Bill and Hillary's Popularity

BLLLLEEEAARARARARAFFFAFFF!

Now that that's out of the way. What was this?

As historians begin to examine the former president's legacy, and as political reporters (including The Fix) begin to analyze Sen. Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign-in-waiting, it seems like a good time to take a look at how the couple has fared in public opinion polling over the 14 years they have spent in the public eye.

I'm fairly certain that the historical take on Bill Clinton (which won't be written correctly for 60-70 years) will be about how wildly popular he was despite his serious failings, numerous flaws and huge, abiding mistakes. Hillary, hopefully, will be a secondary character like Woodrow Wilson's wife.
The rest of the discussion... What percentage of people think Elvis is living in a trailer park in Michigan and what percentage think they or a close acquaintance have been abducted by aliens?
