Just 37% of voters nationwide think that Hillary Clinton wants Barack Obama to win the White House this November. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 33% disagree and say that Clinton does not want an Obama victory. Thirty percent (30%) are not sure. A plurality of women (39%) think Clinton is rooting for Obama while a plurality of men (40%) disagree. Fifty-six percent (56%) of Democrats think the former First Lady wants the man who wrestled the nomination away from her to win it all. So do 20% of Republicans and 27% of unaffiliated voters. Forty-four percent (44%) of Democrats think Clinton should be named as Obama’s Vice Presidential running mate. That’s down slightly from 51% immediately after Obama clinched the nomination. Just 24% of unaffiliated voters think Clinton should be on the ticket while 52% disagree. If Obama wins, 73% of Democratic voters say that Hillary Clinton should be considered for a Cabinet position. However, just 41% of Democrats think that former President Bill Clinton should have a role in an Obama Administration. On that last point, 49% of Democrats say no to Bill. Unaffiliated voters are evenly divided as to whether Hillary Clinton should be considered for a Cabinet position. But, just 18% of unaffiliateds want Bill Clinton to have a role and 75% are opposed to the idea. Hillary Clinton is now viewed favorably by 52% of all voters nationwide and unfavorably by 45%. Sixty-one percent (61%) of women have a favorable opinion of her along with 42% of men. She earns positive reviews from 69% of African-American voters and 48% of White voters. The New York Senator continues to do well with those on the lower ends of the income scale—among those who earn less than $40,000 a year, she is viewed favorably by 63%. Among those with incomes over $75,000 annually, her favorable ratings fall to 45%. See survey questions and toplines. Crosstabs are available to Premium Members only.
