Hillary Clinton Polling Disaster Continues

The start to 2006 has been a mixed bag for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.  She will likely win re-election in New York State come November, but as she looks towards a probable 2008 presidential run; she is coming up with some abysmal numbers.

The latest come from the American Research Group and line up the potential McCain-Hillary 2008 Presidential race for individual states.  It's ugly for Clinton, as she even comes up well short in Massachusetts.

The Numbers:

South Carolina
McCain 52%
Hillary 32%

Maine
McCain 46%
Hillary 42%

New Hampshire
McCain 52%
Hillary 32%

Vermont
McCain 47%
Hillary 38%

Massachusetts
McCain 48%
Hillary 39%

Connecticut
Hillary 49%
McCain 39%

Rhode Island
McCain 44%
Hillary 40%

***

The Electoral College Scoreboard on those seven states would give John McCain a 35-7 edge.

The poll notes that Hillary easily wins the democratic nomination from all of the northeastern states.

How bad is it?  Joan Vennochi ends her Sunday column for the Boston Globe this way:

Who makes you feel safer?  Hillary Clinton or John McCain?
