FOX News Poll: Most Think Democrats Will Win White House in 2008
Thursday, March 29, 2007
By Dana Blanton

NEW YORK — The latest FOX News poll finds that Americans think the next person to move into the White House will be a Democrat, and while many voters would be enthusiastic or pleased if any one of the current front-runners were to win, one candidate scares more people than the others — Sen. Hillary Clinton.

In addition, voters are twice as likely to say that Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards made the right decision to stay in the race despite his wife Elizabeth’s recent cancer diagnosis.

President Bush’s job approval rating dips a point this week to 33 percent, matching a previous low in approval almost a year ago (33 percent, April 18-19, 2006). Disapproval of the president’s performance has increased to 61 percent — the highest disapproval rating of his presidency.

Opinion Dynamics Corp. conducted the national telephone poll of 900 registered voters for FOX News from March 27 to March 28. The poll has a 3-point error margin.

6. It depends who the nominees are. In my view this is a worthless poll
I believe the point of the poll was to put emphasis if Hillary became the nominee

Personally I think that would be the WORST choice for the Democrats, especially her position on Iraq, which still says that she could see some U.S. presence there for years to come

We have enough candidates who were right on Iraq from the start. We know Iraq was a major issue in the last election. What should be the logical choice?

10. In terms of Hillary, perhaps we should look to the animal kingdom
for guidance: When you have a baby critter that's a mutant or just isn't going to thrive, you eat it to protect the gene pool. Should we be as merciless, and nip this in the bud now? I don't know.

11. It is up to the people, but I don't have much confidence in them
after all they elected bush twice

2006 was a turning point, I believe the people realize more and more how they were taken for a ride

7. Hogwash. It all depends on the nominees
Giuliani leads the Repub nomination polls
Hillary leads the Dem nomination polls
Giuliani beats Hillary in most head to head matchups

8. If FOX is saying its 33 percent...
...the real figures have probably dipped down into Herbert Hoover territory.

I sure hope half of the country is kicking itself right now.

9. Do the Republicans really want to win the White House in 2008?
This is the first time in History that an outgoing President will leave with everything a total mess.They want the Democrats to manage the clean up.
The Democratic nominee will be the next President..
