Bad news for Hillary
Could the Hillary Clinton for President campaign be over before it officially begins?
According to a Marist College poll, less than half of the Democrats polled would "definitely consider" voting for Hillary for President. More disturbing for Ms. Clinton is the fact that only 22 percent of independents would definitely consider voting for her. 45 percent of independents would "definitely not consider" voting for her.
In head-to-head match-ups with the Republican frontrunners, we see why a lot of Democrats are concerned about Hillary Clinton winning the Democratic nomination:
Rudy Giuliani: 49 percent, Hillary: 43 percent
John McCain: 49 percent, Hillary: 43 percent
The Marist poll also asked likely GOP voters whom they favored for the nomination. The results were:
Giuliani: 24 percent
McCain: 23
Rice: 15
Gingrich: 8
Romney: 4
As I pointed out a few weeks back, Rudy and McCain shouldn't start making general election plans just yet. At this point in the '04 campaign, Joe Lieberman was running away with the nomination.
