Hillary Clinton is still in line to win the Democratic Party's nomination to be the next commander in chief, but few Americans in the military have a good impression of her.

A new RallyPoint/Rasmussen Reports national survey of active and retired military personnel finds that only 15% have a favorable opinion of Clinton, with just three percent (3%) who view the former secretary of State Very Favorably. Clinton is seen unfavorably by 81%, including 69% who share a Very Unfavorable impression of her. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

That compares to the 47% of all Likely Voters who viewed Clinton favorably back in April. Just as many (47%) viewed her unfavorably.

Twenty-seven percent (27%) of military women share a favorable opinion of Clinton, compared to 12% of men.

Rasmussen Reports will release new numbers tomorrow on the Democratic presidential race to see if Saturday night's debate made any difference. Seventy-eight percent (78%) of Democratic voters think Clinton is likely to be their nominee, with 50% who say it's Very Likely.

The survey of 1,473 Military Adults was conducted from October 25 through November 2, 2015 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

Voters are more convinced than ever that the incident in Benghazi, Libya in which the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed on her watch will hurt former Clinton's bid for the White House.

Among active and retired military personnel, 62% of Democrats view the former U.S. senator and first lady favorably, but that includes only 15% who regard her Very Favorably. Large majorities of Republicans and those not affiliated with either major party have an unfavorable opinion of Clinton.

Views of Clinton are basically the same among active and retired individuals of all ages. Blacks (41%) have a much more favorable impression of her than whites (11%), Hispanics (25%) and other minorities (18%) do.
