U.S. polls boost Clinton, Obama
WASHINGTON — It’s the question everyone’s asking: are Americans ready to put a woman or a black man in the Oval Office?
If the polls are right, the answers are encouraging for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, frontrunners in the race for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.
In a CBS News poll this week, 92 per cent of Americans said they’d vote for a woman from their own political party if she’s qualified. A smaller number, 55 per cent, said they think the United States is prepared to elect a woman.
The 92% is encouraging, should be 100. I wonder what it would be for a minority candidate?
