New Poll Finds Bill Clinton’s Place In Presidential History Eroding

"... 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 Clinton’s 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.

One hundred years from the now the words “Bill Clinton” will be most familiar as the start of a lewd joke.

Absolutely correct. If there is ANY honest history written over the next 50 years (big if) Zero’s place will be reduced to one line, “the first black prez” and Clinton’s to scandal and impeachment.

Thanks for posting this photo.

Trump’s doing this was a strike against the Clintons specifically, and a massive strike against political correctness.

It was the kind of act that showed how Trump hits the bullseye when he reaches as far as he can outside of conventional politics.

His place in the sex offender registry, however, is trending up.
