Bush Edges Clinton, Tops All Comers In New York, But Most Voters Say She Should Stay In The Senate
Quinnipiac ^ | 4/24/03

Posted on 04/24/2003 6:23:54 AM PDT by areafiftyone

If New York Sen. Hillary Clinton challenged President George W. Bush in 2004, the not-so-native daughter would be on the short side of a 47 -- 44 percent split among New York voters, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

Sen. Clinton has a 52 -- 36 percent approval rating and New York voters say 59 -- 37 percent that she should not run for President next year.

President Bush has a 58 -- 37 percent approval in New York, up from 50 -- 44 percent in a February 12 poll by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University.

"That a president fresh off a wartime win would poll higher than most wannabes isn't surprising. What will surprise many is that President Bush does so well against Sen. Clinton," said Maurice Carroll director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

"In 2000, Bush was so far behind in New York, he didn't even bother to campaign here.

"Meanwhile, New Yorkers want Hillary to stay home. They'd rather have her call Chappaqua home than to try going back to Pennsylvania Avenue."

Bush is ahead of other leaders in the Democratic Presidential pack:

As a result of the war in Iraq, 31 percent of New York State voters say they are more likely to vote for Bush for reelection, with 28 percent saying they are less likely and 38 percent saying their position hasn't changed.

New York's senior Senator, Charles Schumer, has a 59 -- 22 percent approval rating, including 54 -- 31 percent among Republicans.

From April 15 - 21, Quinnipiac University surveyed 885 New York State registered voters, with a margin of error of +/- 3.3 percent.

The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public opinion surveys in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and nationwide as a public service and for research.

If you look back in History, New York was AGAINST the colonies becoming a separate nation from England! So, nothing surprises me about New Yorkers!

New York Republicans that APPROVE of Schumer may as well be DEMONCRATS.

It's a wonderful place to live if you separate politics from the beauty of it all. Two of my kids live here and I belong to a great church, so I'm staying. Mxxx

The Conservative Party generally endorses the Republican candidate for president.

That's why I don't believe they ever voted for Bush in the first place, the great majority of 'em. Their attitude is far, far too "C3PO" (Conservative Third Party Oddball) for them to have voted for "the Shrub" in 2000, with the prevailing attitude they showed here in the run-up to election.

Interesting premonition.
