Clinton's Electability, or lack there of. Poll data

A major issue for the current primary elections is electability. Many Democratic voters are casting their lot with the candidate who they believe has the best chance at defeating the Republicans in the upcoming presidential election. The biggest controversies over electability have surrounded both Obama and Clinton's candidacies. A recent poll by CNN/WMUR gave Obama a

Furthermore another CNN/WMUR polls gives Obama a 13 point lead over Clinton in the New Hampshire Primary. [Ibid]

A Gallop poll devoted to Clinton's electability recently came out and these were the results:



Hillary Clinton's campaign has gone on the offensive against the Obama campaign several times, calling his record into question and calling him "a talker" and saying that he lacked experience, among other remarks. Source

But according to recent poll data taken from a televised debate between Democratic candidates shows that negative comments, or perceived negative comments, losses rather than gains her favor.



Who will win the Democratic nomination, and the presidency for that matter, remains to be seen, but things don't look promising for the Clinton campaign.

Hillary cried!!! Ha Ha!! Nobody wants a crybaby President!

She did kind of hurt her campaign with that. I don't personally care if a candidate cries, but among the male demographic crying = weakness. Especially for a woman who is taken less seriously because of her gender.

Nobody I know in Britishland believes America will elect a black person. Very few people think Clinton is electable either.

Perhaps that's just the people I know, though.

It's just the people you know. Alot of what you all get and think overseas is exaggerated. Were not all nutcases.

Now if you will excuse me I have several guns I need to clean in case a war or revolution breaks out.

I ask them who they think will be elected, and they're all "RON PAUL! RON PAUL!".

Apart from the ones who say "Elected?".

thereof is one word, not two.

And it's Gallup Poll, not "Gallop Poll".

Good to know.

Didn't Edmund Muskie also "tear up" in New Hampshire?

What's that pollsters? You don't know everything? Good, I'm glad we got that settled.

Yeah, and when she doesn't cry, she's considered to be a heartless bitch, which also isn't considered a good quality. Of course, if you're a heartless asshole and are a male, the public is pretty cool with that.

I think this is one of Clinton's biggest problems when it comes it electability.

Right now though, it's kind of backlashing since there's been so much venom thrown her way, people are starting to want to take the other side.

While pollsters don't know everything, I submit that they lack omnipotence, there are a lot of statistics, and a lot of personal experience on my part, which say that people will come out just to vote AGAINST Clinton in 08'. To many people, she's really not popular. Then again, people will come out against Obama because he's black, muslim and his name can be bastardized to Iraq Hussein Osama. I just seriously doubt Clinton will win the election against a Republican male. This isn't sexism, I just think too many people hate Clinton for valid reasons and, on the other side, the south wouldn't vote for her just out of sexist ignorance.
