NEW YORK, Oct 05, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Hillary Clinton would beat Sarah Palin head-to-head by a 2-to-1 margin if the 2012 presidential election were held today, according to women voters.

A national telephone survey of 600 registered women voters was conducted by Blum & Weprin from September 25 through October 3, 2008. The poll, commissioned by SheZoom.com, a new women's internet media company, is titled 'Palin vs. Clinton - You Decide.' The survey (with a margin of error of +/- 4 percentage points) queried women in all 50 states on their personal and political preferences pertaining to the two female party leaders.

The poll asks questions relating to presidential responsibilities, as well as personality and "values" questions important to female voters. For all areas, the survey shows Clinton with broad-based support, including the "values" questions, such as "Whom do you trust?"; "Who's a better role model?"; and "Who's been a better mother?" On all these issues, Clinton wins by at least 10 points. [NB: The poll's results did not shift in any significant way following Thursday's vice presidential debate.]

My guess is she may not even get the nod in 2012.

I'm in complete agreement. If she couldn't take out little Barry, who's to say she's competent enough to take on the next challenge? She got KO'd by a noob. Pure and simple.

The bigger problem with Hillary, sorry PUMAs, is that people just don't like her outside of her core supporters. There's way too much history here. If she ran, all she'd do is energize the opposition while still not drawing enough democrats to carry her through to win nomination.

I agree with you. Too much baggage...

Any allegiance by women for Hillary is amazing to me. She is an overly-angry, power-seeking woman who should have rightfully used some of her ruffled feathers to throw Bill out of the nest and not cover for him when he abused women who weren’t willing to sleep with him. Women who would have voted for her just because of her gender have the same lack of integrity as she and Bill, I think.

I didn’t know Hillary was running! Wow.

[ViLaLuz]

What a big fat whopping lie!

[Beowulf9]

I should’ve added <sarc to my ‘new york’ not wanting to be inacurate, the voters were ‘supposedly’ taken from around the 50 states.

I think this is baloney.

Either something’s wrong with this survey or something’s wrong with 2/3’s of our women.

I campaigned for Hillary and I want my money back. She is a phony and I should have never trusted her. I will vote for Sarah any day of the week over Hillary! This is a complete turn around for me because I used to idolize Hillary!

You could probably provide some insight into how people (Democrats) are so (easily) bamboozled by the likes of the Clintonistas and OhBAM America.

Rip their masks off and their power-hungry tyrants just waiting to take your money and your freedom. How can people not see this?
