The People Are Speaking

Considering that Bill Clinton never did ANYTHING without first checking recent polling data, I figured we might as well continue with more recent polling data.

In a recent Siena College/Hearst newspapers poll, 44% of respondents now say that Senator Clinton should NOT run in 2008. That's almost 10 points higher than the 37% last year. The number of respondents that believe Senator Clinton should still run has dropped to 51% from 53%.

Now, asking the same questions to respondents about Condoleeza Rice yields different results. A year ago, 42% said that Condi should run. However, this year, that has risen to 48%. The number of respondents saying she should NOT run has dropped from 41% to 39%.

Interesting... The angry Senator Clinton that seems ever present in the media these days just doesn't seem to be helping the poll numbers. I guess it's back to the drawing board.

37% and 44%....

Possible 3% +/-

Yields:

Last year = 34% say she shouldn't run
This year = 47% say she shouldn't run
