Poll: Old Ladies, Young Republicans Still Hate Hillary

So today’s New York Times/CBS News poll has a few choice stats on our lady of Chappaqua, Hillary Rodham Clinton. (Or is it just Hillary Clinton? Or H. Diddy? One loses track.) First, the obvious: Republican men can’t stand the woman. Only 9 percent of them view her favorably, though, interestingly, a full 21 percent of “conservative” men like her. We suppose this means that Rupert Murdoch likes her but Karl Rove does not. (We are aware this may not be news; we report, you decide.)
Among women, the poll shows that the older she is, the less she loves the former First Lady: While 47 percent of women under 45 like Hillary, that number drops to 46 percent for those aged 45 to 64 and then off a pollster’s cliff to a mere 40 percent for those 65 and older. Single chicks dig Hillary, at 53 percent, but only 39 percent of those trapped in marriage feel the same. Working-class ladies making less than $50,000 give Hill the thumbs-up 51 percent of the time, versus a mere 42 percent of those more fortunate. This leads to the conclusion that if you’re a 70-year-old biddy sitting on a nice little cash pile, you’ve got less time for the advancement of women than you do for the tax cuts of Republicans. To each her own. —Duff McDonald
