USA Today Poll: Majority Would Vote for President Hillary NewsMax.comFor the first time, a majority of Americans say they are likely to vote for Hillary Clinton if she runs for president in 2008, a new USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll reveals. In the poll, 29 percent of respondents said they were "very likely" to vote for Clinton, and another 24 percent were "somewhat likely," while 7 percent were "not very likely" and 39 percent were "not at all likely" to vote for the senator from New York. Story Continues Below Those saying they are virtually certain to vote against her topped those nearly certain to support her by 10 percent, showing that Clinton still elicits powerful feelings from those who oppose her. Among women, 60 percent said they were likely to vote for her, while only 45 percent of men said the same. Her strong support has risen by 8 percentage points since the same question was asked in June 2003, USA TODAY reports. "This may reflect that she has been recasting her image as a more moderate person," said Andrew Kohut, director of the non-partisan Pew Research Center. Clinton is running for a second term in the Senate next year. When asked by CNN when she has to make a decision on the 2008 presidential race, she said, "I'm not even ... remotely considering that." In the new poll of 517 adults, two out of three voters under age 30 were likely to support her, compared to fewer than half of those 50 and older.
