    James of OTB had the Bill v. Dubya poll numbers last week, now ABC news tries
    Hill v. Dubya:

    But among the broader public she trails by 24 points in a head-to-head general election matchup against President Bush, 58 percent to 34 percent. Six in 10 men and 55 percent of women favor Bush. And Bush wins support from 92 percent of Republicans, while Mrs. Clinton wins far fewer Democrats (67 percent). Independents prefer Bush by 55-31 percent.

    There are, however, some interesting inform in the poll. One being that Democrats prefer Hillary over any of the Nine Dwarves, which strikes me an indicative as how bad off the Democratic Party is right now. When the nominating base would prefer someone other than any of the candidates running, this is indicative of some seriopus dissatisfaction.

    This is also interesting, and argues for why Hillary could never be elected President:

    While 44 percent of Americans express a favorable opinion of Mrs. Clinton, 48 percent view her unfavorably — an unusually high negative rating, and an unusually strong one. More than twice as many people view her "strongly" negatively as strongly positively. And she's no more popular among women than among men.

    Mrs. Clinton's popularity largely is limited to Democrats, and is countered, and exceeded in intensity, by her unpopularity among Republicans. Sixty percent of all Republicans, and 71 percent of conservative Republicans, view her strongly unfavorably. By contrast, just 32 percent of all Democrats, and 42 percent of liberal Democrats, view her strongly favorably. (Moreover, conservative Republicans outnumber liberal Democrats by 2-1.)

    Not much of a gender gap there. 60 - 55. That should be the really, really indicative number for the Hill.
