A woman in the White House?

February

Two-thirds of American voters say the country is ready for a woman as president, according to a new poll by the Siena Research Institute>

Even when that means “Are you ready for Hillary Clinton?” support for a woman in the White House has grown, the institute said in a press release. In 2005, 62 percent said the country was ready.


And this time around, 81 percent said they would vote for a woman.


The Times Union/Siena College poll, which was released today, shows Clinton running even with two possible Republican opponents: 44 percent to 45 percent for former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and 45 percent to 44 percent for Arizona Sen. John McCain. Another poll, from Quinnipiac University, shows similar results. Clinton would get 46 percent to Giuliani’s 44 percent.


How would a woman fare in White House? Here are some of the results:


Fifty-seven percent said a woman would be better than a man on domestic issues, but only 15 percent though she would do better as commander-in-chief.
