Hillary Clinton is even less popular now than when she was running for president.
Just 39 percent of Americans view Clinton favorably, according to a Bloomberg national poll conducted last week and released on Monday. A year ago, when Clinton was the presumptive Democratic nominee, her favorability was at 43 percent. The former secretary of state is viewed slightly more negatively than President Donald Trump, who has historically low poll numbers for a president this early in his administration.
That puts Clinton at odds with every losing presidential candidate since 1992. Except for Clinton, the defeated candidate saw an increase in favorability ratings after Election Day, according to Gallup data.
The Bloomberg poll didn’t get into reasons for Clinton’s decline in favorability. But there is, of course, one thing that sets her apart from the pack of failed candidates: Clinton is a woman.
In follow-up interviews, Bloomberg poll respondents said their negative feelings about Clinton had nothing to do with her loss. Instead, they emphasized how unlikable they consider Clinton ― echoing the opinions of many voters during the 2016 campaign.
“She did not feel authentic or genuine to me,” Chris Leininger, 29, an insurance agent from Fountain Valley, California, told Bloomberg. “She was hard to like.”
That’s neither an unusual nor a surprising sentiment. Women with strong ambitions and opinions typically take a likability hit, Colleen Ammerman, director of Harvard Business School’s Gender Initiative, told HuffPost.
A mountain of research on women leaders has found that the idea of a powerful woman runs counter to most people’s expectations for what’s considered feminine ― quiet, supportive, nurturing and definitely not ambitious.....

Exactly my thoughts.
If Cankles is smart she’ll run and hide.
Mrs. Clinton is surely no Lady Thatcher and no Golda Meier...
Yeah, could be. Whatever residual hold that Hillary may have over the party will have to be extinguished *soon*, to smooth the path for Harris. Bring out yer (political) dead!
I’m confused.
Wasn’t Sarah Palin a women? We all loved her.
So... how can we hate all women?
Don’t women like women? They make up 50% of this thing.
So do women hate women because their women?
Difficult this one. Unless it is Hillary’s character.
She is a worthless ruthless murdering criminal and congenital liar.
That might explain it.
LOL!
A lot of us were Cruzers before the Iowa voter shaming debacle.
I took a hard look at Trump starting with the escalator interview and 1 maybe 2 months later made the switch.
Trump should start calling Kamela Harris “The Crooked Clinton Clone” to get her tagged and defined early. All Clinton’s wealthy donors are giving to her.
Great strategy Dems, run a Liberal from NY and lose in 2016, next run a radical Liberal from even more liberal CA in 2020. Uhhh huhhhh
She is evil. She is not smart.
Mrs. Clinton is surely no Lady Thatcher and no Golda Meier...
LMAO—playing the victim woman card again for Kankles!! I love it: “I’m tough as nails, I can be leader of the free world, but boo hoo I’m a woman and the boys are picking on me.”
That beyotch Kamala will be just as repulsive and unlikable as Kankles if she tries to run for POTUS in 2020. In the meantime Kankles will keep reminding everyone how repugnant nasty libtard women are.
at this point we should stay away from commenting publicly on any potential person who decided to run for presidency in 2020 otherwise we risk being ignored. lets at least wait till Dec 2018 do our research and then go after them for being who they are.
HEY! Comparing Hitlery to corrupt politicians is giving corrupt politicians a dirty name!
I’ll settle for what Final Judgment says of their family and helpers, including those responsible for carrying out Arkanicides.
How about Hillary is a power hungry, evil lefty, who is also a criminal and responsible for the death of an ambassador, 3 of our military, seller out of this nation, destroyer of laptops, computers, multiple cell phones, LIAR, and Russian lapdog?
She isn’t even Indira Gandhi.
The bitch ought to be in jail. Lock her up, lock her up.
She would be unpopular in prison too.
article totally ignores all the women of both political stripes who are popular. It’s like Hillary is the only woman candidate ever. The fact she never earned one job may have something to do with her unpopularity. She was handed a senate seat, handed the S.O.S. job and handed the nomination. Actually they tried to hand it to her twice.
