Hillary Clinton - as of June 2014, is the most popular politician among Americans. According to the most authoritative opinion polls, 66.4% of Americans who consider themselves as Democrats, would vote for her. Her political rating the national average among all categories of American voters is 51-52%. And you know what? I find it strange. Too many negative moments in her views, to see her as our leader. She strongly endorses same-sex marriage. She endorses the failed Obamacare and the death penalty. She has shown herself as an ineffective politician in the past. She is a politician of the past at a time when the country needs new faces. And she has high ratings. Why?

Nostalgia for the 90's boom and just coming out of the least partisan and politically charged members of the cabinet. Her numbers will decrease as the election season ramps up.

As for your specific points:

She strongly endorses same-sex marriage.

Fairly generic non-controversial position, almost certainly a majority of Americans support gay marriage

This is genuinely an unpopular position, but hardly career ending. Obamacare has been pretty botched, but parties have had worse policies and still put up viable candidates.
