Scott Rasmussen has announced that he will begin to track Hillary Clinton's extreme makeover as she attempts to soften her liberal image and move towards the political center. If his latest "Hillary Meter" poll is any indication, Clinton is having success.
The latest numbers according to Rasmussen Reports:
--Currently, 43% of Americans view the former First Lady as politically liberal. That's down from 51% at the end of January.
--At the same time, the number who view Mrs. Clinton as politically moderate has increased from 27% to 34%.
--32% say that if she is the Democratic nominee, they will definitely vote FOR Hillary Clinton.
---37% say that if she is the Democratic nominee, they will definitely vote AGAINST her.
-- 26%) say it depends upon who she runs against.
Rasmussen notes that she still has only a 44% approval rating with 40% disapproval, and more women would vote against her, than for her.
Hillary is re-inventing herself as an anti-abortion, gun loving, military hawk with each passing day. Oh--and expect the God references to flow from Hillary as often as she can work them in. The extreme makeover is in full swing.
This is a brilliant idea by the veteran pollster Scott Rasmussen.
Oh wait a minute, what am I thinking? The nightmare possibility is only 32 months away.
What gives you that idea? Really. I want to know why you would post such a statement.
I believe she can get the dem nomination and I really hope she does. I think too many people give her more positives than she deserves. She's a paper tiger with a whole lot of baggage.
"So if she talks about it that is good enough for you???"
Not good enough for me, but it might just work for many ill-informed Americans.
This is the same crowd that voted for Bill Clinton and Al Gore before switching to W in 04.
It's a vast right wing conspiracy to set her up for the fall.
She will be crushed.
Just remember what we did to John Kerry.
She hasn't said anything liberal since she ran for the Senate 4 years ago.
Surely, people can't be that stupid. Can they....?
As soon as she said that illegal immigration was a "problem" a bunch of FReepers started saying they'd vote for her because of that one statement.
And if you don't believe it, look @ post #6.
Of course, one could get real dirty and suggest she secretly watches Fox News.
Really? 20%? That seems a bit high.
I'm a moderate conservative, but she frightens the He** out of me.
She has no inhibitors except popular opinion, and that's only because she needs votes to win elections.
She has an agenda which will destroy America as a viable force in the world for good.
She has the support of the MSM, which thinks of itself as the Praetorian Guard.
She has the personality of a tyrant, and the politics of a Communist.
She'd outlaw the Republican Party if she could. She hates us.
LOL... Good one.
I know some young liberal women in the bastion of liberalism, Massachusetts, who cannot stand Hillary Clinton at all.
The majoirty of women have more trust in men to be President; it is women nature.
"What gives you that idea? Really. I want to know why you would post such a statement."
One word: BONG
Now stop stalking me. Posting that as a reply to everything I say is getting annoying.
