报告摘要

Recovery Pattern: Hillary Clinton experienced four sharp declines in her favorability ratings over 20 years, but each time recovered. This resilience is uncommon for political figures.
Key Events Impacting Image: Early gender gap due to "cookies" comment, scandals like Whitewater and Lewinsky, which initially damaged her ratings but saw rebounds; strong support during the Lewinsky scandal (65% favorable in March 1998).
Primaries and Political Career: Post-presidency, Clinton challenged for the Democratic nomination, notably against Barack Obama, with fluctuating support; her favorability among African Americans dropped during the 2008 primaries but rebounded due to her cabinet role post-election.
Favorability Trends: Ratings ranged from 31% to 66% favorable, with notable peaks. Current survey (Dec 2012) showed 65% favorable across demographics. Gender gap narrowed slightly in recent polls, with support near historical high among men.
Survey Details: Based on a 2012 telephone survey of 1,503 adults, weighted for demographics; sampling errors noted.
