  • Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard's public feud with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in October has raised the Hawaii lawmaker's profile in the time since, according to a new Insider poll.
  • At the same time, however, the poll found that Gabbard's favorability dropped significantly in the same period. 
  • This suggests that Clinton's opinion still carries a fair amount of weight with Democratic voters.
  • It could also suggest that the more Democratic voters learn about Gabbard, the less appealing they find her.
