A new Politico poll shows that Hillary Clinton might have her work cut out for her if she wants to run for president on her foreign policy credentials:
Just 14 percent described her time at State — she served four years ending in February 2013 — as “excellent,” while another 28 percent defined it as “good.” Another 21 percent called it “fair” and 32 percent rated her performance “poor.” Six percent weren’t sure or declined to answer. The survey of likely voters in states and districts with the most competitive House and Senate races was conducted this month as Clinton traveled around the country to promote her new memoir, “Hard Choices,” and discuss her time at the nation’s top diplomat.
Additionally, over 60 percent of independents rated her performance as “fair” or “poor.” Overall, Hillary Clinton still hase relatively high approval ratings among voters — but this poll suggests her approval ratings may soften considerably once candidate Clinton is forced to defend specific aspects of her resume.
