| Description | (CNN) -- More than half of those responding to a new poll said they would be at least somewhat likely to vote for Sen. Hillary Clinton if she runs for president in 2008.
But those saying they are virtually certain to vote against her topped those virtually certain to support her by 10 percentage points.
The release of the poll comes amid steps by Edward Cox, son-in-law of President Richard Nixon, to challenge Clinton for her U.S. Senate seat from New York. (Full story)
Clinton served on the staff of the congressional Impeachment Inquiry in the wake of the Nixon's Watergate scandal in 1974.
A poll earlier this month by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute found overwhelming support for her -- 67 percent -- among New York voters, if she decides to run for re-election next year. Among Democrats, however, 65 percent surveyed want her to pledge to serve out a full term if she runs, negating a 2008 White House bid.
Sixty-one percent also said they'd like her to run for president.(Full story)
