By my count that's 51% of respondents who have a negative opinion of her. And that's not counting the 2% who called her "controversial", because that's not necessarily negative.
If the Dumbs intend to win in 2008 I think they're going to have to find another standard bearer (and I don't think Obama has the gravitas, to be honest.)
