Negative perceptions of Hillary Clinton have risen in the wake of news reports detailing her exclusive use of a personal e-mail account, rather than a government address, while she was secretary of state, a CNN poll released Monday found.
Clinton, a possible 2016 Democratic presidential contender, was viewed favorably by 53 percent of those surveyed March 13-15 and unfavorably by 44 percent. That compares to a 59 percent favorable versus 38 percent unfavorable response rate from November 21-23.
