DU this Cincinnati poll about Bill Clinton

[VolcanoJen]

Bill Clinton visited Cincinnati yesterday to raise funds for John Cranley, who is running one helluva promising campaign in the Ohio 1st against incumbent Republican Steve "Comb-over" Chabot.

The original article about the visit is here:

http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061025/NEWS01/610250372/1077/COL02

In the article, the reporter makes the assumption that despite Clinton's overwhelming and enduring popularity, Cincinnatians are probably "split right down the middle" on whether they "could live without him." :eyes:

To make sure, I suppose, they posted a poll about Clinton's visit that has some wildly unrealistic results so far (68% think Bush is a better president!). Head on over, if you want to DU the poll. :-)

1. Sure. Anything for my beloved Clinton.

But it's being freeped.

[Alamom]

5. Done & Catgirl is right.....

[Marnieworld]

2. well Ohio votes aren't counted anyway

so all of those people saying Bush is better are irrelevant.

[lisa58]

3. How red is this district?

[VolcanoJen]

6. One of the most conservative CD's in the country.

I'd say the Ohio 1st is the second most conservative district in Ohio. Mean Jean Schmidt's district, the Ohio 2nd, is easily the most conservative CD in the state.

That makes it all the more impressive that John Cranley and Dr. Victoria Wulsin, respectively, are making one amazing challenge to both Republican candidates in these two redder-than-red Ohio districts!

[lisa58]

14. I ask because I am amazed by the numbers...

...Salt Lake City, UT might actually have better numbers with the same poll.

[TNOE]

4. Freaking Ohio Freepers

This one needs help.

[Kukesa]

7. Done. This poll needs a lot of DU help! nt

[unpossibles]

8. ah... Cincinnati

I moved here two years ago and am shocked every day that there are still Bush stickers on people's cars down here. Do these people not pay attention, or do they seriously support a murderous torturing asshole? I will say this though: the last few months, I have seen a lot fewer of the "W" stickers than I used to.

[VolcanoJen]

10. Have you seen any Chabot or Schmidt signs? Or Ken Blackwell?

Cincinnati is changing... just like the rest of the country.

Sorry you haven't had a positive experience here. You should check out "Drinking Liberally in Cincinnati" on Tuesday nights to meet some fun, like-minded folks in the 'Nati!!

[unpossibles]

18. yes, I agree. And honestly my neighborhood is no problem

as it's pretty artsy and lower to middle income, and quite Left (Northside). I do think there are a lot of great people here too, and I moved here knowing it was conservative - I just figured it needs more folks like us!

:)

I will check out that drinking group though!

[VolcanoJen]

24. Northside is a great neighborhood!

You definitely picked a good one for libs and progressives. :-)

[unpossibles]

28. yeah, I love it! We moved from Columbus and had friends in the

area, so we were able to do some research first about where to live. If you ever go to the Comet, perhaps see you there.

:)

[NavyDavy]

15. I was born and raised in Cincy and it still surprises me

that anyone would vote repukes into office....I mean Cincy does have a lot of N Kentuckians so they probably are the ones pushing the repuke numbers up.....JK any N KY DU's

[Rosemary2205]

26. Yep, Metro Cincy is as red as it gets.

they make those folks in Utah look like lefties.

[Kukesa]

43. And there are a lot fewer in Dayton, too. nt

[Greyhound]

9. Done.

Are the people of Cincinnati really this stupid? I've only been there a couple of times, very briefly, so I'm curious. :shrug:

[NavyDavy]

16. Personal attacks are not nice! I am only half stupid on my Dads side

[Greyhound]

39. LOL!

I know that 60 million live somewhere, though I had identified a nest. :rofl:

[unpossibles]

20. no - but a lot of them (in other neighborhoods) are quite rich

which tilts the districts a lot, I'm sure.

[maxsolomon]

34. yes they are this stupid

i can say that as i was born & raised there. left finally at 28, thank christ. this poll is likely what my hometown district really thinks. my mom & dad HATE bill & hillary - this is one seriously uptight, white, german/irish catholic district. adultery is the worst crime in the world, and it sticks to the victim, too.

advance apologies to those who haven't got out, my brother among them; the best & brightest of the cincinnati's youth always leave rather than waste their one life in that humid, brown, stifling, self-satisfied, bigoted, xenophobic, willfully ignorant cultural desert.

the newspapers are a joke, the radio stations are rabidly right wing partisan, the white flight is as bad there as anywhere in the country, the downtown is slowly dying, the drinking water is mixed with pittsburg's effluent, the architectural heritage is being steadily torn down, & there are WAY too many freaking cops.

3 positives:
1. jerry springer was once mayor
2. cincy chili is very good, however, i can make that myself.
3. WAIF

[Greyhound]

38. Wow! I have the strongest feeling of deja vu...

..."that humid, brown, stifling, self-satisfied, bigoted, xenophobic, willfully ignorant cultural desert". Substitute unbelievably hot for humid and you're describing Phoenix. There is no earthly reason for so many shades of beige.

You got Jerry Springer, we got Evan Mecham.

[Laf.La.Dem.]

Done - this poll does not look good;(

Needs lots of help.

[RufusEarl]

13. Done, this one needs more DU love folks!

[PuppyBismark]

17. Wouldn't expect more from that part of Ohio N/T

[bigwillq]

42. Hi!

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[Sherman A1]

19. Done

[mod mom]

21. Is this poll being blackwelled?

[biscotti]

22. Done ......Boy I feel sorry for Dem's

in Cincinnati must be a lot of freepers there.

[VolcanoJen]

23. Thanks for tryin' everyone... kick!

:dem:

[Maine-ah]

25. um, those results are rather painful.

ouch. needs help!

[theHandpuppet]

27. Wow -- this vote is being freeped!!!

As a UC Alum who knows just how neofascist Cincy can be, even I can see this poll is being freeped! We need to get on the stick, DU!

BTW, thanks for the heads up, VolcanoJen. I read that article earlier today and missed seeing the poll.

[spanone]

29. Cincinati is an ultra-conservative town. No offense Buckeyes.

[Greybnk48]

30. still being freeped.

[maxsolomon]

31. i grew up in this district & fled in terror.

and steve chabot is as big a douche as they come.

my bush-loving parents say Cranley has no chance.

[Spazito]

32. This is one of those polls where you can vote multiple times...

and that's why the freepers are ahead. If you click off the site and the click on again, you can vote again, I don't do it but the freepers LOVE these kind of polls and spend an inordinate amount of time freeping them.

[DaveJ]

33. There must be an auto voting hack

Every time I press refresh the Repuke count goes up by one. Too consistent to be real.

[Innocent Smith]

35. Bush is over 70%

I voted there, but Bush is way ahead.

[chaumont58]

36. Results like this is a good reason why it is never too smart

to believe in the American voter. I got hooked in 2004 into believing that the American voter were 'too good' and 'too smart' to vote for chimpie. I went into a funk over the 2004 election, and it could happen again.
Seventy percent think chimipie is a better president that Clinton?!? God damn.

[in_cog_ni_to]

37. it's been Freeped...BIG TIME.

Thank you for voting.
Who did a better job as president?
Bill Clinton 1378 (29.46%)

President Clinton campaigning for congressional candidate John Cranley will:
Make me more likely to vote for Cranley 767 (16.40%)
Make me less likely to vote for Cranley 3092 (66.10%)
Won't matter 819 (17.51%)
