The lowest favorability rating for Clinton came in 1992 at 38%. But Gallup said that rating was due to the public's unfamiliarity with her at the time rather than disapproval.
Clinton's bid for the Democratic presidential nomination has been dogged by controversy around her use of a private email account and server during her time as US Secretary of State.
