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.....

There. Fixed.
Probably jiggering the numbers to make Kamala Harris look good.
There. Fixed.
Finally. A poll we can trust, can’t trust, will never trust.
Steaming pantload
Hollary’s only strong aggressive opinions are about the self preservation of her own skin and her loyalist inner circle. Sorry. The authors excuses are invalid.
Sore losers are rarely popular, just ask Al Gore.
Note to media. Women can fail too. Failures outnumber successes for most. Although the Clintons measure successes by the monthly body count list.
She’s an unlikeable corrupt politician in the worst possible interpretation of that word.
poli- many
tics- blood sucking parasites
JUST GO AWAY, YOU ARE A MENACE
Cause America hates a sore loser.
(especially when they are so stupid they lose a rigged election)
Her ‘gender’ or her preferences of gender had nothing to do with why she was unelectable. She is a lying, thieving, conniving wicked witch, and everybody knows it. She possess this attitude of entitlement and arrogance ... she is the embodiment of the Old Testament Jezebel.... I have detested her arrogance since the Iowa primary in 1992.
Al Gore Junior will either run again some day or play kingmaker handing over the Democrats’ crown at the convention some year.
Is that HuffPoo's excuse for their coverage of Sarah Palin?
Hillary is unpopular because a great number of people recognize that she is a narcissist who will put her chance at historical ‘immortality’ before ethics and before the lives of others.
The media that was doing everything to get her elected just eight months ago is now desperately trying to kick her to the curb. They have their female version of Obama ready to go for 2020, and they don’t want that has-been Hillary to muck up the works. Sorry folks, but the Clintons are the houseguests who will never leave. Hillary is going to cause trouble one way or another in every presidential race coming up while she’s still alive. The woman had two winnable presidential races and blew both of them. She has got to be the most bitter human being on Earth, and to see the media beginning to promote Kamala Harris as a presidential candidate has to be causing her bad flashbacks to 2008 when another little known black politician beat her for the nomination. Have fun Democrats! The 2020 presidential race on your side is gonna be a real mess!
Hillary is Jezebel, and Trump is Jehu. Said it in 2015 when I was a Cruzer, and am infinitely more convinced of this now.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
