In the poll conducted on July 7 to 10, Clinton took the lead among the potential presidential candidates with 55 percentage points despite the decrease in her favorability rating among Americans after she left office in 2013.

Following her is Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-Ark.) with a rate of 33 percent favorability rate and 54 percent familiarity. Coming third in favorability rating is Vice President Joe Biden, who garnered the top spot as the most familiar potential candidate with 80 percent familiarity rate.

Republican Senator Rand Paul earned 32 percent favorability while having 55 percent familiarity rate among the possible presidential candidates.

Meanwhile, middle-class favorite and anti-Wall Street crusader Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts is familiar to only 38 percent of the respondents with 21 percent saying that they have a favorable opinion of her.

Gallup cited Gov. Chris Christie's (R-N.J.) favorability rate had dropped 41 points since the George Washington Bridge scandal where some of his staff purportedly initiated the closure of lanes leading to the bridge as political retaliation against Fort Lee's city mayor.

The phone survey was conducted with 1,013 legal-aged Americans with a 4 percent margin of sampling error.
