Who’s your favorite Democrat?

Bill Clinton’s still got it

Former President Bill Clinton had the attendees at the Democratic National Convention eating out of his hand, but it turns out the two-term president is popular outside of his party. According to a recent Gallup/USA Today poll, conducted two weeks prior to his appearance at the convention, Clinton is regarded favorably by a majority of Americans. First Lady Michelle Obama was also given high marks, followed by her husband, current POTUS, whose rating dropped 12 points. And then there’s Vice President Joe Biden … the only one of the four not well received by a majority of those polled.

See the accompanying chart for the favorability breakdown, including by sex, race and political party.
