Your support matters…Newsday:
Barack Obama may have prevailed over Hillary Rodham Clinton in the presidential primaries last year, but a new poll shows that Clinton is currently more popular than the president.
The Gallup poll conducted Oct. 1-4 shows Clinton’s favorable ratings at 62 percent, and Obama’s at 56 percent.
Gallup said the juxtaposition is due more to Obama’s declining popularity than any rise in Clinton’s favorable numbers, which have changed little since January. Then, 78 percent saw Obama favorably, compared to 65 percent for Clinton.
Clinton, now Obama’s secretary of state, is a former Democratic U.S. senator from New York.
