Poll: White men are the group least likely to support Hillary



Though support for Clinton is widespread among Democratic voters, there is a gender gap in the strength of her support among white Democratic voters. Overall, 62% of women and 54% of men say there is a good chance they would vote for Clinton.

But these differences are particularly evident among whites: 61% of white Democratic women say there is a good chance they would vote for Clinton compared with 43% of white Democratic men. Conversely, more white Democratic men (45%) than women (26%) see some chance of voting for Clinton. Only about 10% in each group sees no chance of voting for her.

Support for Clinton is greater among liberal Democratic voters (66% of whom say there is a good chance they would vote for her) than among conservative and moderate Democratic voters (53% say this). Still, large majorities of both groups (91% of liberal Democratic voters and 83% of conservative and moderate Democratic voters) say there is at least some chance they would cast a ballot for her.

The poll indicates that over 60% of women of all colors and non-white say there is a good chance of them supporting Clinton while a majority of white men do not.

Nearly all racists are also if not more so...misogynists. So that should tell you how much of it has nothing to do with her policies...

Chris Christie is the most hated, followed by Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee and that Bush fellow.
