Despite being the leading Democratic contender in the 2016 presidential race, Hillary Clinton's favorability ratings have slipped to their lowest point in 14 years.

A new CNN/ORC poll revealed that more people have an unfavorable view of the former secretary of state than at any other time since 2001, the year that she and Bill Clinton left the White House. Fifty percent of those surveyed had an unfavorable view of the Democratic contender in May.

Clinton's favorability numbers have also dropped to 46 percent, which is the lowest rating she has received since she was U.S. senator and polled in at 45 percent in March 2003, notes Raw Story.

According to CNN, the presidential front-runner has also seen a drop in key indicators in polls since April. The poll, which was conducted between May 29 and 31, revealed that 57 percent of respondents view Clinton as not honest and trustworthy, while only 49 percent said she was untrustworthy in March. In addition, only 47 percent of those polled feel she cares about people like themselves, while 50 percent said she does not inspire confidence.

Likewise, results from a Washington-Post-ABC poll showed that Clinton has received 41 percent of those asked said she is honest and trustworthy, compared with 52 percent who said she is not.

Furthermore, polls show that top Republican candidates have closed the wide gap that Clinton once had over them.

Last month the former first lady made a strong appeal to Hispanic voters by supporting a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. and giving certain undocumented young people the opportunity to join the military.

"If these courageous young men and women want to serve, they should be honored and celebrated, not discriminated against," said Clinton's national political director, Amanda Renteria, according to The Huffington Post.

"Hillary Clinton is committed to comprehensive immigration reform to strengthen families and our country. While we keep up the pressure for comprehensive action, allowing Dreamers to serve in the military is the right step forward."
