FOX News Poll: More Voters Believe Clinton Will Be President
Thursday , October 11, 2007 By Dana Blanton
NEW YORK Even though it is still months before the first vote in a primary election and there is more than a year to go before the general election, many Americans already believe Hillary Clinton will be the next president of the United States.
More than 4 of 10 voters (44 percent) think another Clinton presidency is inevitable, which is almost four times as many as see Republican Rudy Giuliani winning the White House (12 percent), according to a newly released FOX News poll.
Not only do 61 percent of Democrats believe Clinton will be the next president, but also 25 percent of Republicans and 45 percent of independents.
"These results suggest there is a growing sense of inevitability to a 'Clinton II' presidency which is also reflected in the rhetoric of Republican presidential contenders who focus almost exclusively on Clinton as their general election target," commented Ernest Paicopolos, principal of Opinion Dynamics.

Exactly. She’ll be a worthy successor to Kerry, Gore, and Tom Dewey.
I think this “inevitable” in our faces 24/7 thing is sort of a brainwashing.
Either it will work and we’ll end up with statues and pictures of our Dear Leader Her Most Excellent Self - all over the place - just like Saddam and other rotten dictators - or everyone will be sick to death of her and vote for anyone who will make her just go away.
It ain’t gonna be easy.
I know a few that want her to be president, but when asked why they really can’t say.
Now, we are faced with the prospect of an even-worse example of this "pandering" being put in a position of trust (what a joke), where the stains from her husband-in-name-only have not been fully removed.
The legacy of the Klintoons may become one of "destroyed the Honor, Trust, and Integrity" of the Office of the President.
Hillary already has the Black vote, so she will pick Richardson as her running mate, which will guarantee her the Latino vote.
I regret to say it, but I think it's a done deal.
sw
in a landslide loss a la Carter vs. Reagan!
I don't care if I'm the only sane one left, but no matter what...
She is clearly the leader in the Demo pack. We don’t have a clear leader in the Repub pack.
Too early for this analysis.
I wonder how she will handle the coming war... You know when she wins and then guts homeland security, gives amnesty to the illegals, folds in the ME and then the inevitable Al-Qaeda attack on america that will make 911 pale in comparison... When the pundits and the media will start really looking at the decline and fall of America and come to the same conclusion that a simple BJ felled this once great nation...
What possibly can she say to America from the smoldering ruins of the next 911... I think that well maybe George W. Bush was right after all just won’t cut it.....
Well, yeah, with a third party candidate that can happen. Is that going to happen this time around? If so, this poll is meaningless since no one knows who would run. What if Algore runs as an independent on the "Nobel Prize" ticket? That would pull Hillary's number down.
Americans sense that the Republicans have not yet settled on a conservative candidate.
I will not vote for a liberal Republican.
They must, because I have never been polled and nether have my friends or anyone I know.
If so, America will have no excuses at all for what happens to it.
Na, American’s sense that Republicans/Conservatives don’t care, or want Hillary and Bill for another term (or 2).
And those Americans are correct is their observations.
This is good news ...
First - the poll didn’t say people WANTED her to be President, but that they thought she would. And - it wasn’t even an actual majority.
Second - statistically, people are right. She’s got better odds of winning the Presidency than any particular Republican at this time. Given the current “up in the air” status of the Republican nomination, and her lock on the Democrat nomination ... the odds are 50% that Clinton will be President, and 20% Giuliani, 20% Thompson, 10% Romney. Once the Republicans nominate a candidate, the Republican/ Democrat odds will even out.
Third - the apparent inevitability of a Clinton presidency may motivate conservatives to block her.
