Seven months after the election, Hillary Clinton remains as unpopular today as she was after November's election, a new poll found.

According to Gallup, Americans' views of the Democratic presidential candidate remain unchanged, as 41 percent of people said they have a favorable view of Clinton, who challenged President Trump in last year's presidential race.

Clinton's favorability has remained unchanged over the last seven months, Gallup reported, with 43 percent of Americans saying they had a positive view of the 2016 presidential candidate in November. Her favorability dropped to 41 percent in December, and has been the same since then.

With the exception of Clinton, losing presidential candidates over the last 25 years have seen a boost of at least 4 percentage points in their favorability after the election, according to previous Gallup polls.

Mitt Romney, who challenged former President Barack Obama in 2012, and Bob Dole, who ran against former President Bill Clinton in 1996, each saw their favorability increase four points after their respective elections.

Former President George H.W. Bush, who lost to Clinton in 1992, saw his favorability rise 16 points, and Sen. John McCain, who faced off against Obama in 2008, saw a 14 percent gain in favorability.

No comparable data existed for Democrat John Kerry, Gallup said.

Clinton largely retreated from public view immediately after the election, but has since re-emerged. She gave the commencement speech at her alma mater, Wellesley College, last month, spoke about her loss at Recode's Code Conference, and has challenged Trump on Twitter.

Gallup conducted its poll of 1,009 adults from June 7 through June 11. It had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level, Gallup said.
