President Donald Trump is still more popular than former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, according to a Bloomberg poll released Tuesday.

Trump is more favorable than Clinton by two percentage points, 41 percent to 39 percent. Fifty-eight percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of Clinton, compared 55 percent feeling the same of Trump.

The results are Clinton’s worst numbers in any Bloomberg poll. Her lowest favorability number ever recorded was 38 percent in a Gallup poll, just one point lower than this poll. The Gallup data was recorded in September 2015, when she was battling Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the 2016 presidential primary.

“There’s growing discontent with Hillary Clinton even as she has largely stayed out of the spotlight,” said pollster J. Ann Selzer, according to Bloomberg. “It’s not a pox on the Democratic house because numbers for other Democrats are good.”

One poll participant,Chris Leininger from California, told Bloomberg, “she did not feel authentic or genuine to me. She was hard to like.” (RELATED: Dems To Hillary: Get Lost)
