Poll: America’s most popular political figure is…
Ms. Clinton’s favorability is higher than those measured for other national figures:
46 – 41 percent for Vice President Joseph Biden;
25 – 29 percent for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, with 45 percent who don’t know enough about him to form an opinion;
20 – 42 percent for House Speaker John Boehner;
27 – 15 percent for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, with 57 percent who don’t know enough;

That high for Sheriff Joe and you know it was a pool of morons.

Wonder if mo is a tad bent out of shape with this poll?

Last election proved that.
John the Libertarian on February 8, 2013 at 12:38 PM
Yep. Like the Roman Empire, America has collapsed within before it gets snuffed from without.
wildcat72 on February 8, 2013 at 12:39 PM
Hillzilla.

She has blood on her hands, along with Obama.
Schadenfreude on February 8, 2013 at 12:41 PM
People like Hillary because they, too, fantasize about being handed on a silver platter opportunities far beyond their capabilities, in spite of their own glaring deficiencies, venality, and incompetence.
Christien on February 8, 2013 at 12:41 PM
Yep. She is America’s Lady MacBeth, screaming “OUT, DAMNED SPOT!”
Christien on February 8, 2013 at 12:42 PM
Hey, you know the word gullible is not in the dictionary?
Please, folks, use your noggin.
Ask yourself this question…
Why was the “God Made a Farmer” ad the most popular?
Saltysam on February 8, 2013 at 12:44 PM
I want tha new Obama Action Figure with Skeet gun!!

Anyone remember Hampster Dance from back in the late 1990s?
I would pay good money to see Rodhampster Dance.

It’s the media. All of this nation’s ills is the result of the Left’s monopoly of media power and the Right’s refusal to take it from them.
Punchenko on February 8, 2013 at 12:48 PM
SF #1: Hello? Hello! HELLO! She still ain’t answering.
SF #2: So?
SF #1: It isn’t 3 AM, there. It’s not even 9 PM.
SF #2: At this point, what difference does it make? We’re as good as dead.
Dusty on February 8, 2013 at 12:49 PM
Oh, thats on a national level. If its on a state level, according to a recent poll, Christie has an approval rating of 70%. Wait for Coulter to jump in, and say hes the mooooost ‘electable’. Lol
tommy71 on February 8, 2013 at 12:54 PM
I knew Palin didn’t make the list because there weren’t 400 comments…
Odysseus on February 8, 2013 at 12:59 PM
Just goes to show how stupid most of the people in this country are.
topdawg on February 8, 2013 at 1:02 PM
Too bad Hillary is popular. She’ll get squashed by Michelle Obama in ’16. Watch.

Clark’s Hypothesis: The stupidity of the American public is proportional to the national debt.
DarkCurrent on February 8, 2013 at 1:05 PM
There’s a joke about a blue dress in there somewhere.
CurtZHP on February 8, 2013 at 1:07 PM
I’m pretty sure the Secret Service agents would pull Mrs. Obama off of Mrs.
Clinton if there were a chance of suffocation.
But it could happen.
turfmann on February 8, 2013 at 1:09 PM
How many agents would be in the vicinity though? Probably a couple dozen? Don’t know if they could do it. Do they have a crane?

I bet the GOP’s Beghazi concern theater helped a lot. They should do more shows like that.
lester on February 8, 2013 at 1:12 PM
lester and verbaluce, have you no shame?
Schadenfreude on February 8, 2013 at 1:14 PM
Final word from those who know
Schadenfreude on February 8, 2013 at 1:15 PM
Such a detailed and utterly pointless poll. Who pays for these things?
jake-the-goose on February 8, 2013 at 1:18 PM
They certainly have no problem with dead Americans.
CurtZHP on February 8, 2013 at 1:22 PM
Any time you and Killary have the chance to dance on the graves of the dead, it is good for you. Keep it up.
steebo77 on February 8, 2013 at 1:23 PM
lester and unfortunately also verbaluce, in front of your very eyes.
Schadenfreude on February 8, 2013 at 1:26 PM
People are attracted to living embodiment of their fantasy of being more popular, being handed powerful positions, and being promoted the more one fails. The worse you do, the better off you are–I imagine that’d be the shortest applicant line ever.
Christien on February 8, 2013 at 1:32 PM
And how is this different from 3 Americans who died in Algeria? or dozens every year who die in various terrorist attacks? I tell you what: This one was about borking Hillary’s 2016 chances and getting some conservative rage credits on live TV. Or are you telling me the same GOP congressmen who are called traitors on a daily basis in comments here are heroes of justice all of a sudden?
Best part? The plan backfired.
lester on February 8, 2013 at 1:32 PM
They probably don’t have any skin in the game, anyway, so what difference does it make if they are shameless.
Christien on February 8, 2013 at 1:34 PM
My favorite figure today is Dr. Benjamin Carson who isn’t political but maybe he should be. His speech sounded a lot like Ronald Reagan talking.

This is “news”? She’s always (at least in recent memory) been the most popular female political figure.
But does that translate into automatic electability in 2016, when she’ll be almost as old as McCain was when he ran in 2008?
It’s been 2 full months since the last “poll” re. the 2016 Presidential race came out, and that was done by CNN/ORC, hardly anti-Hillary. Check the usual sources like RCP and Polling Report, and you will find no new 2016 “polls” since that time.
Now, once again. What are her “qualifications”?
Anyone?
Del Dolemonte on February 8, 2013 at 2:07 PM
Algeria = private citizens employed by a private American company.
Benghazi = U.S. personnel under Killary’s authority. Personnel who had repeatedly warned, in direct messages to Killary, of the impending danger to their lives. Personnel who had repeatedly begged for increased security, but were ignored by Killary.

Was I talking to you? Windowless van at the mechanic again?
