Approval: 27%

And disapproval of a whopping 43%. It's simply impossible to understand how a serious politician can survive these sorts of poll numbers. They indicate that the public has no confidence, and is fed up.

What? The President? Heck no. He's chugging along at about 47/52, hardly surprising when you have a job that requires you actually to do things.

Nope, the 27/43 are Hillary Clinton's "Definitely Vote For" and "Definitely Vote Against" numbers in the latest Rasmussen Poll when voters were asked whether they'd vote for her if she runs for president in 2008.

Another 23% allow as how they'll wait and see who she's running against before deciding. If the Republican candidate has a measurable pulse, we figure those undecideds will split about 75/25 against Hilly.
