I can't say that I'm surprised.

I think Hillary will probably suffer from people purposely voting against her.
On the other hand, I don't fully trust these numbers since the question didn't ask who she was running against. I'm sure if people saw Hillary running against Hitler they'd change their mind.

Im Saying YES to Hillary and No to...

I heard that on Rush. And too me (and maybe I am missing something here) but if 50% would vote no doesnt that mean 50% could vote yes? And if that is the case isn't 50% a pretty respectable number? Unless the 50% was people who would vote for her if hell was freezing over.

I find the purpose of this thread odd. Are you trying to to warn democrats so that they will have a better chance in the general election. If you think she would lose then I would expect you to be pulling for her.

Vote Republican. We Are Freedom Loving People Who Eat Steak!

Freedom loving? Here in Kentucky it is republicans that keep alcohol restrictions such as sales on Sundays and dry counties in place. It is republicans that talked the most about adding cable television to FCC regulation. It is the mostly republican Christian right that was up in arms about a nipple showing during the super bowl. I personally know more republicans in favor of the war on drugs than democrats. It is the republicans that oppose abortion. Maybe republicans are the freedom lovers when it comes to money but not when it comes to personal freedom. I'll give them fire arms but that's about as far as it goes.

Rudy enacted the toughest anti-gun laws in any state, He even went to some of the other states and tried to get them to change thier laws to match his,And so far he's the lead GOP canadate

Aside from opposing abortion, because I don't view that as a restriction of freedom, I agree with you.

Neither party is a champion for personal freedom.

I think the answer is pretty simple. Republicans stand for oppression. It's one of the only constants in their actions

I think making Hillary Clinton President would be a dangerous mistake for Americans to make. I am not that keen on any of the Democrats that are running, but I would take any of them over Hillary. Whether she loses the nomination or the general election, the important thing is that she loses.

Of course Hillary would be a dangerous choice. But more dangerous than that time Bush was elected? I doubt it. Hillary would have to declare war on the European Union to be more dangerous than Bush.

No Democrat running for president could possibly do worse than Bush. This has been one of the worst presidency's ever.

Hillary would do a good job. The Clinton "brand" is respected around the world. They didn't fix everything, they made mistakes, but we can't expect any civil servant not to make decisions that are unfavorable from time to time. But the Clinton brand means you get negotiators and brains, and the Bush brand means you get wars and braun and hubris.

What's misleading about any of these polls is that this will be another close presidential election, no matter who the candidates on either side are. It's going to probably be within a 3 or 4 point spread again, so it's going to come down to which side can get their base out. For Hillary or Obama, they might make history next year because their respective demographics, women and blacks, when put together, would form the new base for either candidate.

Not bad, she's getting 36% of the vote and theres a year and a half until the election to convince 14% to switch over. That's really very doable, she has a huge campaign fund to do it with.

And the other half of the equation isn't in place yet.
The election wouldn't be between Clinton and someone else, it will be between Clinton and X, and when you fill in a name for X, Clinton's numbers improve.

Doesn't really mean anything. Three of the last four presidential elections have been won with less than 50% of the vote.
