Senator Hillary Clinton is pulling away from the field in the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination but remains weaker than other major Democratic contenders in match-ups with top Republicans.
Both candidates are well liked within their own party,
Seventy-two percent (72%) of Republicans view Giuliani favorably while 64% say the same about Thompson.
The former First Lady is viewed favorably by just 49% and unfavorably by 48%.

Actually according to a recent NBC/Wall St Journal poll, Clinton is currently at 44% favorable and 39% unfavorable. She is inching up slowly but steadily. And the report you sited is from Rasmussen, which also did the polling, hardly a creditable source. Ultimately, when you look at the contenders in the field, the one that really jumps out with the political savvy, intelligence and determination to make a difference would have to be Hil. You're all fooling yourselves if you think the next election will be anything but a "mandate" for the Dems, as Bush would put it.

Amazing how what's left out here is the fact she still polls better than the republicans in head to head match agaianst them Gulliani VS Clinton, Clinton would beat Giuliani by six points and she beats Romney, McCain, and Thompson by even larger numbers

I don't think the dems should be concerned at all. If Hillary wins the nomination, she will lose the election and Americans will be safer. The rabid liberals aren't worried either. They're too consumed with hate to feel anything but that.

The whole election system has been underminded.

To evidence of fraud/hacking in Ohio in '04, to the felon rolls in Florida in 2000.
The GOP has the upper hand on issues of national security and their piss-poor foreign policy has all but guaranteed that we'll be tied up in wars from now till the end of the world.
The 9/11 commission report (pg. 147) states that our ties with Israel are what upset the "mastermind" of 9/11 about the US. Here we are in 2007 with no lessons learned from 9/11 giving weapons to Israel, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070730/pl_afp/usmideastmilitary&printer=1

specific. i've got under pressure the significance of respecting the President no be counted who they are. yet I also have a tendency to be lots much less "my way or the line" than some. i do no longer understand "bashing" applicants lots. a minimum of no longer in the lude and crude experience yet i do no longer understand doing that to anybody. It style of debases your self whilst conversing and in certainty leaves you looking under sensible. I even have observed issues that i'm fascinated by yet have a tendency to stay far flung from bashing, I even call her Clinton or Senator Clinton using fact her call isn't "Hillary". it somewhat is in basic terms how i became raised nonetheless... if certainty be told. At this factor I see this needed know starting to be a real hazard.

Wishfull thinking. Hillary is pulling away because Democrats are united. That's not the case on the other side. The Republicans are fractured. America sees the light and the solution to this Republican mess is not to elect another, but to reject it. Hillary will win!!!

As a moderate left, I'd have a real hard time voting for Hillary. Biden's my guy. Unfortunately, he hasn't got the war chest that Hillaryor Obama have.

Most people that support Hillary probably don't realize this is a huge flaw and refuse to realize it.
This is one of the major reasons why I dislike Hillary for President. She has no abilities standing on her own debating someone let alone making good decisions.

First of all, it is still very early, the field on both sides is large. That said, I for one am not worried as the Republicans I have spoken with recently do not see much to like among their selection. Unless this election is stolen like the last two, it will be a Dem President.
