Title: Hillary Clinton leads GOP presidential candidates, poll says Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on October 27, 2011, 05:58:27 PM http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2011/10/hillary-leads-gop-presidential-candidiates-poll-says/1
Quote People can't help but wonder what might happen if Hillary Rodham Clinton ran again for president. A new Time magazine poll shows Clinton easily defeating the major Republican candidates, were she somehow to become the 2012 Democratic nominee for president. Clinton leads Mitt Romney, 55% to 38%; Rick Perry, 58% to 32%; and Herman Cain, 56% to 34%, among likely voters in a general election. (Time magazine notes, "The same poll found that President Obama would edge Romney by just 46% to 43%, Perry by 50% to 38% and Cain by 49% to 37% among likely voters." Clinton's leads are bigger.) Of course, it's easier to be popular when you're a global diplomat rather than a down-in-the-pit politician. |
