Is a “Rose” a “Rose” (law firm) by any other name?
Hillary mulling what to do with her middle name
According to CNN:
Most Americans’ feelings toward the Democratic senator from New York change depending on which name is used, according to a recent poll conducted by Opinion Research Corp. for CNN.
Including Hillary Clinton’s maiden name increased her approval rating among Republicans polled to 23 percent. “Hillary Clinton” had a 16 percent approval rating among people who identified themselves as Republican.(View full results)
Among people who said they were independent, “Hillary Rodham Clinton” was favored by 48 percent, compared with 42 percent for “Hillary Clinton.”
The issue also has a region divide. Dropping “Rodham” improves her rating in the South. Keeping it helps her with Independents. No doubt most respondents suggested that she consider dropping “Bill” too.
Why someone running for senatorial reelection in New York would be worried about how their name played in the South is anyone’s guess.
