February 9, 2006--Support for Hillary Clinton's Presidential bid has slipped over the past month to the lowest levels recorded in two dozen surveys over the past year.
Today, just 27% of Americans say they would definitely vote for the former first lady while 43% would definitely vote against. Still, 59% of Americans believe it is somewhat or very likely that she will be the Democrat's nominee in 2008.
Among Democrats, the number who would definitely vote for Clinton dropped 11 percentage points over the past two weeks.

New York's junior Senator is viewed as politically liberal by 45% of voters (little changed from two weeks ago). Thirty-three percent (33%) see her as politically moderate (see trends).
Collectively, today’s Hillary Meter places Senator Clinton a net 53 points to the left of the nation's political center. That's unchanged over the past two weeks.
The political center is calculated by subtracting the number of liberals from the number of conservatives among the general public (35% conservative, 18% liberal for a net +17). For the Senator, 9% conservative minus 45% liberal equals a net minus 36. The minus 36 reading for Senator Clinton is 53 points away from the plus 17 reading for the general public.
Nationally, 38% of Americans have a favorable opinion of Senator Clinton while 47% hold an unfavorable view.

Who are these 9% that consider Hildabeast conservative?
C***y Al-Sheehan's cult?
In addition to Cindy, Hugo, Kim Jong Il, and Fidel also agreed that Hildabeast was too Conservative.
Oops! Should read, her numbers go UP when she plays Mr. Clinton's victimized, tragic he-done-her-wrong wife.
Note to self: Get brain in gear this morning.
Classic move. Have her buddies put out bogus polls to make her look "bad" and then put out bogus polls to make her look "not as bad as before." It's the reverse of a company raising it's prices by 20% and then giving you a 15% sale price for Presidents Day.
To MoveOn.org moonbat constiuency that is running the Dem party now, anyone slightly to right of Karl Marx is conservative.
Loveya Dubya!!!!
Death camp workers everywhere are greatly disappointed.
IF she gets it I can't wait for her reponse to questions about:
Walmart-sat on board of directors(I guess she liked it then)
FALN-terrorists pardoned by her partner in crime
Billing records-where did they finally come from
Eschelon-and she's worried about Bush wiretaps????
OBL-her partner in crime did nothing to catch him after the FIRST attack on the WTC...therefore...9-11!!
Arming our troops-who gutted the military in the first place?
Her percentage dropped because she's been opening her mouth more in the last month. This isn't good. I want her to get the nomination so the party will definitely tank in '08.
Notice the cow's increased shrillness and political rhetoric to hold public attention.
Heh-heh. Just put more of her screeching speeches on the networks and watch her ratings drop even lower. I don't think even her fans can stand to listen to that for long.
Well, if she isn't sticking her fat foot in her mouth, Dean is sticking his fat foot in the mouth of the dem party.
"Who are these 9% that consider Hildabeast conservative? "
The same people who wanted Cindy Sheehan to run for Senate.
"same people who wanted Cindy Sheehan to run for Senate"
I want her to run for the demo-rat nomination for Pres.
