Majority Of Americans Believe Hillary Is A Good Role Model

[wyldwolf]

The latest New York Times/CBS News poll shows a broad majority of Americans — 68 percent of respondents — think Hillary Clinton is a good role model for women.

Sixty-six percent of men and 70 percent of women who responded to the poll call Mrs. Clinton a good role model for women. Single and younger women are more likely to call Mrs. Clinton a good role model than married or older women are – though majorities in all groups say so. More than six in 10 married women and more than three in four single women call her a good role model. More than seven in 10 women under age 45 say she’s a good role model; it’s six in 10 among women over age 64.

As is often the case with political figures, partisanship is a big factor. Nine in 10 Democratic women and seven in 10 independent woman call Mrs. Clinton a good role model. Just four in 10 Republican women agree.

1. The full poll gets released later today, here is the info about the poll itself

The nationwide poll was conducted Monday, July 9 through Tuesday, July 17 with 1,554 adults, including 1,068 women. Women were over sampled. The margin of sampling error for all adults, as well as for women, is plus or minus 3 percentage points. The complete poll results will be released at 6:30 p.m.

2. LOL

1,554 adults is a "majority of Americans"?

You guys are too funny.

PS-You and Elmer need to coordinate better.I think instead of posting something within one minute of receiving the order...er,I mean deciding to post...that you two should get it down to the very second.Hell,you guys just missed this time.With a little effort you two can become one!

3. LOL. Why call out SaveElmer? He isn't in this thread?

1,554 adults is a "majority of Americans"?

Reveals a fundamental lack of understanding of how polling works.

You and Elmer need to coordinate better.I think instead of posting something within one minute of receiving the order...er,I mean deciding to post

Reveals a tendency to believe conspiracy theories.

[Forkboy]

4. Because you and Elmer posted this same story within moments of one another.

Reveals a fundamental lack of understanding of how polling works.

No,it reveals that I don't buy bullshit spin by partisan hacks.

[wyldwolf]

5. ohh. So that means we received "orders" from someone. LOL!

No,it reveals that I don't buy bullshit spin by partisan hacks.

Translation: Poll results you don't like simply cannot be true

[Forkboy]

6. No,here's the proper translation;

The poll results are fine.The spin is bullshit.

7. What spin?

First line of the article.

"The latest New York Times/CBS News poll shows a broad majority of Americans — 68 percent of respondents — think Hillary Clinton is a good role model for women."

I suppose WW leaving out the word broad in the subject line could be interpreted by spin but wouldn't that be more of a negative vs positive spin?

[wyldwolf]

8. there is no spin. Forkboy is denying standard polling and sampling techniques because ...

... he doesn't like the results.

[rinsd]

10. WW, you were trying to conceal that Hillary not only has a majority but a broad majority

Just like Hillarites to smear their own candidate!

:evilgrin:

[wyldwolf]

11. well, if I had used "broad," someone would be arguing right now...

... CBS only polled broads.

[rinsd]

12. Oh that's bad.

Especially since the poll states it oversampled women!

[JTFrog]

9. The majority of

Americans are stupid. Hence the last 7 years.

[RaleighNCDUer]

13. That is a meaningless poll.

Plug just about any major public woman into that, other than Paris Hilton or Anne Coulter, and you get the same results.

Elizabeth Edwards is a good role model for women.
Elizabeth Dole is a good role model for women.
Elizabeth Shue is a good role model for women.

WTF?

What is glossed over is that 60% of Republican women disagree. There is a hard core of absolute negativism about Hillary that even something as innocuous as "good role model for women" cannot overcome.

14. Good Talking Point.
