Hillary's Presidential Aspirations and Democratic Worries

Captain's Quarter linked and commented on this article. I'm a bit surprised at the poll numbers. I would have expected Hillary to be doing better. (Though I'm pretty much gleeful at her rating.)

Recent polling underscores some of those worries. In a CNN/USA Today/ Gallup poll made public yesterday, 51% of voters said they would definitely not vote for Mrs. Clinton if she chooses to run for president in 2008. In a separate nationwide poll conducted this month for a spirits company, Diageo, and a political newsletter, the Hotline, 44% of all voters and 19% of self-described Democrats said they viewed the New York senator unfavorably.

According to Democratic Party insiders, such numbers are adding to skittishness about Mrs. Clinton's potential candidacy.

Heh. Go read the rest. It's fascinating how they see why Hillary is disliked.
