Reply #60: Americans 'likely' to vote for Hillary Clinton

[T_i_B]

The fact that this story is in such a RW source alone makes it a bit fishy to me IMHO.

Hillary Clinton, one of America's most prominent and yet polarising politicians, received two fillips yesterday to boost her supporters' hopes that she is the Democrats' best chance to take back the White House.

An opinion poll has for the first time indicated that a majority of Americans would be "likely" to vote for the former First Lady.

Mrs Clinton, now a senator for New York, had significantly broadened her support in the past two years, according to the Gallup poll, apparently reflecting her shift to the centre on key domestic and foreign policy issues.

Fuelling her supporters' delight, a former aide was acquitted in court last night of under-reporting the cost of a fund-raising reception for her 2000 Senate campaign.
