Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will leave her cabinet post in good standing with an American public that would strongly support her presidential bid in 2016, according to a poll released Wednesday.

The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll shows that 68 percent of American adults approve of the job Clinton is doing at the State Department, while 66 percent said they have a favorable opinion of her. 

Those numbers alone would augur well for her future presidential prospects, but a separate question in the poll fully affirms how strong her candidacy would be. Fifty-seven percent said they would support Clinton should she make a White House bid in 2016, while 37 percent would oppose her candidacy.
