Raw Story writes up the new McClatchy poll.
It’s not like she’s still gaining name recognition, as are most of the other candidates. The public have had 15 years to make up their mind. And Hillary’s "favorable" number is only 39 percent.
Um… anyone who lived in the US in the last 15 years should already know this. It’s not exactly a revelation. I explained why on the day she announced. Which in my mind was little more than pointing out, I dunno, the sky is blue. Just the way things are.
How disliked is Clinton (fairly or not)? Every single other major candidate has net-positive name recognition. Giuliani is +28. Thompson is +24. Bloomberg is +22. Obama is +20. Edwards is +18. McCain is +16. Even the Dog Torturer is +8.
Hillary is at -3.
Granted, Clinton’s $27 million in fundraising this quarter will buy her a lot of headway in distracting the media from the her quantifiable unpopularity. The tent won’t fold. But it is what it is.
The Yankees aren’t so good this year even with Clemens, Pixar is pretty good with the animation, Hillary probably can’t win, and puppies are cute.
