Hillary: The Democrats Big Dilemma
March 28, 2007

The national Democratic Party just can’t catch a break. True, they’ve captured Congress and have an unpopular GOP President to rally against in the run-up to the 2008 Presidential Election.
They even have an extraordinarily well-known, well-funded frontrunner for the Democratic nomination. What could be better?
Just one problem: she’s Hillary Clinton, and half of the country has already declared that they won’t be voting for her. That’s according to the reputable Harris Poll, just out this week. 2,223 potential voters participated nationwide.
In fact, over one in five Democrats in the survey said they would not vote for Clinton. Overall, Clinton garnered only 36 percent of those participating, and to beat all, 11 percent said that they are unsure of their top choice! Other Harris Poll findings on Hillary:
Forty-eight percent of Independent voters said that they would choose some other candidate over Clinton;
Fifty-six percent of men said that they would not vote for Clinton;
Perhaps most alarming for Clinton supporters: 45 percent of women said that Hillary would not be their choice.
And she’s got work to do bigtime with the senior citizens of America, with 69 percent of those 62 and older said that they would not vote for Clinton.
