Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) is more qualified to be President, a new poll indicated yesterday. Forty-five percent of voters said Rice has the most juice, while 29% named Clinton and 23% picked Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), the incoming House speaker, in the survey by Quinnipiac University pollsters. But 56% of voters polled said Clinton has the chops to be commander in chief, while 50% called Rice qualified. Forty-seven percent of those polled said Pelosi is not up to the job. "The Constitution says [Pelosi] is the most powerful woman in the country.... But American voters go with [Rice and Clinton] as more powerful and ... qualified for the top job," said Maurice Carroll, head of the polling institute.

Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., with respect to presidential leadership, according to a recent poll. A Quinnipiac University survey revealed 45 percent of voters think Rice has the most power and influence. Clinton trailed with 29 percent and House of Representatives Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., captured 23 percent. However, when asked who is the most qualified to serve as commander in chief, Clinton topped the poll with 56 percent. Rice came in second with 50 percent approval. A full 47 percent do not think Pelosi is qualified to lead from the White House. The poll showed Democrats split with 34 percent for Clinton, 33 percent for Rice and 30 percent for Pelosi. Republicans go with Rice by a large majority over Clinton, 60 to 22 percent, and only 15 percent for Pelosi. Independent voters back Rice at 43 percent, with 29 percent for Clinton and 24 percent for Pelosi. One would wonder where they got their polling results from of course the same people. What was told and what was not tells us a lot though about the two news sources. Also you cannot help but wonder where the hell this polling took place. Here look at the numbers. If all this is true then we know America has shown time and time again that the general public is split almost straight down the middle Republican to Democrat 50/50. Where the hell and who the hell did they poll? We are looking at a 40 percent loss for Clinton amongst the Republicans. Hillary suffers a little better then ten percent loss from the Independents. The Democrats only have Hillary winning by a mere percent point. But the results show Hillary favored by 6 Percent over all? Something is not right here apparently the second group of quotes were referring to the power spread not the presidential spread. But what I want to see is the political affiliation spread.
