Half Of Likely Voters Would “Never” Vote For Hillary

Yikes...

Bad news for New York’s junior senator.

While Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) has won broad support in national tracking polls in her quest for the presidency, the former first lady is steeped in negative attitudes, according to a Zogby International poll released Sunday.

Half of likely voters nationwide said they would never vote for New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, in a poll Zogby conducted Oct. 11-15, 2007, with a margin of error of +/– 1.0 percentage point.

It gets worse.  This latest poll indicates an increase in the number of people who say they won’t vote for her, and among older age demographics (who vote in much higher numbers than younger demographics) she’s even more disliked.

“This is up from 46% who said they could never vote for Clinton in a Zogby International telephone survey conducted in early March,” the poll asserts. “Older voters are most resistant to Clinton – 59% of those age 65 and older said they would never vote for the New York senator, but she is much more acceptable to younger voters: 42% of those age 18–29 said they would never vote for Clinton for President.”

Believe it or not, it gets even worse than that.  Clinton actually beat Dennis Kucinich on the “who I’d never vote for” list.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich and former Sen. Mike Gravel rank second and third on the “who I’d never vote” for list, respectively.

Here’s the entire list including both Democrats and Republicans:

That list is just plain ugly for Democrats.  The top three on the list are all Democrats, including the Dem front-runner, and a GOP front-runner doesn’t even make an appearance until Giuliani in 9th place.

Ron Paul at #4 is pretty impressive. This is how this election is going to go, not who people want but who people do not want. That is sad.

Huckabee at #16 - I wonder why Brownback is so high?

2Hotel9: I doubt it, If I were to bet who will be our next president right now it would be Thompson.

Many of the I wouldn’t vote for’ers probably will not end up voting at all. Deciding how you wanna die is never easy smile

With one percent between ‘em, it’s still within the margin of error!

Depending on the m.o.e., Hillary could be as close as 1% away from Ron Paul! Them’s negatives for you, sports fans!

In my personal opinion: There is a lot of wishful thinking and trusting in polls going on here and that’s not smart!

The Hildabeast is not stupid, she and Billy Jeff know how to win elections. They are experts at triangulation of every issue and they spin faster and longer and better than professional Square Dancers. They are cold-hearted, power hungry and absolutely self centered and they have no core values, everything they do is designed to gain and keep power. Please do not underestimate them!

Parenthetical note: If the Hildbeast get elected and can hold two terms, that would mean that for nearly three decades this country will have be run by two political families!

Other wishful thinking involves Thompson. Yes he has a good conservative record; but he has not yet demonstrated the necessary fire in the belly, organizing and the speaking abilities to give anyone any confidence in his ability to go all the way. Maybe he is laying low and will emerge with renewed energy and be better able to deliver his lines; but until then, I am sorry to say he is not filling me with any confidence.

Ron Paul never stood a chance because both the Left and Right cannot embrace his extremist views, and his statement that he would not support a Republican candidate that did not promise a swift pull-out of Iraq indicates he is not in touch with reality.

No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

We of the Democrats Against Hillary would have to agree.  Watch this video and make up your own mind- gets entertaining around the 15-second mark:

“Hillary Knew” video on youtube

If anyone in the world had the information and experience to see the truth about Iraq, it was Hillary Clinton. But she favored her electability over her integrity and traded votes for death. HILLARY KNEW.

Rob: you write “That list is just plain ugly for Democrats.”

You’re wrong.  The top of the list shows the candidates who are least likely to be voted for.  Thus the bottom can be taken to be those candidates most likely to be voted for.

FOUR of the five people at the bottom of the list are Democrats.  That’s pretty damn good.

Every top-tier GOP candidate is in the 40s.  Hillary’s at 50.  What’s the huge difference?

I understand you guys gotta stump, but Guliani is ahead. By a lot. That is a shitload uglier than this list. All the guy did was get in some photos with the pres after 911. What, did he play the terminator too? What the eff do you Republicans REALLY VALUE, eh? I mean besides homo encounters in public bathrooms? Gulianis lead might indicate that we are finally moving into a baby killing phase like no other before it!

Also, Phil Morris, I agree with hotel. Your logic is piss poor there buddy. Polls about who one would never vote for cannot be turned around like that. Otherwise Biden, Obama, Huckybee, and Dickson would all be winning, no?

Yun Chu said, “You must strictly not express in words what is very significant. Both dragon and snake are killed in one blow.”

The bad news is that large numbers of people who will never vote for Hillary will not vote for a Republican abortionist either.  If Guey gets the nod, that puts Hillary in play.
