Hillarysworld

Some facts to consider:

1. If these folks had polled a bunch of PUMAs, how many of us would still identify ourselves as Democrats? I always tell pollsters I am an indie and I'm sure there are others among us who do likewise. Some even identify as Pubs now, even though they would support Hillary over any GOP candidate.

2. Hillary has been largely out of the public eye for nearly two years now. She does the Sunday morning talk shows once every four months or so, but that's the only time most Americans see or hear from her. The mainstream media doesn't cover her work as SOS. Just take a look at the articles posted right here on this forum-- the best ones tend to come from foreign news sources. But most Americans don't read those articles or visit the same blogs where we all hang out. They're not really interested in foreign policy, they're too worried about keeping a roof over their collective heads. To them, it must feel as if Hillary has gone away on an extended business trip. I'm sure her numbers would go up if she were to declare her candidacy and then make a round of TV appearances where she outlined her plan to fix the economy.

3. As the Admin at Hillary is 44 pointed out, it's bad news for Obama that Gallup is even doing this poll at all. It means that people are beginning to think the unthinkable.

4. When the media characterized the Tea Party as uneducated/backward/stupid, it only added fuel to their fire. The same is likely to hold true among the Hillary supporters.

That Fox poll is virtually a tie. And again, we have to consider that Hillary has barely been on TV whereas Obama and Palin are both on TV constantly and they each have at least one of the cable news networks actively promoting them and their agenda.
