Not Good News for Hillary, Romney

A Mason Dixon poll of likely general election voters finds that 52 percent of Americans wouldn't consider voting for the NY Senator should she win the nomination.
The poll by Mason-Dixon Polling and Research found that 52 percent of Americans wouldn't consider voting for Clinton, D-N.Y. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a Republican, was second in the can't-stand-'em category, with 46 percent saying they wouldn't consider voting for him.

Clinton rang up high negatives across the board, with 60 percent of independents, 56 percent of men, 47 percent of women and 88 percent of Republicans saying they wouldn't consider voting for her.

Romney struggled most with women: 50.9 percent said they wouldn't consider voting for him.
Not good news, but no real changes for Hillary either.

So, the question is, if Hillary is going to have such an uphill battle to win, will the Democrats nominate her. The conventional wisdom is that the gender gap will work in Hillary's favor, but this poll doesn't show such a favorable response.
