Hillary Clinton's Campaign Horse Race

This graphic from the Economist is an entertaining look at how Hillary's fortunes in the current campaign compare with her 2007 campaign - the Economist assures us that the graphic will be updated as the Primaries campaign trail continues. Despite her approval ratings having fallen since the start of 2015 (partly as a result of the stories surrounding her use of personal email during her time as Secretary of State), she is still performing better than she did in 2007 - and currently seems to have little opposition in securing the Democrat party's presidential nomination.
