WASHINGTON (AFP) Hillary Clinton may be the Democratic Party's 2008 presidential front-runner but she also tops the list when voters are asked for whom they would never, ever cast a ballot, a poll out Monday found.
Fully 50 percent of US voters say that when it comes to Clinton, she can campaign all she likes but there is no way in the world she can win their support, with her negative rating up slightly from 46 percent in March, the Zogby poll said.
Older voters were the most hostile to the attorney and former first lady-turned US senator, who is seeking to become the first woman US president. Fifty-nine percent of those over 65 said they would never vote for Clinton, according to the survey which ranked leading Democratic and Republican hopefuls

I’m not a fan of Rudy but when I think to the future... I really can’t see Hillary meeting with world leaders, making decisions about our defense, commanding our troops, etc. It would be a complete disaster. And don’t forget, it won’t just be Hillary back in office, it will be Bill, too — this is a two-for-one deal.
Giuliani has the same views as hillary on major issues.
Giuliani creates a VIRTUAL third party with the stay home voters or just the lack of support.
[For those in rio linda who think hanity can help, remember how hanity BEGGED people to vote for Santorum...]
Giuliani allows hillary to keep her base, uses her repulsivness to her own advantage because Giuliani IS HILLARY.
No Giuliani, NO PROBLEM.
I'd make the point that her biggest supporters (single, young women) are going to vote Democrat anyway, regardless of who runs on the ticket.
SO....She has negatives in the 40s or even 50%, and she is not attracting anything new for a voter base. And Dems still think she can win?
Something not to be forgotten!
the solution is simple, do not vote for Hillary Clinton in the GOP primary.
No Giuliani, NO PROBLEM.
:-)
Oh..and “Run AL” :’)
Half the people who will vote for Hillary don’t like her either...they will just vote for her because she’s the Democrat candidate and to keep a Republican out of the White House. Why else would non-entities still be getting 50% of the vote in the polls on the Democratic side—they are people who are forlornly wishing they had a better alternative.
Don’t you think we need a receipt though. How do we really know where our vote went?
Hillary knows that in a two way race she loses.
I believe the CLintons have someone ready to run third party to help get her elected.
Is is Ron Paul or Rudy McRomney???
Oxymoron alert! :^)
People need to gat over abortion, gun control, and gay marriage as issues in Presidential races. These are constitutional issues that a president has NO control over.
I am anti-abortion, pro-gun and don’t care about gay marriage, but I am voting national defense, taxes, and cost-cuts.
The problem isn’t Hillary Clinton. She loses if the GOP nominates somebody that conservatives can trust.
I believe Rudy Guiliani being nominated will depress the GOP vote by around 15 - 25%. That makes her winning the election possible under these circumstances.
I won’t vote for Guiliani under any circumstances.
The problem is when you actually name a GOP candidate, suddenly Hillary gets to 50%. The Republicans MUST drive her negatives up another 4-5% to win.
Of course I disagree. A country is only as good as it’s leaders. Morals count. Have Faith.
This year, the libs are still running against Bush and also Rush Limbaugh. They will be so surprised when they walk into the voting booth next November and won't see either of those names as candidates.
In 2008, persons who tend to vote Repub will be naming their
poison.
Will you vote Hillary and die a slow agonzing death? Or will you
vote Repub and die quickly?

Since you support Thompson.
Tompson actually answered the hillary question.
in the very begining of the Debate Fred Thompson NAILED Giuliani by pointing out Giuliani has the identical positions as hillary on abortion, marriage, gun control.
Giuliani is HILLARY.
As a Thompson supporter it is interesting you do not seem to understand the GOP PRIMARY will actually determine the presidential race.
We need to ignore the Fruitless five, NOT vote Giuliani and
DO focus on this as a TWO man race between Thompson and Romney.
No Giuliani, NO PROBLEM.
Learn it, Live it, Love it.
(in a brotherly way not a massachusetts way)
Has any candidate ever won the Presidency with ‘negative’ numbers this high? Rush predicted that a Hillary candidacy would ‘redefine high negatives’; that man is a seer!
