No wonder the New York Times is running fluff pieces on Hillary Clinton's attempt to 'Cultivate the Military.'  The former First Lady and current frontrunner for the presidential nomination for the Democratic Party has some very high negatives that she will need to overcome if she is nominated.  According to a new poll, Hillary Clinton has half the country against her - literally.

A report from The Hill details points to a Harris Interactive poll released Tuesday that shows that 50% of those polled will not vote for Hillary if she is nominated.  Paging Ross Perot.

The report notes that more than one in five Democrats that participated in the survey said they would not vote for Clinton. Overall, 36 percent say they would vote for the former first lady and 11 percent are unsure of their top choice.

She's also struggling with independent voters.  Forty-eight percent of Independent voters also said that they would choose another candidate over Clinton, the poll, which surveyed 2,223 potential voters, states.

Continuing:  Fifty-six percent of men said that they would not vote for Clinton, while 45 percent of women said that she would not be their pick. In addition, 69 percent of those 62 and older said that they would not vote for Clinton.

Nearly half of the respondents said that they dislike Clinton’s political opinions and Clinton as a person. Fifty-two percent of people also said that “she does not appear to connect with people on a personal level.”
