Poll: Hillary gets 'F' as senator

Two years into her first term, constituents of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., give her performance as senator a failing grade, at least according to one unofficial survey conducted by a local CBS television affiliate.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y.

Of the nearly 5,500 people who responded to the unscientific online poll taken by WTVH-TV in Syracuse, about 4,700 people – or 86 percent – gave Clinton an "F" in response to the question, "How would you grade Hillary's performance as senator?"

Only 3 percent, or 166 voters, gave her an "A." Fewer still – 1 percent, or about 40 voters – gave her a "B"; 2 percent, or 106 voters, gave her a "C"; and 9 percent, or 478 voters, gave her a "D."

That means collectively, about 95 percent of those voting in the poll believe Clinton is doing a poor job.

A spokeswoman for the CBS affiliate told WorldNetDaily the station usually does not get that many responses to its polls. That's partly, she said, because most polls are only online for a day – the Hillary poll was up all weekend – and partly because, in her view, the poll "was hacked."

The station said Clinton was touring "the north country and the Adirondacks" over the Independence Day weekend. She made stops at Alexandria Bay, Canton, Lake Placid and Tupper Lake.

Clinton's office could not be reached for comment regarding the poll. Election results showed that she won 55 percent of the vote in 2000 against her challenger, Rep. Rick Lazio, R-N.Y., including the Syracuse area.
