As much as Attorney General Eric Holder is despised by critics, he’s only third on the list of Most Hated Cabinet Member who’s resigned from the Obama administration.

The first goes to former Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki, with a 40 percent unfavorability factor, YouGov.org’s recent poll showed. And the second? That’s former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, with a 41 percent unfavorability rating, Mediaite reported.

Mr. Holder, by comparison, only nets a 37 percent unfavorable rating. YouGov reported that only 26 percent of Americans regard him in a favorable light.

Both Mr. Shinseki and Ms. Sebelius resigned during tense administration times — the former, during a blooming scandal within the VA over poor medical treatment of veterans and the latter, during the botched rollout of Obamacare’s enrollment site, Healthcare.gov.

Mr. Holder, however, says he’s stepped away from the law enforcement role due to personal reasons, various media reported.
