More than half of Americans won't vote for Clinton, poll shows
Survey provides a snapshot of the senator's challenges as she seeks
the Democratic nomination for president

MCCLATCHY WASHINGTON BUREAU

WASHINGTON -- More than half of Americans say they wouldn't consider
voting for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton for president if she becomes
the Democratic nominee, according to a new national poll made
available to McClatchy Newspapers and NBC News.
The poll by Mason-Dixon Polling and Research found that 52 percent of
Americans wouldn't consider voting for Clinton, D-N.Y. Former
Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a Republican, was second in the can't-
stand-'em category, with 46 percent saying they wouldn't consider
voting for him.
Clinton has long been considered a politically polarizing figure who
would be a tough sell to some voters, especially many men, but also
Clinton-haters of both genders.
Thursday's survey provides a snapshot of the challenges she faces,
according to Larry Harris, a Mason-Dixon principal.
"Hillary's carrying a lot of baggage," he said. "She's the only one
that has a majority who say they can't vote for her."
Clinton rang up high negatives across the board, with 60 percent of
independents, 56 percent of men, 47 percent of women and 88 percent of
Republicans saying they wouldn't consider voting for her.
Romney struggled most with women: 50.9 percent said they wouldn't
consider voting for him.
"It's the flip-flop of Hillary," Harris said of Romney. "One could
suppose it's the Mormon issue -- we didn't ask follow-up questions --
but his religion is an issue."
On name recognition, Clinton also led the 2008 presidential pack in
voter disapproval, with 42 percent saying they recognized her name and
were unfavorable toward her, versus 39 percent favorable.
That gave her a double-digit lead in that bad-news category over
Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona and former North Carolina Sen.
John Edwards, a Democrat. They each had 28 percent unfavorable
recognition.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani had the highest favorable
recognition at 43 percent, with Clinton close behind at 39 percent.
Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was third at 36 percent, followed by McCain
at 33 percent and Edwards at 32 percent.
McCain rang up the highest favorable rating among independent voters
with 39.4 percent, followed by Giuliani with 37.3 percent. Edwards
scored well with independents, too, with 31.1 percent favorable; Obama
had 28 percent favorable.
The Mason-Dixon survey was conducted June 23-25 with 625 likely
general-election voters. It has an error margin of plus or minus 4
percentage points.

This will not be an issue for Hillary. Recall that Bill got two terms
in the Whitehouse and never had even fifty percent of the popular
vote. IIRC, Bill received 43% / 47% in his two runs for the
Whitehouse. Thanks to Perot who took on the role of spoiler.
I believe that the Clintons are hoping for the same break in 2008; a
3rd party candidate who will pull in enough moderate and moderate-
right voters to allow Hillary a walk into the Whitehouse.

but zero chance to win the general election. The only possible 3rd
party candidate of importance would be current New York City mayor
Michael Bloomberg, who will take away Democratic votes, not Republican
votes. Bloomberg is a liberal. He was registered as a Republican for
a time only to get a chance to run for mayor. It was a technical
scam. He was and is effectively a Democrat.
If Democrats are stupid enough to nominate Hillary Clinton, they will
only assure that Fred Thomspon will be the next president. A vote for
Hillary is a vote to put a Republican in the White House in 08.

percentage of Republicans will vote for Hillary Clinton. No polling
service shows any significant Republican votes for HC.
To win the general election, a Democratic candidate must win the
majority of registered Democrat votes, plus the majority of
Independent votes. Polls show that very few Independents will vote
for Hillary and only about half of Democrats will vote for her.
Millions and millions of Democrats will vote Republican if she gains
the nomination.
Fred Thompson is a formidable candidate. If Democrats want to win in
08, they had better nominate Obama, Edwards, or Gore.
Hillary Clinton = doom for Democrats. She knows that, but as always,
she puts her own ego ahead of the welfare of her own country. Hillary
is a sell-out politician, a whore who will do anything to gain power.
She has a long history of lying and she has many faces, not just one.
The majority of Americans see through her and don't like her and will
NEVER vote for her.
Hillary Clinton = suicide for Democrats!
