What do the Huffington Post's readers think of Elizabeth Warren?

I caught a screen-cap of this poll that I thought was remarkable. Their readers give Elizabeth Warren an 89% favorable rating.



The numbers may change, as this poll is ongoing. The relevant article is here.

And what do they think about Hillary Clinton's ties to the finance industry and Wall Street? See below:



Informed liberals know the score. We're asking for a liberal candidate for President in 2016.

Help encourage Elizabeth Warren to run for President in 2016 by phoning her, writing to her, or e-mailing her as follows:

The Honorable Elizabeth Warren
317 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
Phone: (202) 224-4543

E-mail her here.

And y'all can help prevent carpal tunnel by not bothering to tell me that she isn't running.
I am urging Ms. warren to reconsider.

Honestly, I think Hillary Clinton could and would stand up to Wall Street under the right circumstances, and I said so here.

However, I think our chances for some economic justice are better with Elizabeth Warren.

Thanks for the response.

but it would be stupid for her to run in 2016 AFTER being one of the people publicly asking Clinton to run. In addition, what people seem to forget is that even if she were to win, she would need more fellow progressives in Congress in order to be an effective president. A President can't really do much on their own without help in Congress except veto bills that they pass and appoint SC justices. It is why Obama hasn't gotten as much accomplished as we all had hoped.

Why would it be stupid for her to run for President in 2016 against Hillary (presuming Hillary does, in fact, run)? Is she not allowed to change her mind? Did she promise Hillary that she would not run against her? Or is it that she would be stupid to make an enemy of Hillary?
