Will you join the Majority or remain the minority?

Question

“If the election were held today, Hillary Clinton would win (Ohio),” he said. “Those who say (she) can't win the White House because she can't win a key swing state like Ohio might rethink their assumption.”
The survey by the Connecticut college shows her narrowly topping the two leading GOP contenders: former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani by 3 points and Arizona Sen. John McCain by 4 points.
The Clinton campaign immediately touted the poll results in a news release.
“If Hillary leads in Ohio at this point in the race-- the key state that gave the last election to the Republicans-- then this confirms that Hillary can win and is today winning,” said Clinton chief strategist and pollster Mark Penn. “She is the strongest Democrat in what was the most difficult state.”
Among Buckeye State Republicans, it's Giuliani 30, McCain 22, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich 11 and Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney 4. (The margin of error for the Republicans is 4.6 points.)
The entire telephone poll of 1,305 Ohio voters Jan. 23 through Friday has an error margin of 2.7 percentage points.
The survey contained continuing bad news for President Bush. Only 34 percent support his plan for a surge of nearly 22,000 troops to Iraq. Just 31 percent approve how Bush is handling Iraq, and 37 now say going to war with Iraq was the right thing to do. Only 27 percent say the country is headed in the right direction.
Overall, the president's job approval rating remains at 34 percent, the same as in December.
Despite Clinton's lead, the poll underscores how she polarizes voters.
She is viewed favorably by 49 percent but unfavorably by 38 percent. Only 10 percent haven't formed an opinion.

Lareddawg, Kerry did win Ohio, don't you read any? Ohio was awarded to GW Bush by the bias supreme court, That court also ruled against States Rights.

Nick9399, you miss the point, this is a Republican State, has been for 16 years. Plus 2.5 points is a landslide victory for any Democrat. We have the first Democrat in the Governors office in 16 years also. We also got rid of Mike DeWine who was a failure just like GW Bush.

Answer 1

We are growing in numbers and soon shall rise up and take america back for we the people.

Answer 2

I respectfully point out that neither you nor Hillary has a majority right now. Here are the numbers from the Quinnipiac survey (from realclearpolitics.com)

General Election
Clinton 46%
Giuliani 43%

Clinton 46%
McCain 42%

A majority is something more than 50%. Bill Clinton was not elected either time by a majority of voters in the popular vote (how quickly we forget). Hillary is not polling with a majority of voters now. Be careful with your definitions! Hillary has an advantage, but not a majority.

Answer 3

The polls taken today have little or nothing to do with the outcome of the next presidential election. Much can happen in the next 18 months. Although a strong contender and very intelligent, Hillary plays politics to the letter and this ultimately will be her undoing. I predict that Hillary will run out of steam and will not get the Democratic nomination.

Answer 4

I'm going to stick with the minority on this one. Since she is only leading by 3 points (point curves are 3 either way)and Giuliani and McCain both can't run for president under the same ticket; once one of them drops out or goes for VP they will be ahead of Clinto by at least 30 points.

Answer 5

I have found as of late, in the U.S., the majority can sometimes be a bit on the slow side... but it looks like the country is starting to figure things out.

Answer 6

Polls said Kerry would win too! Why don't you bet the house...

Answer 7

All politicians, good, bad, and awful, are elected by a 'majority'.
