Hillary Clinton Losing Support in New York
NewsMax ^ | 4/23/07

Front-running Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton's favorable rating is slipping at home and New York voters aren't quite as sure they prefer her over Republican Rudy Giuliani, a statewide poll reported Monday.

The latest poll from Siena College's Research Institute had Clinton leading Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, 48 percent to 43 percent, down from the 51 percent to 39 percent lead she enjoyed in a March poll from the Albany-area college.

Clinton's favorable rating among New York voters was at 50 percent in the latest poll, down from 56 percent last month.

"The fall in her rating has been dramatic since January, when she had a 60 percent to 33 percent favorability rating," said Steven Greenberg, a spokesman for the Siena poll.

The Clinton slippage was also evident in the race for the Democratic nomination. The new poll had the state's junior senator leading Barack Obama, 39 percent to 17 percent. She held a 32 percentage point lead over the Illinois senator last month among New York voters. National polls have also shown the race tightening.

The Clinton camp said other New York polls, including one earlier this month from Quinnipiac University, showed Clinton remaining strong in her home state. The Quinnipiac poll had her favorable rating at 58 percent, statistically unchanged from the 59 percent she had in the school's February poll.

"We're proud to have such overwhelming support in New York, but are taking nothing for granted and will work hard for every vote," said Clinton spokesman Blake Zeff.

The Siena poll found Clinton's decline against Giuliani was sharpest among independent voters and suburbanites. Against Obama, her drop-off was largely due to a shift among New York City's Democratic voters.

"The campaign is clearly heating up early and it's clearly having an impact on her numbers," Greenberg said.

On the Republican side, Giuliani continued to enjoy a strong lead for the GOP nomination among his home state voters - 47 percent to 16 percent for Sen. John McCain of Arizona. No other Republican was in double digits.

Siena's telephone poll of 980 registered voters was conducted April 16-20 and has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

The hell of it is, she LIVES by these polls, and will soon start to say and do whatever it takes to reverse this trend. Lots of time for her to duck and weave.

I think she has a good chance of becoming the nominee but I do not see her getting elected.

If she does become the nominee will she give up her senate seat so she can hit the campaign trail?

Hillary will never give up her Senate seat. She will never give up any power.

The fall in her rating has been dramatic since January

Hmmm. She started campaigning in January.

I wonder if there's a connection...

Perhaps this explains her floating Billy Jeff’s name out there as a “world ambassador”.
