Hillary Clinton Poll

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Hillary Clinton does not seem very popular here... My take on Hillary is Churchillian. "Hillary would be the worst possible president, except for all the Republicans."


That being said,who would you vote for in the following hypothetical 2008 presidential election?

1. ~

:banghead:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. Was It A Bad Question?

I have been here a long time and just know she is probably the most unliked Democratic leader...

[wildhorses]

7. well,

if it comes down to it...at the very last minute...oh my gawd.

at this point in time i see myself writing in gore's name.

please don't hit me.

:hide:

[emilyg]

12. Disagree with you.

[illinoisprogressive]

2. How about planning to stay home and read a book if Hillary is the nominee?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. I Always Vote And Vote Democratic

It's part of my DNA...

[emilyg]

11. Bravo. I do,too

[napi21]

5. That's equivilent to giving the Pubs a vote!

The only reason I don't want Hillary to be Prez is because I'd like to see the end to both dynasties...Bush & Clinton. I happen to think she would do a GREAT job as Prez, and she sure would outdo any of the Pubs since DDE!

If she is the nominee, I'd sure vote for her!

[StudentsMustUniteNow]

6. what's the diff. between a wolf in wolve's clothing and a wolf in sheep's clothing?

Oh they're wearing different clothing.

[Truth2Tell]

8. I'm flat out stumped.

I pass. Ask me after the primaries. :)

[saltpoint]

9. Unless Zell Miller is on the ticket, I plan on voting for whichever of

our many capable Democratic candidates is nominated in Denver.

[BlooInBloo]

10. Clinton: 92+% progressive voting record, and one completely fucked up Iraq authorization vote....

... Somehow that doesn't add up to the level of Clinton-hatred I see on DU.

13. How come three polls just released that give Hillary 30 or more points

almost 15 over the closes opponent. What poll are you talking about.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

35. because the GOP wants her to run and wants her to win the nomination.

they realize that her negatives make it almost an even race.

[last_texas_dem]

14. Hillary, not that it counts for anything

The votes from minority party members in solid red and solid blue states are essentially meaningless due to the Electoral College, and I think we have several elections before there's even a remote possibility that TX becomes a "swing" state on the Presidential level. At this point, I think we could nominate our strongest candidate to go up against their weakest, and TX would vote for whatever incompetent wingnut they throw up on the ballot, probably with a double-digit percentage point margin of victory.

15. Why try to imply

that DU'ers oppose Hillary Clinton?

Speak for yourself please.

And leave innuendo to the Rethugs.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. I Merely Asked A Question

By the way 30% oppose her enough to abandon the party if she's the nominee...

[assclown_bush]

18. 30%??? According to your unscientific poll? With just a few paltry votes???

You think that 30% of Democrats will NOT vote for her if the choice is between Rudy ("thank god bUsh is president") and she? I doubt that the number could be that high? Or are you basing your number on some REAL poll (not the once you scared up for us here).

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. Every Poll on Here Is "Unscientific"

Petiotion Skinner to remove the feature...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

25. I'D Also Add That If I Started A Poll Among Dems She Doesn't Crack Double Digits Here

I am just highlighting a phenomenon, not endorsing it...

[assclown_bush]

27. Sadly for the anti~Hillary fringe, the "phenomenon" only plays out here in DU....

out in the real world (where it matters to most everyone with the possible exception of the DU fringe), Hillary is ahead in the polls. I wonder why that is? Could the "phenomenon" be nothing more than an illusion? Wishful thinking? Or are some people's grapes, as the saying goes~~~sour?

In the latest (June 22, 2007) Newsweek poll conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International, Hillary leads with 43% of those polled followed by Obama at 27% and Edwards at 14%. Of course, I am not endorsing this poll either. Just highlighting it.

32. Those polls continue to surprise me.

I still haven't met one Democrat who favors Hillary. Of course, most of my friends are grad students and other quite liberal types, so that could explain it somewhat.

[assclown_bush]

33. How do you do?

I am a Democrat and I favor Hillary. I also have a graduate degree and am quite liberal. However, I support Hillary for president. I don't seem to know many people who don't support her candidacy...other than republicans (and it seems a good percentage of the people on this web~site). I don't find her poll numbers surprising, she is a seasoned politician and I believe that Democrats have the best chance at winning the White House with her as our nominee.

[BlooInBloo]

17. Totally - should just say it. DUers overwhelmingly hate Clinton.

[MaryBear]

21. Baloney!

Quit candidate bashing and start supporting whomever you choose.

[BlooInBloo]

22. rofl! You have no idea what you're talking about. I've consistently harangued DUers...

... about their nigh-religious Clinton-hatred.

[MaryBear]

23. I beg your pardon.

Please forgive my rude disagreement.

:sarcasm:

[DFW]

19. Count me in the undewhelming minority, then

I don't hate any of the Democratic candidates (or non-candidates!)

All the ones I can't stand are trying for the Republican nomination.

[More Than A Feeling]

20. I could vote for Hillary Clinton in the general election happily and with a clear conscience if

She swore on a stack of Bibles to do the following four things as her first four acts in office:

1. Signed a bill creating publicly financed elections
2. Signed the Employee Free Choice Act
3. Some kind of Universal health insurance
4. Began the withdrawal of troops from Iraq.

Heck, if she would do those four things first, I'd even work for her and throw a dollar or two her way, not that she needs it.

[stlsaxman]

26. i won't answer your poll but i'll vote for her if nominated. n/t

[Totally Committed]

28. If she's the nominee, none of the above...

TC

[MedleyMisty]

29. Depends on who the third party candidate is.

Nader? Certainly not. If something really weird and freaky happened and Gore ran as an independent, I'd vote for him over Clinton.

[porphyrian]

30. I reject the premise of the poll.

We aren't even at the primaries yet, and we keep talking about Senator Clinton as if she's our candidate. Clinton is who the republicants framed as our candidate over a year ago, which means they want her to get it. For that reason alone, I can't take her seriously. How about we have us some primaries and select our own candidate before we have this discussion?

[mnhtnbb]

31. Tired of voting for the lesser of two evils--but will hold my nose as I did for Kerry and vote HRC

[sanskritwarrior]

34. If this poll was scientific

it would appear Hillary would lose 1/3 of her own party..........Not so good.......

[assclown_bush]

36. We should probably email this poll to her so she can drop out of the race...

I mean with odds like these, she might as well save her time, energy and money don't you think?:eyes:

[bigwillq]

37. I would vote for HC

if I had to in the GE....I wouldn't vote for the puke and unless the Third Party Candidate was someone I actually like, then I will vote for the DEM nominee. I did it with Kerry so I could do it for HC.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

38. I'll vote for the best candidate on the ballot.

Or, not at all.

[Toasterlad]

39. I'd Vote for Hillary, Unless the Third Party Was Al Gore.

I wouldn't be happy about it, though. I don't particularly dislike her, but I don't think she has a snowball's chance of winning the election, despite whatever the polls say. The biggest favor the Democratic Party could do for the Republicans is give Clinton the nod. :(

However, it doesn't make much difference: I live in Pennsylvania, so whoever the Democratic nominee is, they'll most likely get our electoral votes. :P
