AP/Yahoo Poll: Hillary tops in every personal quality viewed as most important...

[SaveElmer]

By voters...

Note the very small MoE on this poll

Horserace

Hillary 48
Obama 22
Edwards 13

Which candidate is the most likable? On the Republican side, Giuliani gets the nod, both from GOP voters and among voters overall. None of the Democratic candidates has a clear advantage among Democratic voters, with Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards running about even. But in a sheer popularity contest, pitting the most likable Democrat vs. the best-liked Republican, it would be Obama over Giuliani, 54 percent to 46 percent.

Ask voters which qualities are most important, though, and they put likability well down the list. They attach far more importance to being honest, ethical, decisive and strong.


...

The survey of 2,230 adults was conducted Nov. 2-12 by Knowledge Networks and had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2.1 percentage points. The survey included 1,049 Democrats, for whom the margin of sampling error was plus or minus 3 points, and 827 Republicans, for whom the margin of sampling error was plus or minus 3.4 points. Unlike most Internet polls, this one is nationally representative because people are first contacted using traditional telephone polling methods, and are then followed using online interviews. People selected for the study who do not already have Internet access are provided with Internet access for free.

1. But another question is, which candidate will hold the current Administration's...

feet to the fire and help bring them to justice and will lay odds that it would not be HRC.

[joeybee12]

4. It won't be any of them...

...so don't hold your breath.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

2. That's remarkable. More decisive than Rudy, stronger than McCain, More honest and ethical than Obama

[Basileus Basileon]

6. I'm not surprised on the first two (she's been aiming for that for years), but I am on the last two.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

7. In fairness, it's positive identification, not comparative, so name rec. helps

[SaveElmer]

8. I am surprised a bit by the Strength number...

vis a vis McCain

5. it's interesting that they appear

to be following those Polled over several months as candidate information becomes more prevalent and then seeing how the numbers -- and preferences -- change and shift. More interesting to me than the simple snapshot Poll we're often handed.

9. i usually don't question poll results

but that's just odd.

[K Gardner]

10. Yes, and she's just been endorsed by Bush.

Wonder why the Republicans want to see her run so badly? Hmmm...

[ronnykmarshall]

11. Endorsed by Bush?

Yeah right?

Try again.

[LakeSamish706]

12. Here you go....

14. Thats not an endorsement - he said she will lose the generals

Sorry but your making yourself look silly.

[LakeSamish706]

19. So you think this endorsement is not an endorsement .. Well thats the best your going to ...

get from Georgie boy and spouse... But hey you haven't gotten much difference from the MSM since Hillary announced her candidacy ... So I don't think this makes me look silly at all, it simply tells you what the game of both GWB and the Republicans (which includes Faux Noise) want the people to swallow.... I believe that they think their best case scenario of Democratic Candidates is HRC to run there (poor excuse of candidates) against.

26. Rush Limbaugh plugged an Edwards fund raising drive today n/t

[ronnykmarshall]

15. yeah .... try again

and maybe warsh your hands after you pull something else out of your ass.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

13. Wonder why you post lies? Hmmm...

A prediction is not an endorsement, except on DU, apparently.

[ronnykmarshall]

17. and a newbee to boot.

[LakeSamish706]

21. Give your head a shake with your newbie crap.... shit.. That is lame... n/t

[ronnykmarshall]

22. Not as lame as the fucking "endorsement" shit.

[LakeSamish706]

23. It's absolutely lame... Bush made an endorsement in the way he does...

everything else... If you can't see that, its your problem not mine.... He wants a HRC candidate, and he would probably welcome her Presidency... Because he feels that he and his crooks would skate away unscathed from the crimes they have committed.. And I happen to agree with him on this...

[ronnykmarshall]

25. Yeah OK

Keep spinning that shit.

[K Gardner]

24. Wonder why some people don't get the concept of "tongue in cheek"? If I said, it's raining

cats and dogs, would you look up?

I'll try to be VERY PRECISE, concrete and straightforward from here on out, so as not to confuse anyone with obscure linguistic or grammatical concepts :-)

[Cameron27]

16. Idiotic and untruthful

18. A poll shown on Hardball shows that Hillary is viewed as less

trustworthy than either Edwards or Obama. It was even worse among women voters.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

20. Washington Post Iowa likely caucus goers poll

27. K&R

For the morning people

[Tellurian]

28. Yep, sounds about right. Obama all hype and Edwards all trash!
