Jun. 8, 2006 at 11:24AM New York, Jun. 8 (UPI) — A poll of New York residents about a presidential face-off finds Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., and former Vice President Al Gore in a dead heat. However, in a Senate race, the Newsday/NY1 statewide poll says Mrs. Clinton will win hands down, beating her Republican opponents by more than 30 points. The poll of 1,463 registered voters was done by Blum & Weprin Associates in the past week, Newsday reported. The report said the poll numbers showed voter support to Clinton in the Senate race did not automatically pass on in a 2008 presidential race. The numbers showed 41 percent of the respondents supported Clinton in the presidential race, compared to Gore's 39 percent, but that is technically a dead heat because of the 3-percentage-point margin of error, the report said. Gore, who won 60 percent of New York state votes in the 2000 presidential run, has said a similar run in 2008 is a long shot. "It's (the poll) an indication she has a lot more to do if she wants to be elected president," said Democratic consultant Hank Sheinkopf, who is supporting Clinton's re-election bid.

The old Democrat ploy of doing business by the Polls! Is this a tack for getting Gore to accede to public will and say he'll run? Wonder if Kerry sees this as an opportunity for him!

Good. This will force Hillary to run further to the left to cover her base. She won't be able to continue her current rightward shuffle.

In a purely hypothetical choice between Hillary and Gore, I would have to choose Hillary.

She isn't an idiot!
