Poll question: Hillary Supporters: Are you more or less impressed with her job as Chief Diplomat?
Me? She's impressing me more than Obama is - and I voted for him, not her!

2. Hillary has always impressed me
no matter what she is working on. From Watergate right on up to SOS.

14. Hillary never impressed me at all until her current stint as Secretary of State
But I also think that this job has given her something she lacked and now she is ready for the Presidency should she chose to persue it.

16. I think she was more then ready to be president even before this job. She may not have won
the election, but most candidates who run don't win--that doesn't mean that they are seen as "not ready." Also, the exit polls from the primaries indicate that the voters (fairly or not) saw her as most prepared, but Obama had other things going for him. The half of the party that voted for Clinton obviously thought she was ready, and among those who voted against her you have to assume that many of them just liked Obama more, but didn't necessarily regard Hillary as lacking the readiness.

3. Doing very well...so far matching my expectations...if she negotiates some
breakthrough later, that would match my expectations also...too early for it since she has to demonstrate to our allies/enemies/standers-by that she not brain dead like her predecessor, nor is our new prez, like his predecessor.

4. Hillary's job is a lot easier than Obama's.
I think they are both doing very well.

5. She has one focus/Pres. Obama has about 30
You may have ruined your poll with that ridiculous comparison!

7. No, because my expectations are much higher for Obama
The fact that Clinton, who has a great deal of National Experience, but very little International Experience - hit the ground running and has already done more to improve our National image, stood up to NK, etc....

9. I Didn't Support Hillary In The Primaries ..........
I am now totally impressed with her performance as SOS. We're lucky as a party to have two such sterling individuals like Barack and Hillary in our party. I do see Obama getting a second term and I see Hillary following up as the first woman president in 2016.

11. She's kicking ass & taking names
now if she could just go break arms in the passport offices & tell them to actually READ the documents they receive instead of telling folks to send in something they've already sent twice.....

12. It's kind of a thankless job, & I haven't paid all that much attention to it
but she seems to be enjoying herself and doing just fine:) i don;t think she wanted to go back to the senate, and this is kind of dream job for someone who likes to travel:)

15. She's tough, but fair. Strong, but empathetic.
From what I have heard, she's one of the best bosses to have. Completely fair and doesn't go off on ego trips like other pols.
