Most Americans Don’t Feel “Warm and Fuzzy” Over Hillary
Polls seem to be confirming what most of us already know: we don’t feel warm and fuzzy over the prospect of having Hillary Clinton as our president.
You know how we feel about polls on this blog, so take it for what it’s worth.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has the highest negative ratings of any presidential candidate in the 2008 race, can add another voter designation to her image: the coldest.
The Gallup Poll recently asked voters to rank the candidates on a “feeling thermometer,” in which zero was the coldest and 100 was the warmest. The New York senator and Democratic front-runner was the “most polarized” of all the candidates in either party, according to the poll.
“Nearly as many Americans say she leaves them cold as say they feel warmly about her,” Gallup said.
The article notes the core of Mrs. Clinton’s support is in her party, which is good enough to get the nomination, but what about the general election?
I was asked today who I thought was a good enough candidate to be our president, and I had to answer I didn’t know because I really haven’t paid attention to the issues favored by the various candidates. I also said I was sure I would crawl naked over frozen ice on crushed glass in a blizzard to make sure I got to the polls to vote against Hillary Clinton.
I’m tired of voting against someone and hope I can find someone to vote for instead.
