It's not likely her favorables will get better. As Sanders becomes better known, it's very likely his favorables will improve. To the point where he starts taking votes from Hillary... she is likely getting some support from those who view her unfavorably, but support her anyway because they don't know any other candidate or want to support a front runner. I'm quite sure her campaign is worried about Sanders even at this early stage, but simply haven't come up with a solution.
