Poll: No Need for Apology from Hillary

March 1, 2007 · Leave a Comment


From Election Central at the TMP Cafe we get this interesting report.

Some new poll numbers suggest that the conventional wisdom — which holds that Hillary Clinton will suffer badly in the primary from her war vote and unwillingness to call it a mistake — may be questionable or even wrong.

The new numbers are buried in the big survey released this week by the Washington Post. Democrats were asked whether given “what was known at the time,” it was the right thing for Hillary to vote for war authorization, or whether it was a mistake. A surprising 52% said her vote was the right thing to do at the time, versus only 47% who said it was a mistake.

What’s more, when even those who said it was a mistake were then asked if Hillary should apologize, a mere 31% said yes. And guess how many said an apology wasn’t necessary? Sixty-eight percent. And remember, these are potential Democratic primary voters.

Stick to your guns, Girl!
