after 1950, fell sharply in the 2017 poll.
..
In 2012, Hillary Clinton had strong favorability nationally while she was secretary of state. Once she re-entered the political fray and was the target of negative attacks for two years, her numbers eroded significantly, and that erosion appears to apply to her husband as well, he said.

More than had them at the debate, featured them in a surprise pre-debate press conference. No one could ignore the history.

Ugly ears: Yes. And it’s been said that another body part isn’t too attractive, either. Crooked, they say.

They have him on a vegan diet since his heart episodes. Yes cut out the fatty burgers. But he looks that way because he’s not getting the complex animal proteins humans evolved on.

Thanks to Trump, Clinton and Obama will be relegated to the trash heap of seriously flawed presidents - even Carter will look good in comparison when all is said and done.

I suspect that as the public ‘got to know’ Hillary, their opinion of Bill took a dive.

Bill Clinton received only 6 percent support. By comparison, 21 percent of those participating in a similar poll in 2012 said they would like to Bill Clinton return to the White House Pretty simple. In 2012 Barack Obama was the President. Now Donald Trump is.
