That includes 92 percent of Democrats, 64 percent of independents and even 41 percent of Republicans who approve of her job.
Just 25 percent disapprove of her job.
That 69 percent approval rating is higher than any other outgoing secretary of state measured in a survey since 1948 -- with one exception: Colin Powell, whose approval rating was at 77 percent per a late 2004 Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll.
This NBC/WSJ poll comes after Clinton -- a potential 2016 presidential candidate -- was hospitalized for a blood clot. It also comes after her State Department was criticized for the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi.
The full NBC/WSJ poll -- which was conducted Jan. 12-15 -- is released at 6:30 pm ET.

Take a year off to rest Madame Secretary and then RUN Hillary RUN!
Clinton/Powell 2016!
A white woman and a black Republican winning would cause a simultaneous mass stroke amongst 47% of this country... lol
And I'm sure quite a few of them will be posting on this thread with words like ....
Benghazi, fake tumor, etc.
Three, Two, One . . . .
(Sidenote to Feisty ... RUN Hillary RUN! YES!!!!)
@Feisty,
Happy New Year to you!
Clinton/Powell 2016?
Perfect!
Hey Bali Bob!
Thanks and same to you - good to see ya! ☺
Those 41% of Republicans who approve of Hillary must be the women! I sure hope she runs in 2016; would be proud to support her.
Oh the little Republican heads are spinning then exploding!!!!! A woman next? The horrors!!~!! Tee Hee! So loving this!
@Layton,
Funny how BenghaziGate and TumorGate fizzled out.
What's next?
Oh wait, I've already heard about it... Sandy HookGate.
Sheesh...
btw check out New Gun Lobby Ad on YouTube. Jimmy Kimmel nails the conspiracy nuts' nuts to a wall.
Tomorrow is Lee Jackson Day ... be nice to a Virgin
ianor try to help her re-enact it. Be civil and not warlike now.Bali Bob ...
I will! Thanks! Please tell me you've been watching Jon Stewart the past week. His insight on the topics have been GREAT!
whoops, I am a day off. Saturday.
I'll wager 90% of that 25% are white males over 45. Not bad for a woman who was scolded by Tammy Wynette.
@Layton,
I work with a bunch of Republicans. They' seem to be getting crazier all the time. Quite often I feel like the "lone voice in the wilderness".
Watching Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert helps me to maintain my sanity!
If this woman is anything like her husband, get her in. He knew how to work a crowd and get them to compromise. The current is way to divisive.
Benghazi Gate, tumor gate and birthers are the same people. You can tell by the three cornered tin foil hat adorned with tea bags they wear.
Johntho
Herr Glen Beck told them not to wear them anymore.
Apparently, I am the 30%!!!!!! Now lets group together 30% protest our disliking destroy downtown areas while attempting to scare everybody and..... oh wait, That's only the lunatic "99%." Seriously thought, I am the 30%.
seeking -- the last time hillary was a candidate the democrats rejected her rather soundly. maybe it is the democrats that will be incapable of allowing a women to be president.
As usual, you're wrong AGAIN!
Tell us, is it painful to constantly come up on the losing side?
I remember a hard fought drawn out primary which lasted 6 months, would hardly call that soundly rejected.
We chose the right man for the right job at the right time and will chose the right woman for the right job at the right time in 2016...
BANK on it! ☺
billybob - Hillary has done a great deal to increase her knowledge and experience and will NOT be rejected this time around! Democrats have no problem with a woman being President as you will see if Hillary runs in 2016!
Well Well, look at the stroke-fest going on here. You libs are pathetic trolls! Seeking Sanitarynapkins, you are such an uninformed idiot with your lack of educated posts. FR, your ass has got to be stretched to the limit with your head in it, along with the village idiots on this site. But I will admit that you all kept us laughing with your constant rants about nothing. Everyone knows that MSN/NBC/MSNBC are unreliable news agencies. WAKE UP, Hillary won't run for office and if she did she would lose.......AGAIN!
unoitall - after reading your post there is little need to reply. You show again that being illiterate, crude and classless is a requirement in order to be a Republican. Talk about a classless boob and your photo shows up!
unoitall. We sure do! After watching and heartily enjoying the Republican Primary Season. I suggest that the GOP encourage Laura Bush or even Nancy Reagan to run in 2016. What the heck! Can't be any more embarrassing than Herman or Rick.....
Ohhhhh! (RandogM) - that list of candidates, those who surged and sank - scary funny stuff! I'd vote for Hillary if she can take the nomination, but I'll be interested in hearing what differences she has with Joe Biden that make her want to run. I'm undecided as to which of them would be my preference.
Agree about Glenn fookin' Beck - and Stewart/Colbert power punches. * Also note that when Lee saw Stonewall Jackson's wounds near Spotsylvania he said (approx) "You have lost your left arm, ...I have lost my right." High drama in the real world bcwc.
You said a White Woman, and a Black Republican, Powell is no Republican. It is about as scary as a Obama/Biden ticket.
We will see her testimony in a little while about Libya, That should open some eyes.
Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL
that would be lovely
I like Clinton, and I like Powell but together I like them even more
300Michael
you are right
today, only wacko teabagging hypocrites are admitted into the Republican Institution.
Layton-3733410
especially the one about the ATF.
This is news how?
on a side note, 22% of Americans think that FR comes up with good material...
It is news because it is the results of a poll just conducted
Do you have a link to your 22% statement … didn't think so
ouch! who sh!t in your easter basket?
Of course you can provide a citation to back up your claim?
While you're at it, would you explain to us why you chose to waste your time coming here when you find the material so below your intellectual prowess, oh *cough* liberal one? lol
Are you auditioning as a stand in for the 1unfunnybroad?
Get back to us when you graduate "humor" 101...
wow, you two go run and tell your mommies that someone did a "no no" OK?
and Feisty, there are such things as liberals with common sense, not that you would notice...
Sorry dude!
You're as much of a liberal as you are a woman...
That's the problem, the more you blather one the more you expose yourself as a phony.
By all means, carry on... ;o)
Face it Michelle if it was a decline since the last poll and NBC didn’t publish that result (fact) in an article you would be the first to ask why they are hiding it.
lol @ you Feisty! you are so precious! i bet you get that all the time, tho, don't ya?
and, my point was... the fact that most people approve of Hillary's job isn't really news, I really never hear anyone ever COMPLAIN... so, it is like saying 70 % of people like McDonalds french fries.
DUH!!!
A to the MEN on that one!
will one of you prove otherwise, or just tell us that you don't know what you are talking about!
LMAO on that one Layton!
There is a gender/bender epidemic going on around here lately and now they expect us to disclose how we figured it out? LOL
Good luck with THAT!
We don't give away trade secrets...
A poorly paid one at that. Rove has had to watch his expense budget after blowing the election. I got such a kick out of watching that fat f--k implode on Election Night as the news came in that the President won re-election.
want me to email a pic of me holding today's newspaper chummies? if you don't know what you are talking about, you really should stfu... making yourself look bad...
Buddy,
You are the one who keeps digging the hole! LMAO@U
Like... DUH!!! ;o)))
Sure ... in a short skirt and holding it between your knees.
drama queens............
Hillary did a fine job. Even Benghazi isnt her fault. What was she to do except fall on the sword for Obama.
Psst Feisty.....
Did you see Rachel last evening? She was too funny, talking about "trolls"....unelected/elected trolls.
I thought about the trolls that inhibit this blog, and the ones that especially like following your every post.
Go get 'em Feisty!
[What was she to do except fall on the sword for Obama.]
Well, some would think that's a good trait. I'm sure you look for that in your "employees", right? Fall on the company sword?
So, Mr. 'veteran", tell us how you didn't fall on the "eeeeevil gubment" sword in your stint.
Gee Mickey, military service isnt via appointment or through election. Now you equate military service to public service...Too funny Mr Semantics.
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the
Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the
orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers
appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military
Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the
wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).
nothing about swearing oaths to governement. Sorry Mickey this isnt Feudal Europe.
So, no TOD's caesar? Kept stateside were you? Sorry to hear that.
You're right Mickey, my service time was between Two Gulf Wars. I never said i was a combat vet...EVER...I've never hinted at it..Guess my service only counts if you go to War.. Cool Micks, glad to see where you stand. Im going to ASSUME you probably have the belief that only Hard Left Democrats should be US citizens with Full Rights.
So while you proclaim to 'hand asses', i will continue to watch you show yours.
Dont worry my Friend, I wont believe either way, I rather enjoy this Status Quo ;)
P.S. for the record, never was a fan of the Second Gulf War.
I'm still expecting my favorite songwriter, the inimitable Courtney Love, to show up on Lil Michelle's doorstep some chilly morning and beat the living sawdust out of her for swiping her picture to illustrate her wishy-washy, troll wannabe persona.
Lil Michelle- honestly, girl, why do you even bother? The Progressives disown you, the Wrong-wingers ignore you. You are as genuine, and as interesting, as a basket of rejected, lead-painted, made-in-China Christmas tree ornaments. You should find a website where your lack of originality won't arouse such ire. Whassamatta, you too wishy-washy for Fox too?
Hey Feisty
How are things going in Chicago, Land of the social programs? Which elected official this year is getting charged criminally and or sent to prison. Visit Gov. Rod Lately? Taking those conjugal visits are you?
Good job, Hillary. Thanks.

Hillary for President 2016
I remember back in the 90's when the internet was in it's infancy, that even then, the rwnj's would send out filthy chain e-mails with Hilary's face super imposed over a pornographic picture. Usually with a black man too. Boy, the hate was real ripe back then. Funny how it changed from 2000 to 2008. Wonder why?
And its ripe today for people that continue to use derogatory remarks when referring to another is not going to stop it either. Funny how that hasn't changed is it?
What is the approval rating of Ben Gazzi? Looks like the Fox News misinformation campaign against the President and Ms Clinton failed miserably. Again.
Hillary Clinton has done a superb job as SoS. She cleaned up the mess left by the previous Administration and regained the respect and admiration that we have enjoyed until 2001 and into 2009. She went to places who had never seen a US SoS before and was constantly on the go. I concur with the suggestion that Hillary run for POTUS in 16 and she pick Colin Powell as her Veep. They's sure have my vote. I like both of them. Too bad Powell was mixed up with Dubya's Administration or he might have been able to be in the #1 spot instead of possible for #2.
doesn't the left believe powell lied at the un to get the war in iraq started?
@billybob,
General Powell was given a pack of lies concocted by the Bush Administration to present to the U. N.
He did his job as a Soldier.
right -- except he was the secretary of state. so hillary, too, as secretary of state was given a pack of lies concocted by the Obama Administration.
bush has been creamed over the years about this so-called pack of lies; i wonder if obama will be treated the same way?
Obama's leadership qualities and intelligence have never been called into question except by the same tinfoil-hatted 'patriots' who inhabit your alternate reality. We note with amusement that on alternating days, you and your comrades call this President a 'dictator', a 'king', and compare him to Hitler, except when you're calling him 'wishy-washy' and trying to portray him as vacillating and weak.
Don't you ever get whiplash trying to keep up with the people who tell you what your deepest convictions are from day to day?
As many Texans, including your humble scribe, will readily attest, George W. Bush was a man so weak and so dumb, he wasn't even really credible as a puppet; this is why you'll so often see us Lefties referring to 'the corrupt Cheney administration'.
History will be much kinder to President Obama than it's been so far to President Cheney and his sock puppet, George What's-his-mug.
Ahhh the Double Standard comes shining through!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm certainly hoping Hillary runs in 16!!! I firmly believe she would make an excellent President!!! And as for Collin Powell? Of course! He would be the perfect V.P. to Hillary, then the best chance for another Black President, eh???
DfromSpencer - from what I understand Colin Powell's wife's health may keep him from running. Otherwise I would LOVE to see that combination!
What's the matter with Powell/Clinton 2016 libs? Hmmmmmmm.
i don't think the libs are ready for a woman president. remember how quickly they dumped hillary last time when a man of color came on the scene.
it is tough balancing their identity politics but apparently color trumps gender
billybob - you wish! We will back Hillary enthusiastically in 2016!
right -- until someone else comes along like last time? maybe castro? the first hispanic could be very tempting -- color vs. gender all over again.
i guess biden is toast? no future as president?
Billybob, to quote your revered Saint Ronnie- "There you go again!"
Those of us who reside on Planet Earth remember a hard-fought and drawn-out primary battle between Senator Clinton and Senator Obama.
"remember how quickly they dumped hillary last time when a man of color came on the scene." --well, actually, no. Those of us who lack the conservative gift of "believing six impossible things before breakfast" don't remember that at all.
Your sieve- like memory would be excusable in a nonagenarian dotard or a twentysomething stoner. Pray tell, sir, what's your excuse?
You're right we need Hilary to take some time off; regroup and get ready for 2016. I like the VP choice of Powell. You bet the right will have a field day with that.
WIth this being my busy time, I hate not getting to keep up with all the liberal posters that I have come to enjoy this last few months. However, I rest easier knowing that Feisty, Layton, bcwc, and the rest of you true left-leaning posters will keep the rwnjs on their toes. I try to sneak a peek to the posts when possible, but it's getting harder and harder to fit it in.
God bless you all! God bless the United States. God bless President Obama and VP Biden.
Hilary in 2016!!
Sorry to put a damper on your entheusiasm folks, but if Hillary Clinton were to become POTUS the Repubs would turn on her in an instant. They hated her then (as FLOTUS) they hate her now (just want her to run again to gin up the haterbase) and will hate her if she becomes POTUS. They hate all Dems, even Blue Dogs. They live and love to hate all who do not bow before their (all too) "common" wisdom. Besides, VPOTUS Biden has proven that He should be the next President. The American people were ready to ignore race and heritage when electing President Obama (twice) and they will certainly elect a woman, especially a warrier like Senator, Sec. of State Clinton, if she is the Democratic nominee. The American public are not the problem. The problem is the idiot-infested Republican Congress and their willingness to commit any foul, regardless of the consiquences to themselves, America or even the Earth, to try to keep the ball in their court. There are plenty of great Women in the pipeline (and more great Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and others too). Just because SOS Clinton is highly capable, well prepared and deserving does not mean she would make for the most effective leader while the Repuglythons are (hopefully) in their death throes, as that's when they could be the most dangerous. Much depends on the Supreme Court in the next four years. I, for one, would have preferred H. C. to B. O. in '08 (though she's even better prepaired now) as I didn't think B.O. had aged in the cask sufficiently at that time and was too susceptable to the Racial inanity of the RWNJ's. He has matured quickly though and I have high hopes for what we may be able to accomplish this term if the American Public can put enough pressure on Congress to tamp the crazies a bit (a tough job until (hopefully) '14)). If not, however, though he'd probably deferr to H.C. for history's sake, my bet for '16, to get stuff done, Would be a President Biden. Sorry, I can't believe Gen. Powell was uninformed enough to know he was shoveling scat to the U.N. (I did at the time and I'm no intelligence wonk) which, to me means he was sucked in to the whole "Demcratize the Middle East using 911 PNAC" mindset, and though he has since recanted to a degree, he missed his moment in History. Support Public Education, it's our only hope over ignorance.
And of course there is NO HATE in liberal Sainthood is there?
A Reporter recently asked Bill Clinton about Hillary's head. He replied, "she's no Monica".
So in other words she would have a WAY higher rating if the GOP were not allowed to vote. If Obama had appointed GOD to that job the GOP would still give a LOW approval rating. Face it, they have been useless spiteful pricks since Obama took office.
When and if the truth of Benghazi ever comes out, she might not be so highly regarded as candidate for leader of the once-free world.
Where has she shown leadership skills? Libya, Syria, Egypt, Iran, China? It is so easy to find her mistakes, were are her accomplishments? We need someone who's ideal of foreign policy is not watching TV of Americans getting killed.
She should take a year off and rest, the only way we will notice a difference is less dead Americans.
I wonder how people could have a real indication of whether she has done a good job or not.
Personally I can say that I like her more now than I did before, but what has she accomplished?
Anyone???
How come I never get polled ??? Oh thats right its a girl thing. They only polled Women. Thats means 31 % of the women do not approve of her performance. How did they come up with 25 % disapproval ? Something don't add up here.
