Many people on the left and on the right not only disagree with Hillary's ideas. They think that she is evil because she supports the interests of a small group of powerful people...

I don't know that I think she's evil. I just think that her foreign policy is awful as is her close ties with wall street. Foreign policy more so. My political coming of age was the Iraq War debacle and I refuse to vote for anyone associated with it. If Joe Biden was the Democratic frontrunner i'd feel the same way. I don't think that Hillary is uniquely evil by any means though I admit there may be some unique vitriol some have towards her that they don't towards other politicians.

She did the emails scandal. If I was working in an government job and used a private email, I would be fired and lose my security clearance. Hillary got off completely clean, and did not get any sh**t for it. Also, Bill Clinton did basically the same thing in office.

At least you're consistent. I recall many of the "muh Iraq War vote" people being #Ready4Biden, to which I can only respond with: you're either ignorant, a sexist, or both.

I wasn't aware "the left", whoever that is, thinks she is "evil".  Republicans think she is "evil" because they are partisan hacks.

The left hates Hillary because they remember the pre-2013 version and do not believe that she has truly evolved on every issue of importance to them.

The right hates Hillary because their most prominent thought leaders spent the better part of a decade peddling asinine conspiracy theories about her and her husband.

I'm on a similar page as Zen Lunatic. Foreign policy is really important to me to the point that the Iraq War vote would probably be a litmus test and her tenure as Obama's SoS doesn't help her cause. I don't think the issue is that she gets too much hate as much as her colleague don't get their fair share either; you don't see Kerry, Biden, or Teftlon Barry get the same media roasting.

     Yeah, what she did was hilariously incompetent. Also her foreign policy stances are awful, though that's true for basically every politician.

I don't hate Hillary.  I mean, she doesn't come across as very genuine (I don't know why this is seen as a sexist attack, but I don't have the energy to care), but I don't hate her.  She's a generic liberal Democrat who also seems like an opportunist.  Not much to love from my point of view.

If we understand "the left" to exclude liberals, the answer should obvious. Under Billary, welfare was gutted, the war on our inner cities was ramped up to 11, and our foreign policy of bombing random places in the middle east was officially inaugurated. All the slimy personal sh**t doesn't help, either.

Half of it is sexism, half of it is she's actually evil.

I wouldn't call the State Dept officially finding that Clinton violated guidelines or the FBI conducting an official criminal investigation conspiracy theories if that's what you're referring to.

Saying any accusations that Hillary has broken the law are the products of crazy right wingers when the evidence says otherwise strikes me as pretty dishonest.

I was more referring to Vince Foster & the Clinton body count, Whitewater, Troopergate, Bill's love children, Webb Hubbel being Chelsea's actual father, Hillary being a lesbian, and other assorted nonsense you may see on WorldNetDaily banner ads.

Mother Jones made a list, actually http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/06/hillary-clinton-conspiracy-theories

Does this question imply that Hillary's approval is on a normal distribution? I.e. Moderates like her lots and support falls away equally the more liberal or conservative someone is? I don't really think that's supported by facts.
