Hillary Clinton has hit a new low.

No, she didn't rudely dismiss questions about the death of Americans while she was Secretary of State ("What difference at this point does it make?!") or charge that probes into her illegal activities were all part of a right-wing conspiracy (she's played that card before with no luck).

Hillary's new low is her image. Her badly tarnished, barely visible, ever diminishing image.

"Hillary Clinton's image has declined since June and is now the worst Gallup has measured for her to date," Gallup reports. "Her favorable rating has fallen five percentage points since June to a new low of 36%, while her unfavorable rating has hit a new high of 61%."

Clinton is still cross-crossing America and Canada (for some reason) giving lengthy performances on why she lost the 2016 election as she hawks her self-absorbed book, "What Happened." In her debut in Washington, D.C. (which your author was unfortunate enough to attend), the bitter loser blamed former FBI director James Comey, Russia, computer bots, Wikileaks, Bernie Sanders, Facebook, Joe Biden, fake news, Twitter, voter ID laws, the vast right-wing conspiracy, sexism, Barack Obama, ageism, Anthony Weiner, white women, xenophobia, black people, the electoral college, the DNC, misogyny and more for her loss. We think. We nodded off mid-talk.

Hillary explained that she was able to get over the loss quickly — even though she was still moaning about it after ten months. "I was so devastated and it was incredibly painful," Hillary said. "It took weeks of just getting up every day, cleaning closets, going for walks in the woods."

And on and on she droned.

Gallup does a nice job summing-up what's prompting Hillary's image to plummet.

Since losing to Trump, Clinton's favorable ratings have not improved, in contrast to what has happened for other recent losing presidential candidates. In fact, her image has gotten worse in recent months as Democratic leaders, political observers and Clinton herself have attempted to explain how she lost an election that she was expected to win. Meanwhile, controversy continues to swirl around Clinton given continuing questions about the fairness of the 2016 Democratic nomination process and her dealings with Russia while secretary of state. There has also been renewed discussion of Bill and Hillary Clinton's handling of past sexual harassment charges made against Bill Clinton in light of heightened public concern about workplace behavior.

Bill Clinton's image is also slumping. His current 45% favorable rating is down five points since Gallup last measured Americans' opinions of him in November 2016. "Given his 52% unfavorable rating, more U.S. adults now have a negative than a positive opinion of the former president."

Many political experts, and likely the Clintons themselves, thought Bill and Hillary Clinton would be residing in the White House in 2017. But Hillary Clinton's surprise defeat in the 2016 election ended their careers as elected officials. The year away from politics has not caused Americans to view either in a more positive light; in fact, the opposite has occurred with Bill Clinton's ratings the worst in 16 years and Hillary Clinton's the worst Gallup has measured to date. Rather than looking favorably upon their more than 25 years of public service, the past year has been filled with second guessing of the 2016 Clinton campaign strategy and continued allegations of unethical or illegal behavior on Hillary Clinton's part during her time in public service and as a presidential candidate. In addition, the focus on sexual harassment this year has caused some, including Democrats, to question the way Bill Clinton's supporters responded to past allegations that he mistreated women.

Ouch.
