Senator Hillary Clinton (D) now has the highest level of base support among the major candidates running for President. Twenty-nine percent (29%) say they would definitely vote for the former First Lady if she's on the ballot in 2008. However, Clinton is also just one point below the highest level of core opposition this month--46% say they would definitely vote against her. On that count, only Senator Joe Biden (D) scores higher (47% would definitely vote against Biden).

She is electable in the primary. Independents step into the general election and will probably shut her down. There is also the Bill Clinton factor to consider. With his popularity he may be able to pull it off for Hillary.
It is sad, just as with previous elections, that Americans settle for the least worse person to run the country. What a joke. Americans are more interested in finding the best talent to play ball games than they are in finding the best person to impact their lives for years to come.

In my opinion the answer is no. The dislike for this woman is widespread, but she faces deeper challenges than mere dislike. Hillary's problems are threefold. The first is that she is so well known and every scandal that has even come close to touching her will become front page news again if she receives the nomination. Second is the fact that when pressed she becomes very shrill. This is an unlikable quality and a definite negative for her, especially given the fact that she will be challenged often if she receives the nomination. The third is that she just cannot seem to tell a consistent story. She changes her message constantly based on the audience she is speaking with at the time. This might work when coverage is split between several candidates, but if she is the only Democratic challenger every misstep will be big news focused on her alone.

in case you seem prettier on your promenade gown than the homecoming queen, you nonetheless could get invited to the dance to qualify... And so some distance, no person's inviting Hillary to the dance. that's Hillary and the delegate math. She isn't qualified to go into the final election, and if she would have the ability to't beat Obama, there is not any way she would have the ability to triumph over McCain. Hillary had each little thing: call, money, connections, her husbands mythical marketing campaign team... and is dropping to a youthful, greater, extra obtainable candidate for a great many motives. And no. Superdelegates have not been going over to Obama in droves (2 hundred+ considering February) in basic terms because of the fact he has won extra primaries. and that they have got not been leaving Clinton (-12 considering February) thinking she has a extra powerful danger. Polls instruct Obama gets extra votes than Hillary could interior the final election. era. Superdelegates (who're profession politicians) comprehend the magnitude of electability extra powerful than the final public. yet amazingly, a truthful proportion of human beings outdoors of the political section are transforming into confident that the superdelegates don't be attentive to what they are doing. They be attentive to, they are doing it, and that's giving the democrats the terrific obtainable possibility to win in November.

I dont think she is electable.....Although Id like to see the Democrats put up a candidate that we towards the middle can vote for.....once again the frontrunner is put there by the "Base" of the party......she'll have the same fate as the last two did. The moderates will have to go the other party

Poll numbers will rise and fall for everyone. Personally, I dont believe she is electable because she has too much baggage and she is too polarizing. Too many people not only dislike her, they loathe her.
Also there are many factors. Will Nader run and take a share of Hillarys vote? Will a scandal be brought to media attention before election day?
Fred Thompson is a likable opposition to Hillary and many are backing him even before a formal announcement.
So, in short... Sure its possible but in my opinion, not likely.

One of the most frightening things I can think of is President Hillary, so I really hope she isn't electable. With that in mind, I want to see her run and really get her hopes up. I want to see the look on her face when she loses. It gives me giggle fits just thinking about it.
