A Little Bit More Good News For Hillary

Posted on the 19 January 2014 by Jobsanger
Now that President Obama is in his second term, the question of whether this country would elect a minority to be our president has been emphatically answered. He was not only elected but re-elected, proving his initial election was not a fluke but the will of the voters. But another question remains. Are the people of the United States ready for a woman to be president?
The answer to that is contained in a recent Rasmussen Poll (conducted on January 13th and 14th of a random sample of 1,000 likely voters nationwide, and with a margin of error of 3 points). It turns out that not only are a big majority of Americans ready for a woman to be president, but a whopping 77% of them expect it to happen within the next 10 years.
This is very good news for Hillary Clinton, who is the only woman who currently has a viable chance to be elected to that office. Only 18% say there won't be a woman president within 10 years -- and I suspect they are die-hard teabaggers who know if it happens it will be Hillary Clinton. They are afraid that Hillary would have some long coattails, and could bring a lot of new down ballot Democrats into office with her -- and they're probably right about that.
