40% Would Vote to Keep Hillary From Becoming President

Rasmussen has an interesting poll that suggests that 40% of voters would use their vote to prevent Hillary Clinton from becoming president, regardless of who her opponent is:
Forty percent of Americans say they would vote to keep Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton from winning the presidency, more than twice the total for their No. 2 "anti-" pick, former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani.

In a new Fox 5-The Washington Times-Rasmussen Reports survey, 64 percent of Republicans, 42 percent of third-party or independent voters, and 17 percent of Democrats said the candidate they most want to keep from the White House is Mrs. Clinton.

"Hillary Clinton is better known than any [other] presidential candidate on either side. She has a lot of people who love her and a lot of people who hate her," said Scott Rasmussen, who conducted the poll.

While Mrs. Clinton performed poorly among most demographics, younger male voters were particularly cold. More than half of the adult men younger than 40 said they would use their vote to keep Mrs. Clinton from returning to the White House.
This is why Hillary is such a crapshoot in the general election. With such high negatives she has to hope she can win almost all of the remaining votes to win a general election - not a likely scenerio. I think a lot of Democrat voters, aware of her potential problems in a general election, will decide to look elsewhere when it finally becomes time to cast a vote. They're desperate not to lose the White House again.
