A Fox News/Opinion Dynamics telephone survey of 900 registered American voters conducted Sept. 29 and 30 found that 27 percent think Hillary Clinton would have been doing a better job than Barack Obama had she won last year's presidential election. On the other hand, 28 percent said she would be doing worse. The margin of error is 3 percentage points, so that's probably not a statistically significant difference. Overall, it appears people, regardless of their political affiliation, are more or less divided on who would be a better president, though Republicans skew a bit toward Clinton and Democrats a bit toward Obama.

First off, any Foxnews poll to me is immediately questioned for accuracy. If this poll is right, then the Democrats still don't understand Hillary. If 27% say that she would do worse than Obama as president, then I have to seriously question their judgment. Independents are right down the middle, which I pretty much expected. The Republicans surprised me however. 34% said that she would do a better job than Obama would. That's showing some surprising strength for a party that hounded her and her husband for eight years.

No one asked me, and my answer would undoubtedly be yes she could.
