No matter what they throw at Hillary Clinton, it doesn’t seem to matter to Democrats. A new Monmouth University Poll found that more than 3-in-4 Democrats have a favorable opinion of the former Secretary of State. Clinton currently has the support of 57% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters nationwide, which has changed little from the 60% support she registered two months ago, the poll said. Trailing far behind are Vice President Joe Biden (12%), Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders (12%), former Virginia Senator Jim Webb (2%), and former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley (1%). Lincoln Chafee, the former Republican senator and governor of Rhode Island who officially entered the 2016 fray as a Democrat two weeks ago, earns 0% in the poll.
“Clinton’s reputation has taken a battering recently, but the Democratic base has stood behind her,” said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute in West Long Branch, NJ.
