Clinton’s Favorability Problem
Posted on April 1, 2008 at 7:43 am by Steve Lombardo
While Hillary Clinton is performing well in pre-election polls in Pennsylvania it is worth noting that her “negatives” have risen over the last 30 days. While a recent Gallup poll shows the Senator with 53% favorable and 44% unfavorable – a 9% net positive — others show her closer to a 1 to 1 ratio of favorable/unfavorable. Yes, this is among all voters but it demonstrates her general election problem.
For example a CBS poll in mid-March showed Clinton at 39% favorable and 41% unfavorable. Our averaging of the last 4 national polls shows Clinton with nearly 45% unfavorable. It is very difficult for her to sustain this level of unfavorable opinion and convince superdelgates that she should win the nomination.
