WASHINGTON (CNN) -
Americans have a positive view of Hillary Clinton's personal characteristics that in many cases has only improved with time, and on some key measures of toughness and leadership skills, she scores higher than President Barack Obama, according to a new national poll.
A CNN/ORC International survey released Sunday indicates that most Americans consider the former secretary of state likable, honest, compassionate and admirable. Sixty four percent say she is tough enough to handle a crisis -- 11 percentage points higher than the president. And an equal 64% describe Clinton as a strong and decisive leader -- 14 points higher than the President.
Clinton gets her highest marks (68%) on likeability, and that number is up five points since 2007, as her 2008 bid for the White House was getting underway. Fifty-six percent say she shares their values -- up six points from 2007. And 56% say she is honest and trustworthy -- up five points.
But Americans also think she can handle the job of president. Nearly six in 10 say Clinton can manage the government effectively, 55% believe she can get the economy moving again, and 61% say she has the right experience to be president.
If there is a weakness in the 13 items tested in the poll, it is the number of Americans who say they would be proud to have her as president. At 50%, it is the lowest score that Clinton received in the poll, and it is down seven points since her failed presidential bid in 2008.
"Obviously, there are big partisan divides on Hillary Clinton with most Republicans reluctant to say anything positive about her, and that suggests that views of her personal characteristics may sour once a presidential election gets underway. But right now, Clinton has a reservoir of goodwill that would be the envy of any potential presidential candidate," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.
Americans split on president as a leader
As for Obama, a majority of Americans say that the president is not a commanding presence on the world stage -- 57% say that leaders of other countries no longer respect Obama.
Among the U.S. public, views of Obama's leadership skills are split right down the middle. Half think Obama has been a strong and decisive leader, with an equal 50% saying that description does not apply to Obama. There is also a roughly 50/50 split on whether Obama inspires confidence.
