The "I won't support ____ in the general" Poll

Thu Feb 07, 2008 at 03:45:07 PM PDT

I posted a few polls near the end of last year which generally found about 25-30% of Kossacks saying they won't vote for Hillary Clinton in the general election if she's the nominee.  Whether those who claim that position are all going to follow through is, of course, up for debate, but I've always tried to preface the polls with "no, really -- don't exaggerate, it's an anonymous poll, just click the true answer".  

I realize, however, that I've never seen a well-clicked poll that asked the question not only of Hillary Clinton, but of Barack Obama as well (and which broke down the probs versus defs, which is significant.)

As always, try to answer honestly.  :)  (Note: if you are/were an Edwards or other candidate supporter, try to answer the question along the lines of "the candidate I'd prefer of the two".)

p.s. -- obviously, the poll works best if we have as many poll voters as possible, so feel free to Recommend the diary if you want a wider swatch of the community to chime in :)
