Bill "The Comeback Kid" Clinton is trying to help fellow Democrats rebound from poor public opinion ratings and retain control of the US Congress in November 2 elections.
The former president helped Senator Blanche Lincoln overcome anti-incumbent fervor and win a bruising Democratic primary in their home state of Arkansas on June 8.
Last month, Clinton provided a hand in snuffing out Republican hopes of picking up a seat in the House of Representatives from Pennsylvania by stumping for Mark Critz, the Democrat who went on to win the race.
"A lot of people still like Bill Clinton, particularly Democrats," said Quinnipiac University pollster Peter Brown. "They remember the Clinton years as prosperous and relatively peaceful."
A Democratic Party aide said scores of House and Senate candidates have requested help from Clinton, who left office in 2001 with the US enjoying record budget surpluses that have since become record deficits.
