Turns Out Hillary Clinton Is Way More Popular Than Barack Obama

It looks like Hillary Clinton may have won out over Barack Obama after all. Well, at least in the most recent approval polls—and we all know that life is really just one big popularity contest. A poll of news watchers showed that our Secretary of State has a 75% approval rating with only 21% disapproval. The Prez is lagging behind, with 51% approval and 41% disapproval. This is good news for Hillary if she decides to run again. But this gap is due, in part, to the fact that a whole lot of Republicans like Hillary better. In fact, the GOP is behind Hillary 57% while only 19% of them like Barack. Ahhh, it’s hard to be the boss. [Newser]

Whatevs. She has a job that generates a LOT less criticism. This comparison isn't really meaningful as a result.

@Dizzy - Exactly what I was thinking.These approval ratings are garbage anyway. People attribute every outcome to the President and much of it is beyond his control, for better or worse. I'm sure when asked, most of the people weren't exactly sure what Clinton had done in the past 6 months; so no news is good news, right?

I've read Hillary loves men in uniform and wholeheartedly backs the military in all aspects.

By the way, after my knee-jerk reaction to MuchoMacho, I wanted to mention that I actually like her in this role. I think she's doing well and I look forward to how things go over the next several years.

It's not surprising that the Republicans like her so much. She basically [i]is[/i] a Republican. Which is why my own approval rating for her is zero.

I still like Barack, but I wish his administration would forget election results and just eliminate the middleman insurance industry and socialize healthcare already. Then he would have my 100% approval.As for Hillary, yeah, she's doing a good job, I like her too. Unless they work in the same position, why compare the two?
