Clinton favourite for White House
From correspondents in Washington

SENATOR Hillary Clinton is the favourite among Democratic voters to be the party's candidate in the 2008 presidential election, a new poll shows.

But only 12 per cent of Democrat voters believe the wife of former president Bill Clinton can overcome the hostility of US Republicans to take the White House, according to the Financial Dynamics poll for The Hotline political newsletter.

The New York senator had support from 38 per cent of Democrats, a 24 percentage point lead over nearest rival Senator John Kerry, the losing Democratic candidate in the 2004 election.

Snip...

But Mrs Clinton is a divisive figure. Many conservatives dislike her because of her attempts to influence policy while her husband was president.

The poll showed Senator John McCain was the leading Republican candidate among Democrats.

Fifty-five per cent of the 603 people surveyed had a favourable view of the Vietnam War veteran who fought George W. Bush for the Republican candidacy in 2000, a higher rating than many Democratic party chiefs received.

The poll, conducted from April 19-23, had a margin of error of four percentage points.

These are similar to the results posted in the past, but Clinton is losing ground on other Democrats.

On McCain, WTF?
