Give it some time. We hear so much about her high negatives, yet she's still polling ahead of any named Republican, and she polls higher than a generic "Republican Candidate."

I think a year ago people thought she'd have no chance in the general -- I think it's a big mistake for anyone to assume she has little chance in the general election any longer...she's debating her way into the White House...and just wait until she gets against whichever bumbling fool the Repubs nominate. Guarantee you she will school that person in every debate.

dream on, polls at this point mean nothing. no one is paying any attention.
if she becomes the apparent nominee the republians will start to poll better, and once in the spotlight her negatives will go up again. don't be surprised if someone you consider a unappealing bumbling dope beats her in the general election handily. i don't even think the Dem nomination is a lock for her, although its looking stronger. things have a way of shifting once actual votes are cast.

She'll do just fine, there isn't a Republican candidate with fewer problems than she has. Not one. Their negatives will skyrocket once they get in the spotlight, because with the exception of Giuliani, the majority of the country (the portion that votes but doesn't pay attention in the years in between) has NO IDEA who any of them are or what they're all about.

Normally, I would think that the guaranteed schooling she serves up to whoever challenges her in the debates (really, there's not one Republican candidate who could intellectually/politically go toe to toe with her in a live debate) would make her even more appealing to voters and increase her positives, but then again I tend to forget that being intelligent and well-spoken was only a requirement for being president last century.

i know she polls in the lead, as does guliani--but like jim said (and i said) it's dammed early....and her negative #'s are high too. long ways to go--and way too soon to tell. but i think obama has hurt himself, and it looks like mitt romney is doing better. but the polls have the two with the most name recognition in the lead, which makes perfect sense right now.
i'm waiting for a year from now!

i like some things hillary has said, but she is too socialist-leaning for me. guliani has said some things i agree with, but....i don't trust him at all.
