Hillary Meter: 45% Liberal
30% Definitely Vote For, 37% Definitely Vote Against
The fourth edition of the Rasmussen Reports Hillary Meter confirms that the former First Lady has successfully moderated her image since the beginning of 2005.
In January, 51% of Americans believed Senator Clinton was politically liberal. Today, that number has fallen to 45%, reflecting a six point swing to the right. Every survey conducted for the Hillary Meter in April and May have found a similar move to the right compared to January (see Hillary by the Numbers. Also, data summaries from two weeks ago, and a month ago).
