  • Very favorable 27% {29%} [27%] (25%)
  • Somewhat favorable 26% {33%} [31%] (34%)
  • Somewhat unfavorable 20% {19%} [17%] (20%)

  • Somewhat favorable 23% {25%} [23%]
  • Somewhat unfavorable 22% {22%} [20%]
  • Very unfavorable 15% {12%} [12%]
Survey of 1,000 likely voters was conducted April 20-21, 2012. The margin of error is +/- 3 percentage points.  Results from the poll conducted February 8-9, 2012 are in curly brackets. Results from the poll conducted November 30 - December 1, 2011 are in square brackets. Results from the poll conducted September 16-17, 2011 are in parentheses.

Inside the numbers:
Not surprisingly, Democrats think much more highly of both Cabinet members than Republicans and voters not affiliated with either major party do.

Sixty percent (60%) of female voters have a favorable view of Clinton, but only 46% of male voters share that view. There is little difference in opinion between men and women when it comes to Panetta.

Voters ages 18 to 39 tend to have a more favorable impression of the secretary of State compared to their elders. Older voters see Panetta more favorably than those who are younger.
