First Lady's rating slides By Philip Delves Broughton in New York related articles The First Lady of the United States - The White House First Lady meets the NY press [20 Apr '99] - Washington Post First Lady meets Godzilla - Village Voce RunHillary.com HillaryNo.com Hillary Clinton - All About Centre Office of the Mayor Rudolph Giuliani - NYC Link THE voters of New York seem to be going cool on the idea of electing Hillary Clinton as one of their senators. A poll released earlier this week showed that 52 per cent of New Yorkers now think Mrs Clinton should not run for the Senate, against 42 per cent who think she should. Polls taken in January, when the idea of her candidacy was first mooted, pointed to a landslide victory over Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, the likely Republican candidate. This week's poll has Mrs Clinton and the Mayor almost neck and neck. Asked yesterday why she wanted to run for office in a state she had never lived in, Mrs Clinton said: "I love New York to start with. We have everything in New York that we have in America ... I have always been very excited by the dynamism of the people here and the real cutting-edge approach." The drop in her popularity, however, suggests that accusations of carpet-bagging, that she is using New York as no more than a stage for her wider political ambitions, and her husband's sagging approval ratings are starting to hurt. She remains most popular in the liberal stronghold of New York City, and least popular in the rural areas of upstate New York. This week is likely to be crucial in Mrs Clinton's final decision on whether to run. Friends have suggested that her early enthusiasm has been tempered by warnings of the likely mud-slinging of a campaign and the logistical difficulty of running for office while still living in the White House. At a lunch for succesful women in the media on Monday, however, speakers including Meryl Streep, jokingly thanked the First Lady for taking time off from flat-hunting to join them. Harold Ickes, the former White House deputy chief of staff and the likeliest manager of Mrs Clinton's campaign if she decides to run, said her meetings this week should give her a better feel for what a Senate campaign would entail. He said: "There will be more press, more people talking to her and so I think she'll come away with a much better feel about the intensity of the situation." Mrs Clinton will not be restricting herself to New York city on this trip. Yesterday, she ventured out to Long Island for a speech and tomorrow she will go up to Niagara Falls, the northernmost point in New York state, to make a speech to the politically powerful New York State United Teachers Union. In between, she will be hosting fund raising events for politicians who supported her husband through the year of impeachment. No formal announcement on her candidacy is expected until June or July. If she decides not to run, however, she is expected to take up an international role at the head of a major charity or with the United Nations. Her planned trip to Albania and Macedonia to meet refugees driven out of Kosovo by Serbian forces and to assess the humanitarian crisis should help her to decide if that is the route she would prefer.
