CNN

First and foremost we don't believe in CNN for any truths. Secondly this household that was Democratic wouldn't vote for her and her baggage ever. I can't wait until another woman candidate comes up. Maybe next time but our votes in this house are up for anyone but Mrs. Clinton.

What is Gloria Borger smoking? Even my liberal female friends are offended by H. Clinton. Or, this could be another piece where CNN disinforms.

Well said, y jmaya, iowa : October 28, 2007 1:25 pm

Every time i read news about Obma and Edward it reminds me how badly they want to be president. Their campaign is nasty; never discuss about issues. I can't wait them get out from this race.
JUST4HILL!

I am supporting Hillary Clinton because she is SMART, INTELLIGENT AND THE MOST QUALIFIED PERSON -WHO CAN TAKE AMERICAN FORWARD.
HILL STAY AWAY FROM THESE MEN'S BULLY! BE FOCUSED AND ISSUE ORIENTED, PLEASE DON'T DO NEGATIVE CAMPAIGN!

NEVER VOTE FOR OBAMA AND EDWARD EVEN THOUGH I AM A LIFE TIME DEMOCRATIC, BECASUE THEY ARE NOT LEADERS; THEY ARE OPPORTUNIST POWER HUNGER MEN!

Jane, are we to believe that Bill and his intern invented oral sex and that "children" never did that before? Not hardly but frommthe rest of your irrational GOP mud filled rant, reason does not seem to be a part of your appreoach. Let us fit a shoe on the other foot shall we? Chaney and Rummey clearly had a hand in planning 9-11 and flying the others from the middle east that had parts in it out on that airliner the next day. W being a small cog in their corrupt operations would never have been informed and that is why he was told to do nothing while he was reading My Pet Goat. Look at the time line of actions and movement of people without being confused by thwe Spin and rewriting of history be the same peopl. They biggest money bags supporter just happened to schedule a last minute private golf trip on a small, poorly known course that just happens to be in the shadow of an ABM complex out west instead of his nornmal place in the twin towers? Fuynny how the towers burst into flame even thought there were people seen standing in the hole that the airplane made shortly after the crash. And the missile that hit the Pentagon? Really, a hole only 16 feet wide from a big jet, that disintegrats on contact and the security cameras dissappeared within minutes, never to be seen again? Too much evidence to dispute, but they got away with 3000 murders and pinned it on Saddam. Now that is a rant and much more believable than your fantasy (since it is true).

Are you really Democrats?

I see that Jon in Sacremento has sucessfully repeated the party line. Please think about this. The comment by the Democrats in response is right. Both parties have there people in harms way. Just what do they think they can "do to help" on the ground. Are they goinmg to grab a shovel and compete with the fire fighters or a hammer and compete with Jimmy Carter in putting together homes? Or is it to be like W at ground zero and do a photo op? Or they could stay in Washington and do their jlobs, hopefully in a responsible way to pass the schipo law and provide decades over due coverage for more children. So what if the bill is not perfect? It can be adjusted later. The problem is that the medical companies scamming the country have sent their puppets orders and the puppets do not want to risk those juicy campaign donations. Funny thing about the 9-11 photo op, as soon as the spot light moved, Bush and Rudi turned their backs on the first responders and Hillary was inj the Senate doing her job to get them relief. Watch for the same scam in the schip game when Bush and his flunkies turn their back (again) on the poor. He has done it his whole public life. Yes, a handfull may sneak in for coverage and not be what most of us call poor, so what? That is a cowards excuse to take the existing coverage from many and deny it to more. Now if the Bushites could figure out how to get that money into their own pockets there would be a stampede to pass the bill regardless of flaws. So give Hillary and the people being responsible on this issue some well deserved credit.

Why isn't anybody talking about the fact that Senator Obama didn't cast his vote on the Iran issue. Once again the media is letting him off the hook.

As an outsider (Canadian) who follows US politics religiously, it amazes me how blind Americans are when it comes to politics. Electing Bush for a second term after stealing the first election was a true mistake, shown now by the evidence, or lack thereof, of the Weapons of Mass Destruction. There is no other choice for America when it comes to re-establishing their global reputation, power, economic influence and status as the World's greatest super power. Hillary has got to be your next President.

I'm a democrat and I will be voting for whomever is the Democratic nominee...that being said I am voting for Hillary because I think she is the best candidate to win in the general election..will she win...only in Nov 08 will we know...polls, scmolls...after the last two elections who in their right mind would give polls much credence. I tell you what you can take from all these negative comments on Hillary...you know who the Republicans are afraid of. You won't get this much negativity on the other candidates cause they don't fear losing to any of them...yes ..even Obama. He's getting all the positives and good press now, but let him win the primary and he's gonna get his first taste of the Republican smear machine and we'll see if he has the "experience" that his folks like to brush off as a non-issue and take the punches, that will come...you can bet your paycheck on that, and keep it moving. Which is why Hillary is the best candidate, the Republicans have dug up the best dirt and she's still standing...don't know what skeletons Obama may or maynot have, but this election is too important too risk it. The female student from his college days that will surface out of the blue and say he was sexually aggressive, the paper he wrote years ago that might show a little too much pro-black rhetoric, the questionable handling of some kind of finances in Illinois...this is me acting like a Republican and showing just a few of the many tricks they have and will use when the gloves come off in the general election. True or not true unfortunately all there needs to be is the accusation and if he can't dispute it outright or dispute the spin that they will put on it...its lights out. His experience and his unknown factor are an issue to me and Democrats who want a Dem in 08 and its a risk we can't take. As much as you may ideally like the idea of voting for a candidate on his face value and his/her public political record its not he way the game is played and Democrats need to stop turning the other cheek and wake up to that fact.

Yeha i dont give a root crap what hillary does,her personal life,that does not concern me one bit.her solid plans there concrete,if my family and my granchildren have better lives,like i had with bill clinton then im voting Hillary,ya gotta go up on taxes ,the bush adminstration has debt out of this world on social security,credit cards to pay for,im sure she is going to find lotts more debt we dont even no about.Im sure bill will help.when you have fiscal responsiblity agenda you live good.hillary all the way!!!!

What are the Democrats thinking We have a decent, intelligent candidate who has a plan to get out of the war, who has a son going off to fight the war, who has a proven track record of bringing both partys together to pass a bill, a candidate who moderate Republicans say they would vote for, who always does a great job in the debates, who all the other candidates think would make a great Secretary of State. Joe Biden should be the next President a decent man with experience and leadership and knowledge (No on the job training for this man). Now look, who we are showing in the polls (Hillary ) is the choice she got the money and the name and the baggage. Oh Goody another election lost .....

Hillary's husband has the nerve to talk about naked Republicans. Because of him our country now have children committing oral sex on each other( and saying if President Clinton could do it so can I,..for he was our leader). After his terms of president of were over,... Why didn't he and Hillary move back to Arkansas? I still want to know what Vince Foster had on Hillary that it cost him his life?...after he threaten to reveal the secret? I want to know how can a dead man change the original clothing he was murdered in and also move his dead body to another location and position himself in a ciffin position? Are there policemen's death in Arkansas we do not know about that involved the ( William Jefferson Blythe VI) Clinton's? Is it true the Blythe/Clinton's have an open marriage,.. and that is why she remained with Bill after and during his affair with Monika? All I am wanting are asked questions and answered from the Blythe/Clinton's,.. William Jefferson and his wife Hillary. Buy the way The Democrats and the Republicans have a lot to be desired of them. They equally have shamed our nation and are not doing what they were elected to do,...and that is to do the will of the people,... and not what is on their personal agenda.

I am an Edwards supporter who can only thank the Clinton Bashers for 8 more years of Clinton. You underestimated Bill and your hysterical rabid hatred played right into their hands and Bill turned out to be a B+ president to 65% of the American people. Now your hatred and hysteria simply makes their reasonableness look sane and professional especially after 8 years of massive incompetence on all levels. Its like the embargo on Cuba versus engagement with Russia one failed for 60 years but the kooks control the debate on Cuba where a bipartisan consistent voice had a different result.

She will be an effective president and coming after Bush will look like a genius. All made possible by the overreaching hysteria of the Clinton Bashers

Are you really a woman or a chauvinist man in disguise????? I can't believe that a real woman would write something as sexist as what you have posted.

Menopausal women are not to be trusted because they're too emotional and Hillary's hand would be shaking over the nyuclear button????? I don't know whether to laugh or cry at your statement. Lady, if that is indeed what you are, you're a disgrace to all other women!!!!

Wow CNN! I am really impressed with you for a change. There are MANY negative Hillary comments here and you let them stay up. Good job of playing both sides fairly. Thanks.
That being said...I am a baby boomer, female dem and would never ever consider voting for Hillary even if no one else was running. I would love to see a woman in the WH. I think that a female could do a great job as President. It just can not be Hillary. She is way too divisive. Even the posters here are at each other. It is just shameful and ugly. We need someone who can unite this country after so many years of anger and hatred. Hillary is not that person.
Any democrat except Hillary!

Hillary Clinton is strong, capable and ready to be President.

I'm a moderate Democrat whose beliefs fall along the lines of the fiscally conservative and socially liberal.

If those of you who bash Hillary took the time to do your homework, you'd see that her policies will be sound, her leadership open and inclusive.

Those of you who harp on her staying with Bill after the finger wagging incident, well, get real. Those are big ol glass houses most of you live in.

Sanctity of marriage, give me a break. How sanctified is marriage when nearly 50% of marriages end up un divorce. Come on! STAY OUT OF THEIR MARRIAGE. How'd you like someone putting their big ol nosey noses in your private life. He did it, they worked it out, GET OVER IT!

If the neo cons had their way, the likes of Larry Craig and Mark Foley would be the marriage police. Of course they'd be policing you while they run amuck.

I wonder if we will ever get to a place in this great country where we all lived by the golden rule (Treat others only in ways that you're willing to be treated in the same exact situation").

My darkest concern is that we continue on this path of destructive politicking and mis-information from our government.

Many people seem to be OK with accepting this secret society leadership. I am not.

This administration is moving America into a catastrophic and indeed cataclysmic confrontation with all the dialogue and threats of World War III.

If I were a conspiracy theorist I might consider the motive was to justify this fascist administration's basis for cancelling our next election.

I think Hillary will make a great President if we have the opportunity to vote.

Hey Randy'
Seeing as you asked...the Canadian health care system is working well for me and mine and has a higher than 75%approval rating across Canada. The strength of our system is that we have a universal plan and we can work within it to improve it. I don't think of it as socialism but a cultural value.

As to higher taxes, we are consistently paying down our debt resulting in a stronger dollar as well as not living way beyond our means and passing on a huge debt to our children and grandchildren due to selfishness and shortsighted policies.

i had some doubts about hillary until i went and listened to her talk here in seattle. She made some very good points. Some of which i had already thought of. She used no notes and was very well received here in seattle. Hillary is very capable of being the next president. and i beleive she will be our next president to get this country on the right track. For the most part people are listening to the republicans remors. Get involved dont just listen to rumors and keep spreading them. Get out and enlighten yourselves.

Come along now James, your side spent years claiming that W is a strong leader because he never admits a blunder. His inability to act without his handlers permission is portrayed as resolve. Some hate her because they want women to be barefoot and pregnate or be a suck up trophy wife without their own identity & sold to a drunken millionaire, like Laura. Now I have to agree with those that do not like her immigration position. All the Dems and most of the main line Repugs have the same one as far as I can see. But Kerry is about 14 times the man Bush every will be, McCain, now going senile, is more like 18-20 times Bush. So don't hate Hillary for being a woman, or married to Bill or assertive or being only about 4 times the man Bush is. She is willing to accept the thankless task of picking up the shattered pieces of this economy and our international reputation. Most runing against her from the right agree with W that things are great. That is an easy distinction to see past.

Hillary will win, no question about it. Futhermore I know of at least eight people who are voting for her in ny & nj.

Thy “protest too much” you poll haters? If you don't like the message then you attack the messenger…what’s wrong with you?? Why I'm I not the least bit surprise by this whining and mischaracterization of Hillary. Hillary is the “bomb” as one of my friend little girl says. Her mother said that when she looks at her 7 yr old daughter and for the first time can actually say to her that “you to can grow up to be President some day to!” That really means something now and had an effect on me. Back in the 70’s when I was in middle school where we discussed and voted on which would come first? Whether or not we would elect the first African American man or a woman President and the men carried the day. I glad to say that as far as the Democrats are concerned that possibility rings true on both accounts…Wow!

I’ve have recently decided that Hillary Clinton has what it takes to win and would make an excellent President and would be an inspiration to both men and women alike. She’s my girl!

has cnn ever been neutral in reporting.

More bad journalism.

Since when did floating a biased public opinion poll, getting exactly the answers they sought through dubious sampling methodolgy and then reporting this as "news" become the order of the day?

This is just more shoddy journalism, brought to you by the folks who were in bed with Saddam all throught the Nineties.

CNN: The most trusted name in anti-Bush, anti-war, anti-Conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American propaganda.

Is it any wonder why subscriptions of daily newspapers and viewship of CNN have both plummeted in the past five years?

If Hillary was as strong and decisive as people seem to think she is, shouldn't she have left Bill after what he did to her. Her actions in that situation show she has no backbone or self-respect, and is putting up a false curtain to better her political career. I don't trust her, she is not charismatic, and her overall disposition is that of curmudgeon. If our country is in the dumps in the next few years, we need someone who will bring us up and Hillary is far from that person. I want to see a woman in office, but I think the first woman President should be someone that is gonna bring about change and be remembered for political brilliance. That's why my vote goes to Obama. He is the best African-American candidate to date and has the progressive change that our country needs. We have been in political stagnation far to long and something needs to be done about that.

Hey John in Sacramento......... so Nancy should be helping her constituents in California eh? I have an idea she was by voting on a bill that could help provide health insurance to kids in her district. Just so you're clear, the fires didn't happen in her district. So sad it took someone from PA to give you a geography lesson on the state in which you live............. DUHHHHHHHHH

All right! I've been reading these comments and I must say that the article by CNN and the people responding to same are different altogether. I do not want a woman at the helm of our country because of the very fact that she is a woman! Now you aggressive/man-like women reading this can get your shrill voices on here, but you know and I know that no menopausal woman will make a good, steady president! It's as simple as that. There is a BIG difference between a man and a woman. One is run by her emotions and one is not. Now I don't know about you folks, but I do not want my president having mood swings, hot flashes, and hysterical moments while her hand is shaking over the Nuke Button!!! Now fess up, I bet you don't want that either. OH, CNN, LEAVE THIS COMMENT IN PLEASE, THANK YOU.

As a Democrat, it's really frustrating to see this awful excuse for a senator leading the polls for my party. It's also angering that the media has already inaugurated her president. We Democrats will have been waiting 8 years to reclaim the White House, and we seem determined to pick this war-loving DINO (Democrat In Name Only). I like every Democrat running for president except Hillary. She can't win a general election. Democrats, let's get it together and nominate Bill Richardson, someone who actually will end the Iraq war and won't go to war with Iran, and who has far more experience than that despicable Hillary Clinton.

All it matters to me is to have our country rebuild. These candidates are doing all their best to destroy each other. As far as I am concerned, there are some candidates that just went an run for Presidency just to have names in history. They could say he or she ran for President. It looks like you are just wasting your time and money, and also using people to assist them. They know themselves if they have that qualities to be President. Only few that I could see should run to compete. Well, with what our country is going, the person that I will vote for President is Hillary Clinton. She can do it. She is the kind of President we need now for this country. Citizens of the United States are now smarter than ever to vote. We suffered in this administration and will still suffer. Evidence? Why the Democrats controlled now the House and the Senate? People are tired of this adminstration. For me , I would not even care who won, because all I care is what would be our life be under this administration? We need to move on since we cannot do anything now but for our next President, I wish it will be Hilary, and I know she will win. We will recover , although she will be inheriting some problems now. She will handle it. My God, we need to have better life now. I am glad we will have the election soon.

It is about time for everyone who is so worked up over the results of this poll to remember that they (the candidates) are all the same. Is it really a surprize that politicians are playing politicts to get elected? Hillary, Rudy and all the rest are going to tell you what you want to hear to get your vote...Duhhh. At least Hillary is offering up ideas for moving the country forward as opposed to throwing stones like the rest seem to be. Regardless, at least George is out for good!

Hillary is great! She's the most sincere, honest politician of the bunch. And she knows how to get things done. It's amazing how much she stands above all the rest in all categories.

I'm a man, and I'm voting for Hillary. She's a little bit too big-government, but otherwise the best candidate for the job.

Matt – Boston, MA,

You suggest, "A true socialist government is one where all property is owned by the state, and resources are rationed to the people according to a plan of equal means for all."

There are a variety of "flavors" of socialism, likely no two economical approaches are identical. The type of socialism endorsed by Hillary and Co is European Socialism. Europeans own land. However the median tax rate ranges between 30-50%, which would TRIPLE the average American's obligation! Europe under their "wise" approach maintains a 9% unemployment rate – TWICE the American rate. Europeans pay almost THREE times the price for gas (petrol).

You further go on to cite all the "negatives" of our current economy.

Matt, do you REALLY believe the answer is HIGHER TAXES and Government entitlement programs?? What you are suggesting – the answer to "wages" is the Government propping up individual income through taxation. The vicious circle would mean LESS investment into the economy by business entrepeneurs, LESS spending because taxes would eat up ANY discretionary income for most folks.

Agree or disagree with this view... USE Europe as the economic model for where Hillary and the Dems want to take us.

My vote is: No Way in Hell !!

Jon in Sacremento,
Where did you find this supposed "FACT" on SCHIP??? You are simply wrong. You need some better FACTS – your arguments sound like the typical Limbaugh spin that the GOP spoon feeds you. Go think for yourself for a change. RON PAUL '08!!!

Aaron,

*I* should get my facts straight?? LOL. Here ya go – straight from the bastion of right-wing radio .. NPR:

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=15408992

And instead of expecting you'll actually read the article... I'll provide the respective quote,

"As expected, the House has failed to override President Bush's veto of a popular children's health insurance bill. The 273-156 tally meant that the Democrats fell 13 votes short of the two-thirds majority supporters needed to override.

The dispute is over a $35 billion spending increase for a children's health insurance program called SCHIP."

Did ya catch that, Aaron? A $35 Billion INCREASE. Put down the bong and engage your mind, dude.

Perhaps from ignorance or from a way to soothe your worries – suggesting Jesus was a socialist is just plain wrong.

Posted By Jon, Sacramento ~ Ca : October 26, 2007 3:02 pm

Maybe Jon, but your insinuation that Jesus would not approve of the idea of government helping the less fortunate is equally wrong. You conservatives keep trotting out that old "render unto Caesar what is Caesar's" line in an attempt to justify greed and indifference to human suffering. Jesus also said "what you do to the least of my people you do to me"...and he didn't make any distinction between government help and private charity.

Ok Jon from Sacramento, let's look at the facts.

A true socialist government is one where all property is owned by the state, and resources are rationed to the people according to a plan of equal means for all. The right-wing shills you apparently favor have you convinced that any use whatsoever of tax dollars for social assistance equates to socialism, which is an intentional and deceitful exaggeration to scare you into voting for a continuation of our current corporatocracy.

Hillary Clinton has never advocated for government seizure of privately owned property or for revoking individuals' rights to personal wealth accumulation. She has merely proposed potential ideas for investing in the futures of all Americans, so that everyone gets some kind of shot at the American dream of ownership and wealth, not just those who already own all the wealth.

But since you're apparently so interested in stopping wealth redistribution at any cost, you might be interested in a few more facts, about the redistribution that's already occurred right under your nose, under the guise of free-market capitalism. Since Bush has taken office (according to Internal Revenue Service data – citing sources always helps with your credibility),

- 5 million Americans have dropped below the poverty line;
- 3 million American workers have lost their pensions;
- the personal savings rate amongst Americans is below zero, something not seen since the Great Depression;
- median household income has gone down by nearly $1,300
- entry-level wages for high school graduates have fallen by over 3%
- earnings for college graduates have fallen by over 5%
- 18% of children in the country live in poverty, which is the highest rate in the industrialized world
- The top-earning 300,000 Americans now earn as much as the bottom 150 million Americans, again the largest wealth gap in the industrialized world

So I should take it that you don't mind when gov't policies move wealth from the poor to the already wealthy; you just object to it being the other way around? You'd rather vote for the Sheriff of Nottingham than Robin Hood?

Now don't get me wrong; Hillary will not get my vote for the Democratic nomination, mostly because I don't think she'll really do much of anything to redress that imbalance. But don't kid yourself about the Republican alternative; if you're not already a part of that gilded top 1%, the GOP will not do anything at all to help you, bucko.

Tommy,
enlighten me to when Jesus said give 40 or more percent to the gubment. cause I thought it was give 10% to the church, must have missed were ACTS said that Jesus was a socialist. Its like this Tommy, if I saw you on the side of the road dying of dehydration and starvation, I would pick you up feed and give you water(probably what jesus would have done), I would take you to the hospital, however Im not going to pay for your medical bills. That last part is socialism, the first part of the story was my Christian duty. Can you see the diference.

I have seen the statistics rating America's so called opinion of Hillary Cliton and I think the numbers are tainted. Let's see there's an election coming up. My point is what is really important here? I don't believe her or Bill care one bit about the average working men and wemen in this country, I have never believed anything that has come from them. First off Bill was not a president, a playboy and an opportunist yes but wow did he fool most people, I think he must be a hypnotist. It's so obvious they are self seaking, for power and looking to pad their pockets with more special interest money and it would be so tragic if another Clinton get's into the White House! Did we not learn anything from the last time I wonder. God help us!

terry, lemme get this right, you want to continue to attack a country that never attacked us and had no WMD's?

were you bullied as a child?

Lemme get this right, you THINK we're attacking "Iraq"?

Newsflash Rob – Saddam's forces were rolled. Saddam was found in a hole, tried, and hung. Our soldiers are fighting Al Qaeda, insurgents, and those bent on doing harm. Our soldiers are PROTECTING civilians. We are helping provide Iraq the opportunity to develop a representative form of government. We are helping rebuild the infastructure of their country.

We are NOT "attacking Iraq".

Daniel in Charlotte: Your analogy is faulty, simply becouse one doesn't like the form of gov't known as socialism doesn't mean they have something against the countries where it's practiced; apples and oranges.
And next time you're talking with a Canadian or a Brit, ask them how that socialized medicine is working for them.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is a SOCIALIST, not a CAPITALIST. Please read the book of ACTS, that's how Apostales and followers lived and shared with each other.
I just don't understand why Republicans are so angry and hateful all the time. And worst of all, these Republicans haters are using my Lord's name in vain to destroy others. It's a shame!!!!

Posted By Tommy : October 26, 2007 2:03 pm

Tommy – sorry, but you're wrong. "Socialist" or socialism is a form of government. Jesus was charitable (something that didnt involve government). In fact – when questioned about government, Christ said, "Render until Ceasar that which is Ceasar's and give unto God that which is His". Christ separated the two (government versus charity).

The problem with Socialism – is that is coerced. By force and penalty – taxes are taken from us. (Remember how the tax-collectors were hated in the day of Christ?). What Christ advocates is the voluntary gift of charity – to help your neighbor.

Perhaps from ignorance or from a way to soothe your worries – suggesting Jesus was a socialist is just plain wrong.

I Am A White Male From Red-State North Carolina & I LOVE Her. & Can't Wait To Vote For Her!!!–I Think Some Men Feel Threatened By Strong Women, But I Think She Would Make A Wonderful President!!–President Bush Has Run This Country In The Mud & It Is Way Past Time For A Change!!

You go Hillary! We are with you!!

I don't understand how everyone can bach any poll that shows Hillary Clinton's strengths, but yet at the same time tout polls that show her unfavoribility markings or her opponents being stronger in a certain area. You can wish away her apperance as a strong leader all you want, it doens't make the poll wrong just because it doesn't say what you want it to.

Some people are just too funny!!! To the Freepers and other conservatives Hillary is (take a pick) a communist, a socialist or, get this, a fascist. To the KOS crowd and the extreme liberal branch of the party Hillary is almost a Republican, a Bush-Lite.

Guess what folks, she's neither of these things! She's a middle of the road Democrat and that's where most Americans are positioned. Ergo, her consistent high polling numbers.

Interesting stats about likeability of Senator Clinton considering well under 1/2 the bi-partisan workforce I'm a part of share the views CNN is trumpeting. Most plain don't trust her.

I'll not vote for Hillary because I don't trust her. She's taken money from thieves, she wants government health care (If you don't think so go do some research), She wants to raise taxes, she thinks running away from Iraq will make America safe (Someone explain to me how this could be so?)

thats laughable... but you trust bush and his lies about iraq. with all the money spent on this war we could have paid for universal healthcare 5x over.

RON PAUL FOR PREZ 08

Brittney, Austin Texas

A socialist does not equate to a Christian. Jesus never mandated that the government is responsible for poor people. In fact, he said the poor you will always have among you. However, he mandated that Christians are individually responsible to help poor people.

Hillary, be definition is indeed a left-wing socialist. And she is the worst business supporter possible. She is pushing jobs to India for IT, when we have thousands & thousands of new college grads each year. But like always, she panders to every single group, & owes every lobbyist a favor. Ang guess what...I am not a right-winger..in fact I voted for Kerry. Hillary is our worst possible choice.ABH...Anyone But Hillary.

The problem will Hillary is the same problem with most Dems, they think they know the answers to everything. I'll not vote for Hillary because I don't trust her. She's taken money from thieves, she wants government health care (If you don't think so go do some research), She wants to raise taxes, she thinks running away from Iraq will make America safe (Someone explain to me how this could be so?)

I'd love to see a woman in the whitehouse, I think it's time for a different outlook...however I'd like to have a woman who's going to run the whitehouse like a true american.

With right to a Free Press also comes responsibility. Sadly, our Free Press only goes as far as the Fax machine to determine the truth, and only if the DNC has issued them their talking points/news flashes.

And the you think Fox is right wing. Take a look at NBC, ABC, NPR, ABC, CNN, BBC, etc. What a joke..

If Republicans think she's too polarizing why don't they keep quiet so we can nominate her. Is she not the easiest to beat? eh? Fake people and fake dream. The only reason they have hired bloggers everywhere to spin information all over the internet is simply for one reason. They feel so ashamed that she will beat them next year. They behave as if they are bigger than the country when there are less than 40% registered republicans. These are bunch of uneducated fools who can't differentiate between I and 1. You need to look at the FOX NEWS republican debate to see how bunch of old fools could not answer HOW they can beat Mrs. Clinton rather they were reviling in rhetorics. It was really revealing. Another interesting thing that night was when Frank Luntz has the focus group what is their biggest fear. One would expect them to talk about their party, behold the 25 men and women in the focus group all said their greatest fear is that Sen. Clinton will win the 2008 election. Then Frank asked them what was wrong with that, and unbelievably some of them said she's a socialist. Frank now asked them 'truly from your hearts do you think she's a socialist and only one (1) woman responded saying that's what she's told. The others kept quiet. 'Told' by who. This is an adult with children. How does she bring up her children? Can you believe this level of absurdity? If you ask all these people talking about socialism to define what it is, you will be astonished about their answers; how much more creating a nexus between socialism and Sen. Clinton's policy. Fools will always remain fools even if you dress them up. For me, i will support any of the democratic candidate for general election except kucinich and gavel. Enough of this cowardly international aggression. Let us fight only when it is necessary and not for idealogical reasons. The country is bigger than any of the two main parties.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is a SOCIALIST, not a CAPITALIST. Please read the book of ACTS, that's how Apostales and followers lived and shared with each other.
I just don't understand why Republicans are so angry and hateful all the time. And worst of all, these Republicans haters are using my Lord's name in vain to destroy others. It's a shame!!!!

Brittney, Austin Texas

You're getting it twisted and I love how people like you bring up the jesus argument. Jesus took care of the poor out of moral and spiritual obligation, which I agree with. What I dont agree with is when some prick in washington makes that choice for me. You think that money is going to make it to the people who need it. how did FEMA do in NOLA, how is social security doing. Please try to leave Jesus out of politics, Im more likely to give when gubment keeps their hands out of my pocket book.

I dont really care if her "values" mirror mine. This term is so twisted in American politics it's pathetic. I dont care what her religious beliefs are, I dont care what she does in her personal life. What I do care about is whether she can change my life for the better, and get the nation back on the road to peace and prosperity. I believe that she can and she will.

If you say you dislike socialists then you're saying you dislike Canada, Great Britain, Norway, Sweden, Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Spain...well I think you get the idea...you pretty much hate the rest of the civilized world which would make me wonder were exactly you fit.

"Oh, give it a rest. If you think Hillary Clinton is a socialist, then you know nothing about Hillary Clinton and you know nothing about what the word 'socialist' really means. It's a boogie-man word used by Rush and his ilk to scare uninformed people into knee-jerk hate & fear reactions."

Let's face the truth here, Matt.

FACT:

Definition of Socialism: a broad array of doctrines or political movements that visualize a socio-economic system in which property and the distribution of wealth are subject to control by the community for the purposes of increasing social and economic equality and cooperation.

FACT:

In the most recent reports tracking TAXES in America it shows that the top 20% of taxpayers account for 67% of total taxes paid. The remaining 80% account for only 32% of all taxes paid. Hearing this – liberal cry how the top 20% own 90% of the wealth!! NOT TRUE. The top 20% account for 40% of the wealth in this country.

FACT:

Hillary & Co (Charlie Rangel, etc) – are pushing for a myriad of social entitlement programs:

Baby Bonds : $20 Billion/yr
Govt 401-k donation: $50 Billion/yr
SCHIP increase: $35 Billion/ Yr
Universal Healthcare: $100 Billion/ yr (not counting illegals)
Amnesty for Illegal Aliens: Unknown costs

The FACT is – the revenue needed to pay for these programs will NOT come from the lower socio-economic taxpayers but from "the rich" (Top 20%).

This is Robinhood economics (take from the rich to support the poor). However you want to spin it... it is a brand of sociliasm – plain and simple.

A poll like this is an accurate description of the American population.

It is a random sample of voters. It is not being distorted in anyway. A good poll is not biased in any direction, because the people who agree to be surveyed are selected at random.

If you or your friends disagree about the results you are represented by the voters who say she is not a good leader, likaable, etc... Your views are just as represented as the majority who had opposing views.

The Zogby poll is not a sientific poll because people were not selected at random, but simply took the online poll themselves.

'Strong' in Queen Hillary's case is mis-interpreted. What she is, is a very strong minded person whom 'only listens to her misquided, special interest bribe merchants' at the total expense of everyone else ......or else. Get the Clinton sad saga into history, quickly America. PLEASE.

I ama supporter of Hillary because she is the only one I can see that will help my family and I. I am in a lower income household, in Marion County Florida, and I have seen no conservitive mayors, congressmen, or senators help us. We need change, and Hillary is there to provide it.

I think it is interesting, though not necessarily surprising that there is a gender gap in Hillary's "approval ratings" (as it were). I wonder if any previous candidates have shown such a large difference in opinion between men and women. I wonder if these results are due to a real disagreement in politics, because women identify more with her, or because men identify less? I would bet the latter two would come out more in these early polls, as most people aren't faced with actually placing their vote for another 6 months. Perhaps people at this point are focused more on their initial reactions to a candidate, rather than any deep research into a candiate's politics. If that were the case, then it seems to make sense if, initally, the women flock to the female candidate(s), and the men gravitate towards the male. It happens at school dances, why not in politics?

I am a woman who cannot stand Hillary. I do not want our first woman president to be a liar who rode on the coattails of her husband to get to the top.

Hillary is a disgrace to women everywhere.

Matt; Boston, MA

You are right she isnt a socialist as I previously thought. By defenition she is communist. Socialist just sounded more polite.

I am a woman and I dislike Hillary Clinton. Always have. I don't like socialists, no matter what their gender is.

I find this poll entertaining because in my personal life, most women seem to feel this way. I think it is definately time for a good female candidate to run for president. As a matter of fact, we could pick off the first woman and African American in one swipe...Rice.

But moving Hillary into office will cause nothing but an enormous conservative backlash in 4 years. The Clintons have nothing to tout but failed policy. We had 8 years of Bill's failures and shortcomings, why do we want 8 more from the same family? If you could call it a family...it's more like a political team. Has her husband stopped cheating yet? Or does she simply not care? Simply unamerican.

It's really weird that Keating Holland was quoted in this story and also signs it at the bottom. Is that standard practice on CNN? I have never seen that before. Regardless of what your poll says and whether we readers think it is valid, that kind of journalistic practice seems to cast some doubts about your impartiality.

Mary,

So you must earn over $250,000? Why would you call Hillary a socialist? HILLARY IS A PROGRESSIVE. Calling Hillary a socialist is right wing demagoguery. You hate socialists but love warmonger right wing conservatives. Is that the case? We don't want a tax increase but we will burden our grandchildren with a trillion dollar war in Iraq (a country that had nothing to do with 911) from money we borrowed from Saudi Arabia where most of the terrorist were born and where a woman can't vote or drive. Great. Not that Hillary's gender matters, but one would think that a smart sensible woman would vote for the woman who is clearly and empirically the most qualified candidate. People who still hate Hillary, in my opinion, probably hate themselves more so. We need to stop this hating. It is the Hillary haters who make me fear living in America. This brand of pure hate just reminds me of the hate black people experienced in their struggle for basic inalienable rights.

Most Americans will see that Hillary is the most qualified candidate, the most experienced candidate and she's READY TO LEAD.

"Why is it that you never actually know someone who is polled for their opinion?"
– How fitting it is that this is how a typically un-educated Republican supporter thinks. As for the other comment, online surveys are always biased and never trust-worthy because they are not statistical polls with no sampling involved.

Oh please, Clinton care about people? Her drive to the White House is about power and socialism. The White House is for sale and Clinton is trying to hook as many people as she can with the lure of government handouts. What will result is a government redistribution of wealth system and a max exodus of business out of this country.

Oh, give it a rest. If you think Hillary Clinton is a socialist, then you know nothing about Hillary Clinton and you know nothing about what the word 'socialist' really means. It's a boogie-man word used by Rush and his ilk to scare uninformed people into knee-jerk hate & fear reactions.

Clinton is by far the most conservative & pro-business of the Democratic candidates. If you want to dislike her, dislike her because she's an old-school Washington triangulator, and actually represents far too much status quo than the real progressive change we desperately need.

But don't be a victim of the kool-aid. Do your homework and have an informed opinion.

I will vote for Hillary. I think she is best poised to take over and clean up the mess this loser president and his evil sidekick has made over the past two terms. We need to restore our standing in the world, resolve this fiasco in Iraq, restore the middle class, and many other problems that seem to be non-issues for the current administration.

For those of you who have a bug up your a– about never voting for Hillary if she is the Democratic Candidate for President because you don't like her or whatever, really look at who she may be running against. Guilliani? Romney? Yeah thats what we need, more Neo-Cons to continue our mean spirited approach to fellow nations that don't think like we do. The lying about why we are in this occupation in Iraq. The continued threats to go to war with other countries to try and distract us from the messes we are already in. The complete dissolution of the middle class. Oh, and let's not forget the God factor. How abortion and gay marriage will be the end-all of this great country.

All Democrats, Independents, and intelligent Republicans need to band together and vote for the Democratic candidate no matter who it is.
We have too much at stake to allow more of what is going on now.

Ahhh, the social conservatives salivate at the thought of any opportunity to take a swipe at Ms. Clinton. I am male, from the South and religious....and the Senator from New York will get my vote.

thats bull if i ever heard it, i dont know one single person who feels that way. and I live in NY

Regardless of how you spin it, she is a consistant strong front-runner. The Republicans on the other hand are fragmented and polarized with their choices. It is still looking good for Hillary.

I would just ask, Mary, do you even know what a socialist is? If so, . . . nevermind.

In response to the first poster, I would advise researching the definition of socialism and philosophy behind it, as the comment you made would greatly offend any true socialist. To the second poster, online surveys are not scientific and cannot be sited to prove anything except the posters lack of knowledge on how opinion polls work. Online polls are self selective, and participants in them are more likely to carry strong opinions politically. The Zogby site is considered by many Americans to be a conservative polling outlet and as a result, its self selective non-scientific polls are more likely to show a conservative voter bias.

Hey Mary, I don't like fascist conversatives.

Isn't it ironic that this poll showing mindless support for Clinton against her more interesting democratic opponents - comes out on the same day that CNN reports that one third of Americans believe in ghosts, and half believe in ESP?

When folks don't think things through, they get leadership like the Clintons even when someone like Obama is right there in front of them.

Maybe some democrats are checking their horoscopes to determine who to support.

Those pollsters must not be talking to people I know, because I know see her for what she truly is – a manipulative, egocentric, two-faced liar. Some of the things she says are downright scary. She talks about just "tsking money from people and corporation for their own good". And talks about how there has been too much read into "government by the people, for the people".

She truly is a very scary person.

I guess schools in Beaver Pennsylvania don't teach what socialism means...I'm not even for Hillary Clinton and I find the accusation of socialism laughable.

as a man Im proud to say I will not vote for Billary. not because she is a woman, but because she is a socialist. Why didnt she redistribute that million dollars she spent on her birthday party to all the victims she is pandering to.

3.
Who in their right mind would lend credence to a CNN sponsored "gooey pro Hillary " purported poll! What has Hillary ever lead or run to demonstrate leadership of the magnitude America needs? Nice try CNN but most Americans recognize polls as manipulated political propaganda and not worth anything in the big picture!

You don't like socialists no matter their gender, huh? I guess you don't care much for Jesus than, seeing as he was a socialist (help those in need, share your wealth with your brothers and sisters that are in need, love thy neighbor like thy brother, etc etc).

If only more so-called "Christians" actually listened to the words their beloved Jesus spoke, what a much happier, peaceful place we would live in.

I'm a centrist, not a democrat or republican, but I'll vote for Hillary over war-mongering Guiliani any day.

CNN, your love affair with Hillary Clinton is downright sickening!

"Polls show..." = Democrat/Hillary propaganda. I have done my own polling and have found both men and women have very negative views on the whole Clinton non-family unit. The polling done on these left wing newscast are only trying to perpetuate that Billary is well like by both men and women which is a crock.

Apparently the media has failed tell people she's so devisive.

It looks like the more people learn about Hillary, the more they like her. Which must drive the Clinton Haters mad.

Were those 1,212 adult American voters??

This speech moved me, this is why I like Hillary in 08 Quote:
- And when I go out around the country from Manchester, New Hampshire to Pahrump, Nevada — it's an hour outside of Las Vegas in the desert if you look at a map — I am so touched by the people who come out to see me, but there are two groups of people who particularly move me.

One are women in their very late eighties and nineties who come out, they stand sometimes for hours, some are in walkers or wheelchairs, a lot are standing just straight up and when I meet them they put out their hands and they say, "I'm ninety-five years old. I was born before women could vote and I want to live long enough to see a woman in the White House."

And the other are parents who bring their children. And I often hear, as I go through a crowd, a mother or father lean over and whisper into a daughter's ear, “See, honey, in this country, you can be anything you want to be.” And I know how important it is because my mother used to tell me that.

And I want every child, every son and daughter, to believe that. We've got to make that true. We can't let the next generation down. And for me, ultimately, it's not only believing that our children can be anything they want to be, but that our country can be everything it should be. This is a good and great country, let's go out and change things for the better. Thank you!

She made the remarks during her 60th. birtday.

hillary rocks. iam an avid admirer of her and bill. hope you all notice the mud slingeing isnt coming from them. men have made a mess of this world. i believe it will take a woman to restore things to what america was before bush.

If you poll the klan...you can expect racist answers....if you poll the liberal left...you can expect the Hillidiots to pretend people trust her...(CNN seems to have an agenda....anyone think Hillary has chosen Richardson as her VP...you can tell...because they run 4 stories a day about a guy with a 1% share...do you think they asked CNN to do a pro trust issue with Hillary??...just guessing) Hillidiots unite!

The idea that a woman's leadership would be weaker or even different than a man's has no evidence to suppport it. Over a long career in two professions, I have worked for both men and women. I have found that women are just as shallow and self-centered as men. Their goals as leaders are the same: shameless self-promotion and currying favor with those above them. Women, like men, see their subordinates as a means to the next promotion. I even worked for one woman who became infuriated when her secretary refused to bring her coffee, declaring that she would have brought coffee for a male boss.

So, I am sure that Hillary, based on gender alone, is as capable as any other member of the Senate. She certainly would make a better president than the current one. She will probably pay more attention to "women's issues" like equal pay, discrimination, cheap day care, pro-choice, etc. But, the Clintons are taking a LOT of money from a LOT of corporations like all the others. Those corporations do not donate without expecting a favor in return.

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.

Why is it that you never actually know someone who is polled for their opinion?

I am a woman and I dislike Hillary Clinton. Always have. I don't like socialists, no matter what their gender is.

"Most Americans see the senator from New York as a strong leader and a likeable person..." CNN, are you high? You need to correct that to read, "Most Americans POLLED see..." and even then I wouldn't believe it. She is neither strong, nor likeable. The Clinton News Network spins it again.

Decisive or divisive?
Inevitable or inauthentic?
Leader or liar?

How can any politician that needs or raises millions of dollars really care for the little person who's income is only $1500.00 a month? To any of them, $1500.00 is what one plate at one of those fund raisers would cost. Also, why raise millions or why do they need millions for a job that pays only $400,000.00 a year or so? It is power and how much money can they make durning their presidency and after and that goes for anyone of the candidates running as far as I am concerned. I'm so poor, I can't pay attention!!!!!

Are those 1,212 voters?

How can anyone believe that someone is be a strong leader when they also believe that person is not believabile, honest or trustworthy?

Hmmmmm, something's not right here. What could it be....

Given our political system Hillary is probably the best we can hope for.
I strongly urge that we consider changing to the Parliamentary system of government. It will allow us to throwout total incompetents instead of waiting to see how much damage they can do in 4 years.

Was this another one of those land line polls with 335 people?

You dudes need to get a better sampling.

Who are they polling?

I'm a female democrat and I think:

1. She's not likeable.
2. Would not make a strong leader.
3. And laugh at the thought of someone thinking she will work well with both parties.

I think they polled her immediate family.

Yeah sure, CNN. Like we believe anything reported by a corrupt media using corrupt pollers..

Why on earth would we want another dynasty in political office for another eight years? Are Americans that mindless that they refuse to do the research and actually look at the candidates running before they select the winner due to media manipulation and pure name recognition?

This video on you tube is perhaps the most brilliant political comment I've seen on the subject of who's fit to change Washington politics. It's two minutes, tasteful, and worth your time.

Here's the link/; http://youtube.com/watch?v=5c0eLVYbnI4

CNN, I don't know where you are coming up with these figures, but I beg to disagree with you totally. Women are not fooled by Hillary Clinton and will not support her view of democracy. Men are quite turned-off by Hillary Clinton's man-like posturing.

Before people put too much into this story please remember that the company who does CNN's polling for them is one that has donated over $70,000 to either Hillary's Senate or Presidential campaigns and gave the Clintons gifts of over $90,000 in travel over the last year.

PS – Before Hillary supporters mistake me for someone I am not – I am a Democrat and a women.

The series Commander-in-Chief was taken off the air so the American People would not get used to the idea of a woman President.
I'm with you Hillary.

Good for her.

But, she's still not going to get my vote. When I actually try to find out where she stands on the issues I don't see much on her web site compared to other candidates, and then I see her flip flop.

Talking to Iran with no preconditions is Naive and Inexperienced during the debate, but then she says she's talk to Iran with no preconditions later when it suits her.

She's politics for the sake of politics, I don't see any principle there. And as the LA Times point out in their Oct 19 article, she is pretty sleazy when it comes to getting campaign contributions.

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-donors19oct19,0,4231217.story?coll=la-home-center

Considering the amount of sexism that still exists within our country, it is no surprise that more men than women have a negative view on Clinton. Her gender, unlike any other candidate, is in the spotlight. That is why her laugh is so criticized (and would you ever call a male laugh a "cackle"?). Men have always maintained power within the U.S. and it is no minor issue that now a woman might be in command. So some men and women might tell themselves that it is her policy that they disagree with, but undoubtedly subconscious (and sometimes very conscious) sexism rules their judgement. Why else criticize her laugh, or say simply "any woman but her", as if any woman but her really has a better chance. If she were a man, with her track record, strong presence, and amazing ability to lead, she would have no difficult winning. This gender poll just proves that losing the power and privilege that having men rule everything grants to each and every man in our country is on the minds (even if subconsciously) of most men in the U.S. Shame....

I don't believe in polls. The results of polls are skewed because of who is polled, and who does the polling and the type of questions they ask. I detest Hillary. If she can't keep her husband from bonking interns and various other women, how in the world is she going to run the country. She should have threatened to turn Bill from a rooster into a hen the first time he had an affair.
Personally, I don't think she will be good for the country. And if by some unfortunate circumstance she does get elected and this country goes to hell in a handbasket, I'm sure that the Democrats will find a way to blame the republicans. You know, I used to be a Democrat until I grew up and got a brain.
CNN is a bogus news source.

I am supporting Hillary Clinton because she is qualified, determined and speaks to the values of a forward-thinking America.

Every GOP candidate wants to throw stones at her, yet who are they to do so?

GOP expanded government more than President Clinton ever did.

GOP destroyed so many civil liberties that our Founding Fathers would be rolling over in their graves!

GOP lied to get us into a war that they had no understanding of, legitimate rationale for or plan to end (like it or not! That's the truth.).

Every GOP candidates except Ron Paul is proclaiming MORE OF THE SAME in 2009 if they are elected. America and the world cannot afford a third-term for Bush. Romney, Giuliani, McCann and Thompson ALL support the Bush way of thinking.

I look forward to rational people occupying the White House again.

Hillary is doing and saying anything to get VOTES. She HATES the military (Look at her record) and wants to disarm every person in America (except for criminals, she wants to give them free run of America). I heard that she voted against making English the offical language of America, WHY?????
Women are going to vote for her because of her being the first woman president, no matter what happens after she is in office.

I guess this goes to show the Obama camp that people really are starting to see the real Hillary. Her likability is climbing and it's showing. She really is leading the race for the White House and there will finally be a day when Americans will work together again. That is when Hillary Clinton is elected!

If Clinton wants to avoid a gender gap, maybe she should stop referring to her opponents as "those men" in derisive terms. Imagine if my favorite candidate, Barack Obama, referred to the others in the democratic field as "those whites."

She is running a divisive gender-based campaign. It may work, but not without creating unnecessary gender divisions.

I believe Hillary Clinton has to much baggage, personal and otherwise, like how NAFTA got put thru when her husband was President. As a democrat I did not approve of NAFTA going thru as it was the beginning of the outsourcing of our country's jobs. I called and let them know of my disapproval. So, besides all the personal baggage, which I did not care about. The personal baggage did not kill any of our citizens or friends around the world–that was a Family Affair.I am a 77 year old female, always concerned about our country and the politics of the rights and wrongs that have been done. If Mrs. Clinton gets the Democratic nomination I may for the first time in my life stay home on Election day. She was a carpet bagger when she ran for
Senator in New York and she LIED to the people when she was asked about her presidential aspirations, she voted for the war, and recently she voted along with the republicans over a week ago regarding the events by the Turks, etc., etc. The way things are going for our country is the worse I have seen in my lifetime.God Bless our Troops and our Country.

Clinton is a strong leader? Hillary – how about you call on Nancy Pelosi to STOP Thursday's SCHIP revote! Why?

Republican members of Congress have returned to California to aid their constituents suffering losses from the wild fires. Instead of helping, Nancy Pelosi (from California) schedules this vote NOW and refuses to reschedule the vote when all can be present.

Nancy's response? Wildfires are effecting Republican and Democrats.

Hmmm... so Republicans return to their constituents to help... Democrats (ie Nancy) sit in Washington hoping to score a political point on the backs of wildfire victims.

Where is the leadership, Hillary??

I have absolutely NO problem with Hillary's gender. I am not a Republican. I am not a Democrat. I am a realist. Hillary is yet another in a line of predetermined finalists. In clearer terms... yet another heir to the throne of the Presidency of the USA. Get serious people Bush->Clinton->Bush->Clinton. That fact alone shows something is seriously wrong with the USA's election system.

Well this is actually a good article. It means Hillary Clinton can't play the gender card when she loses to Obama in Iowa!

(Though I have to point out that it's strange 63% of America finds her likeable, when there are more than 37% of Americans who are Republicans. It's also strange because EVERY opinion poll up to now has shown her negatives between 45-50%. This poll suggests it's closer to 37%... sounds like a fluke to me...)

Nice to see CNN trot out this same old "poll" of 1212 people. The same poll which previously established THIS group of people were: Pro-Hillary (Hillary trouncing Obama article), Pro-SCHIPS (Majority of Americans want SCHIP), Pro-Illegal Alien (Majority of Americans don't want all illegals kicked out).

NOW you use this same poll to suggest a "large majority of men and women see hear as a strong leader" ???

This is terrible journalism! It's not worthy to be called journalism since you're AWARE of the biased nature of this poll. What it IS called, CNN, is propoganda
