"Hillary Clinton may not have won the Democratic nomination, but she appears to have won the hearts of American women," said pollster Mickey Blum of Blum & Weprin Associates. "Palin appeals to a much smaller group."

Nearly three times as many women think Clinton would do a better job dealing with the economy and with foreign leaders, and women are twice as likely to say they trust Clinton than Palin.

Clinton even beats Palin, a mother of five, in the parenting department - 35% think Clinton has been a better mother, compared to 24% who picked Palin.

"I think there is probably a Chelsea factor there," said Shezoom.com CEO Stacey Artandi, noting that many voters see the Clinton's 28-year-old daughter as a poised young woman "who is very much a reflection of Hillary."
