Campaign 2008
Fifty percent of adults would not vote for Clinton
By Kelly McCormack
March 27, 2007
Half of voting-age Americans say they would not vote for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) if she became the Democratic nominee for president in 2008, according to a Harris Interactive poll released Tuesday.
More than one in five Democrats that participated in the survey said they would not vote for Clinton. Overall, 36 percent say they would vote for the former first lady and 11 percent are unsure of their top choice.
Forty-eight percent of Independent voters also said that they would choose another candidate over Clinton, the poll, which surveyed 2,223 potential voters, states.
Fifty-six percent of men said that they would not vote for Clinton, while 45 percent of women said that she would not be their pick. In addition, 69 percent of those 62 and older said that they would not vote for Clinton.
Nearly half of the respondents said that they dislike Clinton's political opinions and Clinton as a person. Fifty-two percent of people also said that "she does not appear to connect with people on a personal level."

HILLARY!
But as opposed to hillary-on-stage, Al thereon has a saving grace: He doesn't try to appear human. To the contrary, Al Gore embraces his humanoid essence. (In fairness to missus clinton, 'inhuman' is a measurably less salable descriptor than 'humanoid.')
To better understand why this is such an advantage for Mr. Gore, simply consider missus clinton's recent 'conversation' (with herself).
It was risible. Unintentional theater of the absurd: A chintzed-and-powdered villain, a soulless, angry, arrogant scold, oozing cloying, saccharine-coated evil, pulsating to the metronomic swing of stubby appendages--claws too short to grab its prey.
(Gesticulation is a dud's only sign of life... and then only if she has a speech coach to prod her.)
A precarious 20th-century conceit, the hillary! construct totters on a crumbling foundation of clinton lies, abuses and betrayals.
It should have been no surprise that David Geffen's comments to Maureen Dowd would so easily topple it.
But to the average clinton lackey, it apparently was.
A barrage of polls are shooting down the endless post-Geffen-imbroglio clinton-agitprop chatter that had called hillary clinton and her machine the hands-down winner.
According to the latest Zogby Poll, Barack Obama is gaining fast on missus clinton. The Quinnipiac University Poll released today reports that Giuliani has widened his lead over missus clinton in New Jersey (50-41).
But it is this week's Keystone Poll that foreshadows the final outcome. Rudy demolishes clinton in blue Pe-Ay (53-37). But more significantly, hillary clinton's favorable/unfavorable rating is a dismal 32/46. (The other candidates have net positive favorable ratings.)
We have argued elsewhere that the only way missus clinton can win elections is to run virtually unopposed, and then only if she remains immobil, hidden, mute, a prisoner of her own ineptitude, repulsiveness and criminality.
But of the three, it is missus clinton's repulsiveness--her ugliness--that will do her in.
The voters routinely ignore ineptitude, forgive criminality, but they never abide ugliness. Never.

Actually, the vote-smart trend predates 'Vote Smart.' See the Gallup poll, above.

Article didn't say that 50% would - there are 11% who don't know. You should read the article
If this holds, and Fred is our candidate then we once again will have averted disaster.
Anybody that would vote for Her! would vote for Her! multiple times.
Remember that Bill Clinton, the natural poliician, never got 50% of the popular vote. There is no reason to be complacent--if a third party candidate gets a significant number of votes, she could get by on much less than 50%, and the Republicans have to nominate someone who can unite the party and win a lot of independent voters. Whoever the Republican nominee is will be the target of the worst that the Clinton machine can throw at him.
From your print to God's eyes.
Missus clinton has to get virtually all of the undecided, which is not doable for someone with 100% name recognition and, at most, 10% clinton failure and clinton corruption and abuse recognition.
The trusty ol' hook would have been used on anyone else. Decades ago.
The biggest shock for all the idiotic pundits is when they see that the majority of women both single and married would vote against Hillary Clinton.
Thanks, lady lawyer. ;)
thanx, mmanager. :)
Exactly. Hillary Clinton is simply too mean, too nasty, too arrogant too phony, and too dull to be elected President, and the worst thing for her is that she cannot hide this horrible character of hers and the media cannot cover it for her no matter how hard they try. Her horribly annoying, nasty, and screeching voice, her wide open mean eyes, will turn the vast majority of voters away from her and at an early stage of the campaign, even before they know anything about her left wing socialist politics and huge flip flops.
How did you conclude up from that poll that this is another close election? When 50% of voters say that they definitely will not vote for Hillary Clinton, and 36% say they will, then she is finished. Running with these very high negatives months before the primaries even begin is a killer for any candidate.
I agree. Hillary in a field of four other Dems is one thing, as the only Dem versus an easily-demonizable Republican it's quite another. At the moment I'd say she's a lock within her party and a better-than-even bet for the Presidency. I just got chills up my spine thinking about it.
So, I guess this means we *don't* need St. Rudy to ride in and save the day for us?

To avoid voting for a 'liberal,' they will place their de facto vote for a Stalinist. (That'll show 'em.)
just in time. ;)
