Although it's obviously a long time from now, a new CNN/Gallup poll doesn't look good for Hillary.

I can't find this on CNN.com yet, so I'm assuming Drudge got this from an inside source, and it will be out sometime this evening (maybe already on TV?)

Anyway, this from the Drudge Report:

CNNGALLUP SHOCK POLL: ONLY 16% FIRM ON HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT Wed Jan 25 2006 10:50:26 ET

Most voters now say there's no way they'd vote for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton if she runs for president in 2008 - while just 16 percent are firmly in her camp, a stunning new poll shows.

CNNGALLUP found that 51 percent say they definitely won't vote for Clinton (D-N.Y.) in 2008, another 32 percent might consider it, and only 16 percent vow to back her. That means committed anti-Hillary voters outnumber pro-Hillary voters by 3-1. The poll suggests she can forget about crossover votes - 90 percent of Republicans and 75 percent of conservatives say there's no way they'd back her.

Meanwhile, 46% said they would oppose Secretary of State Rice if she ran for President - a step Rice has repeatedly said she won't take.

END

How awesome is that!? 51% definitely won't vote for her. Admittedly the 46% who wouldn't vote for Secretary of State Condoleezza, doesn't look great, but there are two important points to add to that. One Drudge already mentioned, but Condi doesn't plan to run, and I think it's been more wishful thinking from us on the right that she would run, than any reality. But the most important point is that a turn around over the next year or so in Iraq could totally change that number. The Dems love President Bush and the Republicans bad poll numbers, but they have been relying to much on hoping to win by default. The left has low poll numbers too, but the difference is that good news can swing the right's numbers back up.

Again, this is a long way off, and I'm really no fan of poll numbers... But my partisan side wants to embrace these, because they're great! I'm as happy as George Galloway when he's hangin' out with the Husseins.
