Hillary's Had a Really Good Month (Hillary Group)

Democrats are really, really starting to like Hillary Clinton.

The front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination has seen her net favorable rating jump 14 points among Democrats and those who lean to the left since the first Democratic debate in October, while her top competitor – Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont – has seen his own rating stay fairly stagnant, according to Gallup polling released this week. Both candidates, along with former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, will take the stage again Saturday in Iowa for the second official debate of the Democratic primary.

Since the Oct. 13 debate, which was largely deemed a Clinton win, the former secretary of state has not only ridden a high from her performance that night, she also was able to maintain her cool – and again come out on top from a political perspective – while under fire during a marathon hearing before Congress on the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

According to Gallup, Clinton now has a 63 percent net favorable rating among those on the left, up from 49 percent just before the debate. Her current tally is her highest since Gallup began tracking views of the candidates in July....

Sanders, though, has a lot of work to do.

While many Democrats were impressed with his debate performance, he apparently didn't do enough to change opinions of him. Since just before the debate, his net favorable rating has dropped 1 percentage point to 38....

Gallup polling showed Clinton is even more well-liked among liberals than Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, with Clinton holding an 11-point lead in favorability among the sector.

The senator also, quite simply, needs to become more well-known within the Democratic Party – something Clinton, having spent decades in the public eye, doesn't struggle with....

at the Benghazi hearings tortured her for 11 hours, really did him in. He made her look great with every snark he came out with.

Who ever told him to go beat up on Hillary after the country just witnessed her stoically sitting through half a day of abuse, is a complete political moron. If it was his own decision, then he should go back to the Senate and shut up before some nice your Democrat primaries his next run.
