Question about the NBC/WSJ polling

[Hawaii Hiker]

I just saw the lastest poll yesterday....They ask a generic question "who will you vote for in the fall, the Democrat or the Republican"?.....Overwelmingly, Democrats were favored 51-33%...Now, when you do the head-to-head matchups, it's much closer as Clinton & Obama only have small leads over McBush...But see, what I don't get it if people favor the Democrat so strongly in the generic question, why does it get so much closer in the head to head contests....I mean, there are only 2 fucking possibilities, it's either Clinton vs. McBush, or Obama vs. McBush....I can see the big difference in the generic vs. the head to head matchups when there were 20 candiates, but for there to be such a difference now is very odd, :banghead: :banghead:
