Zogby Poll: Half Say They Would Never Vote for Hillary Clinton for President
Zogby ^ | October 20, 2007

Posted on 10/20/2007 11:22:06 AM PDT by keepitreal

While she is winning wide support in nationwide samples among Democrats in the race for their party’s presidential nomination, half of likely voters nationwide said they would never vote for New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, a new Zogby Interactive poll shows.

The online survey of 9,718 likely voters nationwide showed that 50% said Clinton would never get their presidential vote. This is up from 46% who said they could never vote for Clinton in a Zogby International telephone survey conducted in early March. Older voters are most resistant to Clinton – 59% of those age 65 and older said they would never vote for the New York senator, but she is much more acceptable to younger voters: 42% of those age 18–29 said they would never vote for Clinton for President.

Especially that stump speech where she tells everyone they’re fat!

WASHINGTON - Hey, Tubby, step away from the Big Mac!

That would be the message from a President Hillary Clinton, who suggested Thursday that Americans are roaming eating machines whose belt-busting habits are adding to the country’s health woes.

“People now eat all day long,” said Sen. Clinton (D-N.Y.), comparing habits now to her childhood. “We had three meals a day. [Now] people walk down the street, they eat in their cars - they eat everywhere.”

I will point it out again. The men that are left in the US need to rally on this one.

Do not try to beat this woman by giving up all you believe in and accept a liberal male.

Stand up and fight her by standing for family and the security of the US, otherwise you will lose to a nanny state liberal whether there is a D or an R before their name.

Wait till they hear her stump speeches every night on the news shrieking with that voice that makes you want to jab icepicks into your ear drums.

And then there's the Clinton Cackle:

Can you imagine having to listen to President Hillary for the next 8 years?

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

We did get luck with Reagan in 1980 though. Who was it John Anderson, a liberal republican that ran for president that year? I though he got 10% of the vote and Reagan still beat Carter by 10 points.
As for Gore I don’t think he’ll run either. If Nader ran and got 2 0r 3% of the vote that would be something at least. And He might if the anti-war left loses faith in Hillary.

50% said Clinton would never get their presidential vote

Clinton can still get elected. Obviously, this poll did NOT sample dead voters - they don't answer the phone, and they don't respond much to surveys. But they do vote, and will vote in large turnouts for Hillary!.

I've been saying this a long time now, but it's a real and present threat that Hillary become the next CINC. The problem is that the conservative base is split. Half will flatly refuse to vote for quasi-conservative (RINO) nominees such as Guiliani, Romney, and McCain (is he even still "viable"?). The other half will of course vote for whichever RINO gets endorsed by the RNC in fear simply to try to prevent Hillary from getting into office.

If a Guiliani, or Romney make it as a national nominee, the election is over. At that point, Hillary will have already won. There are too many of us who simply do not fear. We won't vote for RINOs, even knowing that it will likely tilt the election in Hillary's favor in 2008. For this, I've been called a leftist, stupid, a troll, and numerous other names. We'll vote for Duncan Hunter, Fred Thompson, Ron Paul...etc...etc...

But what do we call people who have been warned (according to my last paragraph) and yet continue to act blindly out of fear? It's obvious to me that the RNC is attempting to "steer" people, and is fairly successful with it... to the point of steering those whom they are able to.

50% of the voters doesn't mean anything. It's the electoral college who actually makes the decision.

One more time...IF a RNC RINO makes to the 2008 election, Hillary will become the 44th President of the United States of America.

I thought for a minute that I was reading The Onion. I haven't laughed so loud at a line in a serious news report in a long time.

I think this explains why the liberal media have been covering Hillary's financial scandals so much. They don't think she can win in the general election. But if she does get nominated, they will surely clam up.

Not when self-important idiots like Dobson talk about backing a 3rd Party candidate. Combine that with the sanctimonious single-issue voter getting ready to “send another message” and you get Hitlery the First, Primer of the Peoples Socialist Collective of America.

If she keeps this up, she is going to lose the fat vote.

“Approximately 23 percent of Americans are obese. An additional 36 percent are overweight.”

http://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB4549/index1.html

Yep, better not alienate 59% of the population!

I’ve been trying to stay upbeat, but if she does win, there may never be another conservative in the white house. Everything that goes wrong in her first term will be blamed on Bush, she will start wars for political purposes, so she’ll most likely be re-elected. By 2016 the 20 million illegals, millions of convicted felons, will be given the right to vote. So I don’t see how having her in the white house is a positive for the conservative cause.

If every single person who voted for John Anderson in 1980 had instead voted for “the incumbent” (not likely), Ronald Reagan would still have won both the popular and electoral vote.

That is why we need to not vote for any 3rd party candidate, not matter what. If a third party does start to promote a conservative Christian, be warned, the Reform Party was ran by liberal homosexuals from San Fransico, though many thought it was just about Perot, it was a big front. It was Clinton’s people all along, and I suspect that it will be Clinton’s people again should a “Christian Conservative” decide to run on a third party ticket.

Oh, I believe Reagan would have gotten at least 55% of the vote. As for Nader, he might play a part in this election because many on the lunatic left are upset with Hillary’s stance on the war. Can he get 2 or 3 points, yeah. In states like Ohio, Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvaina , he could be the difference maker.

Her national negatives have always been above 50%. Her fellow RATS are in fear of their lives if they mention it.

“All the more reason why the GOP must not choose Rudy Guliani, and instead opt for Romney, Thompson ... or ?”

I agree with you, we could be being fooled into picking Rudy because the Clinton people know that this will cause a back-lash. So people need to be smart and refuse to vote for Rudy at all, even though he has some good qualities, it’s not enough to be elected President as a Republcian, we can’t have a pro-abortion candidate, no matter how good they sound, because it will only cause a 3rd party, despite warnings to Chrisitans, people will not listen. So we must understand that.
