Anyway whatever wich is the more accurate version I' ll just answer with: " Please.. A Real Primary Not A Coronation".

(68,644 posts)The same things that make Clinton's numbers high among the general population also make her weak.

(10,044 posts)pretty please?
Does Hillary's low number exceed the amounts polled for the various Republican candidates, one by one, or does it exceed the TOTAL received by all Republican candidates. Assuming that they will all vote for one nomineee after their convention, I am interested in the total votes received by candidates, not individual ones.
Using this method, does she still poll ahead of them?
Thanks..

(30,481 posts)It is something I have never understood. I can't grasp that the idea of how a frontrunner equals a coronation in your mind. I don't get how you make the leap. The poll you link to does show how strong of a frontrunner she is. They had to work to come up with something negative to say. Really good news for our party in the poll.
This is called a frontrunner.
"Clinton does even better in the expectations game: Seventy-two percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents say they expect her to win her partys nomination. On the far more closely contested GOP side, a third of leaned Republicans expect Bush to win."
Really just tons of good news for Hillary in your link.
"That said, Clintons position vs. Bush is distinctly better than Obamas vs. Mitt Romney at about this time in 2011, 48-44 percent."
"Clintons decline in favorability may have been predictable, in that its occurred as shes moved from being the nations top diplomat back to the partisan world of a presidential campaign."
In a final fuck you to right wingers.
"THE FAMILY Clinton has further help from the family. A remarkable 73 percent of Americans now say they approve of the way her husband handled his job as president from 1993-2001 Bill Clintons highest retrospective rating on record, as well as higher than any he received while in office. Far fewer, 47 percent, approve of the way Bushs brother, George W. Bush, handled his presidency from 2001-2009."
