Caution: It's an online poll. Hillary Reaches Fifty By podcasts@redstate.com (Redstate Network) on 2008 The Harris Poll harrisinteractive.com finds 50 percent of U.S. adults would not vote for Hillary if she is the Democratic candidate for President. Even 21 percent of Democrats would not vote for her. The New York Senator fares little better with independents - 48 percent say they would not vote for her, while 37 percent say they would. Dislike of Hillary is personal. Those over 62 are more likely to dislike Hillary. Over half (54%) dislike her track record as a U.S. Senator and 60 percent feel the same about her track record as First Lady. Sixty-five percent of this group say they dislike Hillary's personal opinions and 61 percent dislike her as a person. More than half, 52 percent of respondents agree that Hillary does not appear to connect with people on a personal level, and this number is even higher among married women (53%), men (56%), those over 62 (68%), and Republicans (73%). Things that happened during the Clinton presidency still hurt the Senator: A plurality (45%) agrees that it is difficult to trust her because of Whitewater and other scandals in the Clinton White House, while 42 percent disagree. Similar numbers (44%) agree that her handling of health care in the White House raises questions about her ability and 34 percent disagree. I'm sure there are many reasons not to put too much stock in these findings, but the last time I saw a Rasmussen Reports "Hillary Meter" only 39 percent said they would definitely vote against Senator Clinton if she is on the Presidential ballot in 2008. I'm also sure it's not wise of me to compare two different online polls from two different companies. Nevertheless, it does seem like quite an achievement when half of voting-age Americans say they are unwilling to vote for the current Democratic front runner. redstate.com
