In reply to the discussion: OMG after watching HRC on CNN... We HAVE to get her elected [View all]karynnj
(59,498 posts)111. Sorry, I don't know the approval numbers you are referring to
I would assume that Clinton's approval numbers, if even polled recently, would be high among Democrats. However, that would change if she were actively running.
I stated as speculation that if a president needed to step down or not run, age might be a greater concern at that point. Whether that would be true or not is not provable and completely unrelated to approval numbers.

What in the world are you talking about? Hillary isn't running, doesn't want to run. Biden is.

She lost and I think would lose again. You always run the incumbent if you want to to win.

No, 80 is not the new 60. There come a time when the younger generations have to step in.

She would turn 85yo in her first term if she ran and won in 2028. And no, 80 is not the new 60.

Biden's VERY likely running in 2024, Harris will be his VP, so 2028 is the soonest Hillary could run

I don't trust polls this far out. There is also a problem with this vs a head to head poll

They hated her when Bill was president. It only got worse. She was the best First Lady ever.

Do you ever wonder why Biden didn't pick her as his VP? She was certainly more qualified

Dropping Harris would be bad optics, particularly to the most loyal part of the Democratic base.
