Hillary Trails in Polls

Rasmussen Reports ^ | December 13 2004 | Scott Rasmussen

[vmoney]

If the next Presidential Election were held today, 46% of voters would vote for a generic Republican candidate over Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that 39% of voters would cast their ballot for Senator Clinton.

The New York Senator holds a narrow 45% to 42% lead among women, but trails by 17 points among men.

The national telephone survey of 1,500 Likely Voters was conducted by Rasmussen Reports December 3-5, 2004. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.

An earlier Rasmussen Reports survey found that 42% of Democrats believe that Senator Clinton is the Democrats' strongest candidate for 2008. Other survey data shows that 51% of Democrats want their next Presidential candidate to be more of a centrist than John Kerry.

Forty-five percent (45%) of voters have a favorable opinion of Senator Clinton while 42% have an unfavorable opinion. The fact that 87% of voters have an opinion about her is remarkably high for a United States Senator.

The headline "Hillary Trails in Polls" made my day.

[A CA Guy]

Never thought Hillary could be much of a poll dancer anyway.

[television is just wrong]

Thank God.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Ha! What did I tell you?

A large (but mercifully not a majority) of the American people are complete mind-numbed robot morons, who do exactly what their deceitful media masters tell them to do.

And what's the deal with women? Pathetic. Too much daytime TV.

Ick! Thanks for that image. Now I have to go scrub my brain.

But this is against a generic Republican. She might actually to better against particular candidates.

[COEXERJ145]

All Hillary has to do is declare that she will personally round up every illegal in this country and she'll have the support from all the Buchananites and the other nuts who think immigration is the only issue that matters in this world. It doesn't matter to the CINO's (Conservatives In Name Only) that she is so far to the left on 99% of the issues as long as she tells them what they want to hear on immigration even though she'd never carry it out.

[A CA Guy]

Sorry!

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Good call!

-good times, G.J.P.(Jr.)

[vmoney]

It didn't include Guliani who will most definately run and win. Rest easy...God won't let another Clinton in office!

[Libertina]

No problemo in any election - the RATS will just recount the votes in as many places as necessary until she "wins."

"A Rasmussen Reports survey found that 39% of voters would cast their ballot for Senator Clinton."

While it is 3.5 years down the road and a lot can happen I'm not as happy s some about the numbers. IMO 39% is the Beast's rock bottom number, her absolute, unshakable core and she is just smarmy enough to collect another 15%, especially if the rep candidate is weak. Again, IMO these numbers are not reassuring.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hahaha, good one, Phil. You got her number, LOL.

These results conflict with those in the link posted above!

These early polls are wortless, we have no idea what the issues are going to be in 2008. Too many things can happen in 4 years.
