NYT: Clinton's favorability ratings lower than during 2007/2008 run

Signs of Hillary Clinton’s Troubles, in Charts:

For the first time in Mrs. Clinton’s two decades in national politics, more Americans see her unfavorably than favorably. Her net-favorability rating — now a dismal minus-10 or perhaps worse — is at least 15 points worse than it was at this time in 2008.

She hasn’t lost ground only among Republicans or Republican-leaning independents, but also among Democratic voters. I don’t have a comprehensive data set of Mrs. Clinton’s old favorability ratings among Democrats, but a quick survey of polls from August and September 2007 showed Mrs. Clinton with between an 80 and 88 percent favorability rating among Democrats. Today, they range from 65 to 77 percent. That shouldn’t be a surprise, given how far her national ratings have slipped.
