A Bloomberg News finds Clinton is viewed favorably by just 39 percent of Americans, compared to Trump, who is viewed favorably by 41 percent of Americans.
Americans view healthcare as the most important issue facing the country but are doubtful Congress will pass legislation that will lower premiums and cover more people, according to a Bloomberg poll released Monday. The survey shows Clinton has lost popularity even among those who voted for her in the November elections. By comparison, just 8 percent of likely Clinton voters felt that way in the final Bloomberg poll before the election, and just 6 percent of Trump's voters now say they view him unfavorably. Usually those problems arise in election cycles; in every election cycle except her Senate re-election in 2008, her Gallup favorables went under water.
The pollster says the Clinton disenchantment did not extend to other Democrats, though.
Hillary's lead over Trump did not waver in the months leading up to election day no matter what "news" was made by leaked emails or Trump's major league gaffes. On top of that, her favorable numbers had always rebounded after the election cycle concludes.
Rounds holds out hope for bipartisan health care reform
The revised legislation and the CBO score reflect new funding that's been added to the bill but not a proposed amendment from Sen. But that legislation, the CBO said Thursday, would result in fewer Americans having access to health care.
During the 2016 race for the Oval Office, Clinton and Trump had consistently low favorability ratings, with Trump's scores falling as low as minus 20.
For anyone else who lost an election, one would expect to see some kind of bounce after the partisan attacks had lost their objective. "There's growing discontent with Hillary Clinton even as she has largely stayed out of the spotlight", Selzer told Bloomberg.
According to a Bloomberg News National Poll, 35% of respondents said they thought health care was the most important issue facing the country, with only 6% feeling relations with Russian Federation were the top priority. Clinton, who is attempting to cast herself as the leader of the "Resistance" against Trump, is losing a mountain of support from within her own party.
