Despite the Left's best efforts to convince the country otherwise, not all women want to elect Mrs. Clinton. Many of us--especially those of us who are female--already know this, but now there's some proof:
A national survey of women voters this week revealed that Hillary Clinton has a long way to go before she can claim the “women’s vote.” In fact the poll, commissioned by the Susan B. Anthony List (www.sba-list.org), found that while Clinton enjoys support among women voters, her support is underwhelming at best.
The Susan B. Anthony List press release continues:
Forty percent of the women said they could conceivably vote for Hillary in ’08. Another 30% would vote for “a woman” in 2008, but not “the woman” who is actually running. Some 16% would back a woman in a future election beyond 2008, and only 7% foreclosed the possibility far into the future.
It gets even better:
The poll revealed that Hillary’s positions on abortion were at odds with a majority of American women. When voters were asked the following questions, Clinton was clearly out of step and here’s why:
*73% of women said they would be less likely to vote for a presidential candidate if they voted against a law that would have made it a criminal act for an adult to take a girl younger than 18 years of age across state lines for the purposes of obtaining an abortion without her parents’ knowledge. Hillary Clinton voted against this law twice in 2006.
*64% of women voters would be less likely to vote for a presidential candidate who voted against the partial-birth abortion ban. Hillary Clinton voted against the partial-birth abortion ban four times.
*68% of women are less likely to vote for a presidential candidate if they support taxpayer-funded abortion. Yet, Hillary Clinton has pledged to provide taxpayer funding for American’s number one abortion provider, Planned Parenthood.
Congratulations, ladies of America, for making smart decisions. Thanks to Townhall.com partner group Susan B. Anthony List for sponsoring this survey.
