Who Are Voters Ruling Out Most? USA TODAY/Gallup Poll


Who Are Voters Ruling Out Most?

(Nov. 8) - More than eight in 10 Republicans and more than half the married men in a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll say they definitely wouldn't vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton for president.

The poll provides an early snapshot of who's ruling out Clinton, John Edwards and Barack Obama, the three leading candidates for the Democratic nomination.

Clinton, who tops national polls of Democrats, is strongest within her party. Only 10% of Democrats said they'd rule her out; nearly three times as many said they wouldn't vote for Edwards.

The new poll found that Clinton would defeat the leading Republican, Rudy Giuliani, in a hypothetical matchup. Still, some Democrats wonder whether she's potentially unelectable or a drag on candidates lower on the ballot, and rivals such as Edwards say they're better bets.

In a general election, the poll suggests that Clinton has the least potential for winning votes from Republicans - 84% say they definitely would not vote for her, compared with six in 10 for either Obama or Edwards. Independents show the least resistance to Obama and the most to Edwards.

1. Bloomberg Closed Its Money/Politics Show Tonight...
... with that poll.

I wasn't surprised to see Romney topping the list, with 56% saying they'd never vote for him.

2. Since republicans have been swift boating here for 20 years what would you expect of them.
And we know men are so macho...enthralled in themselves....they wouldn't vote for her. They have screwed this country up for so damn long, they couldn't stand it if a woman showed them how to make it work again.
