Thread Name: BS: Hillary's poll numbers down.
Subject: RE: BS: Hillary's poll numbers down.
My personal feelings from this side of the Atlantic are that Hillary Clinton is by far the best candidate but, as I'm a UK citizen and have no vote, my opinion is somewhat irrelevant.

However I've never seen such a negative campaign against anyone since Blair was demon eyesd and you guys are supposed to be on the same side even!

I don't seem to be alone in these thoughts.....

The recent CBS poll which showed Hillary Clinton ahead of her democratic opponent Barack Obama also commented on the 'Media Treatment Of The Candidates'

'Voters say the media have been harder on Clinton than on the other presidential candidates. Thirty-one percent of registered voters say the media have been harder on Clinton than the others, while 15 percent feel the media have been hardest on Obama and 14 percent say the same of McCain.

Twenty-eight percent say the media have been easiest on Obama, while just 13 percent say the same of Clinton. Women especially think Clinton has been treated harsher than the other candidates, with 39 percent taking that position.

And thirty-nine percent of African Americans think the media has been hardest on Clinton. Just 24 percent of African Americans say this about Obama'
