Can New York U.S. Senator, and Former First Lady of the United States, Hillary Clinton really win the White House and become the first female president? Recent polling data show her well on her way to becoming the 1st woman president. New General Election Match-up Polls have her leading all of the GOP frontrunners, but Rudy Giuliani. Clinton now is seen as the presumptive nominee of the Democrats with a 20-point nationally and her leads in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina growing. Barack Obama and John Edwards are doing poorly in trying to stop her rise to becoming the 1st woman nominated by a major political party. Hillary Clinton now leads in Battleground states of Missouri Arkansas, California, Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illionis, and New York (againsit Rudy) which if she carried all the other states Kerry carried in 2004 she would have the neccessary votes to win the presidency. Currently if the GOP nominates Mitt Romney, Hillary Clinton may cruise into the White House. National Polls have her defeating Romney by double digits and he is losing even in the red state Colorado to her according to Rasmussen. Another possible GOP loss would be the nominating of Fred Thompson who loses Ohio and Florida to Clinton and those 2 states decided the past 2 elections. Only Rudy Giuliani and John McCain seem to have the polling power to defeat Hillary. McCain polls poorly in the GOP but wins Ohio Oregon, Michigan, Wisconsin, Missouri and early ARG polls had him defeating her in NH and New jersey but isn't likely now. Rudy Giuliani loses his homestate of NY by wide margins, however he also wins over Florida, Ohio, and several New England states. Even with this Rudy is neck and neck in polls with Hillary Clinton. Hillary's favorablitliy numbers are higher than her husband's and President Bush's before they won their elections to office. Hillary certainly has the fundraising, and the media attention to win the White House. Also having a Former President on the campaign with her helps gain support. The Comeback Kid has a few roots in NH and other early states and won the White House twice before so having Bill Clinton on the campaign gives her a plus. The attacks she has been recieving is as if she is the incumbant running for re-election and thats how her opponents see her. To sum this up we should really keep an eye on the Hill campaign, because she seems to be skyrocketing to becoming the first women in the Oval Office.
