A Harris Interactive poll of 2,498 American adults conducted online from Aug. 10 to 18 found that of the Obama administration officials asked about, only Secretary Clinton received an overall positive rating:
- 51% positive (with 16% “excellent” and 36% “pretty good”)
- 31% negative (with 19% “only fair” and 12% “poor”)
- 18% not familiar enough to have an opinion
President Barack Obama was not included in the poll. Also, some of the percentages don’t add up exactly due to rounding.
Here’s how Clinton has done by month, with percentages in the order of positive, negative, and not familiar:
- August: 51%, 31%, 18%
- June: 47%, 34%, 19%
- May: 50%, 33%, 17%
- April: 51%, 32%, 17%
- March: 49%, 36%, 15%
Overall, pretty stable.
