Hillary and Obama Supporters Both Sour on Rival
So Susan can tell me to man up all she wants. This new poll bears out my worry (despite political speak of candidates saying everything’s gonna be alright):
WASHINGTON (AP) — Voters increasingly dislike the Democratic presidential candidate they are not supporting, according to a new survey and exit polls, raising questions about the party’s White House chances as Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama’s contentious nomination battle drags on.
The Associated Press-Yahoo survey shows Obama supporters with negative views of the former first lady have grown from 35% in November to 44% this month — including one-quarter with very unfavorable feelings. Obama backers who do not like Clinton say they would vote for Republican candidate John McCain over her by a 2-to-1 ratio.
Among Clinton supporters, those with unfavorable views of Obama have risen from 26% to 42% during the same period — with negative opinions doubling to 20%. Those with unfavorable views say they would vote for McCain over Obama by a 3-to-1 ratio, though many have not made up their minds.
It’s getting pretty toxic. I will say this. I doubt very seriously that I’ll vote for Clinton should she be the nominee. I probably wouldn’t actively work against her, but will
