A majority of Californians say they're ready for a woman president, although New York Sen. Hillary Clinton may not necessarily be the one they would vote for, according to a new statewide poll released Friday.
The Field Poll showed that 69 percent of registered voters in the state believe the country is ready for a female president, while 24 percent disagreed. There was little difference in opinion between men and women, although Democrats (77 percent) and nonpartisan (74 percent) voters were more likely to favor a female president compared to Republicans (56 percent), and younger people were more receptive to the idea than those 65 and older.
When asked about whether they would be inclined to vote for Clinton in 2008, Californians were more evenly split, with 47 percent saying they would and 42 percent saying they would not, according to the poll.
The survey said those supportive of Clinton tend to be young, ethnic, liberal and either non-Christian or nonreligious.
If Clinton did run, 51 percent of California voters believe she would be treated more harshly than other candidates, the poll showed. Eighteen percent said she would be treated better, and 22 percent said she'd be treated equally.
Researchers interviewed 507 registered voters by telephone from Feb. 12-26 in English and Spanish. The poll has a sampling error rate of 4.5 percentage points.
If Hitlery can't win California, she has no hope!
She can't win NY either. NYers said they won't vote for her for President!
Duh!
Hillary isn't going to run. She can't win easily, so she won't risk her reputation.
Rudy, a Reagan style sweep of America! LOL
Fast and furious ash tray hurling as we speak.
"Hillary isn't going to run."
No, I don't think she will. If she did, she would not win. I think she knows this.
I think the GOP nominee and winner of the election will be George Allen. And the number two spot will probably be Rudy Guiliani, Condi Rice or Mike Pence.
Probably, just hope it's not McCain. I'm tired of politics at this point and thinking about sitting out of the election anyhow. none of them are worth a damn.
If you are going to be anyplace near where George Allen is appearing, you owe it to yourself to go see him. He will remind you of a young Reagan.
Allen is another back-stabbing RINO.
If McCain or Guiliani get the nomination, I am voting third party. I will not cast a vote for either of them.
i don't think i'm voting for anyone this point. i'm sick of it.
She's unelectable.
HMS Hillary just hit an iceberg.
.....followed immediately by a series of non-Reaganesque gun-control laws.
What are you referring to?
More harshly? How could anyone be treated more harshly than how the male candidates are?
That said, they will call any attack on Hillary "harsh" and "sexist". She will be held to a lesser standard due to everyone's fear of being called a woman basher.
You watch and see. Those who scream for equity and equality will be the first ones to complain when Hillary actually gets it.
