NOTE: I'm the Clinton campaign's Internet Director
Yesterday I posted a diary linking to several blog posts about Hillary's poll numbers. There are a couple of interesting new posts today that add more dimension to the discussion:
Markos writes, "Yesterday I ran SUSA presidential matchups in Alabama, Kentucky, and Virginia that generally showed Hillary ahead of Romney and Grandpa Fred, while competitive with Giuliani. Today I have more matchups."
And Chris Bowers at Open Left posts two general election maps and writes the following:
"Taking the most recent poll from each state in the country from sources like Polling Report, Rasmussen and Survey USA, I have been able to piece together maps showing the state by state general election between both Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani, and also between Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney."
Chris's results:
Clinton 335-203 Giuliani
Clinton 430-108 Romney
YESTERDAY'S DIARY:
There's been lots of discussion in recent days about Hillary's poll numbers and I figured I'd share a batch of links that give perspective on where things stand:
http://www.galluppoll.com/... (Excerpt: "A review of Gallup poll data suggests that Hillary Clinton's current high unfavorable ratings are not unprecedented. Other candidates have had similarly high unfavorable ratings at various points in presidential election campaigns in previous years. Two of these candidates -- George W. Bush in 2004 and Bill Clinton in 1992 -- went on to win the election. Additionally, Rove's assumptions that Hillary Clinton's candidacy is "fatally flawed" run counter to the historical finding that candidates' images often change, sometimes dramatically, as the campaign progresses.")
http://www.mydd.com/... (Jonathan Singer discusses Markos's post about Hillary's strong showing in three red states. Excerpt: "Markos passes on some very interesting polling of registered voters in three Southern states -- one of which that hasn't voted Democratic since 1996, another that hasn't since 1976, and yet another that hasn't since 1964 -- that seriously calls into question the contention by some that Hillary Clinton is not electable in a general election.")

And here's Hillary responding to Rove's attack:
