REUTERS: Both Democrats trail Republican John McCain ( M 47 O 40) (M 48 C 40)

[Thepricebreaker]

McCain leads 46 percent to 40 percent in a hypothetical matchup against Obama in the November presidential election, according to the poll.

That is a sharp turnaround from the Reuters/Zogby poll from last month, which showed in a head-to-head matchup that Obama would beat McCain 47 percent to 40 percent.

"The last couple of weeks have taken a toll on Obama and in a general election match-up, on both Democrats," said pollster John Zogby.

Matched up against Clinton, McCain leads 48 percent to 40 percent, narrower than his 50 to 38 percent advantage over her in February.

"It's not surprising to me that McCain's on top because there is disarray and confusion on the Democratic side," Zogby said

1. Gosh, a lot of American voters must be complete fools!

[SoonerPride]

4. Did you ever doubt it?

I'm convinced most Americans are morans.

[polichick]

10. I'm famous in my family for giving people way too much credit....

I just can't seem to get my mind around such stupidity!

[Debi]

2. Thank you Clinton campaign! Your kitchen sink strategy worked!

You must be so proud :puke:

[Mooney]

7. Gotta love the scorched earth policy. n/t

[Debi]

13. Works for her

the Democratic Party doesn't matter :eyes:

[Mooney]

16. The irony is that it's not really working for her.

It's just bad for him. Her numbers haven't budged, and won't budge, because the number of people who support her is, at best, static.

[Debi]

19. Right

just hurting Obama - which was her goal. Now she'll start telling Dems to 'get in line' x(

[OhioBlue]

9. exactly - she doesn't care about anything or anyone

other than herself and her own ambitions.

[Debi]

15. She'd rather steal the nomination - and lose

than allow ANYONE else the opportunity. How much in our party is she destroying just so she can be 'The One'?

[monmouth]

3. Zogby....Nah, I'm not buying it...n/t

[rockymountaindem]

5. We have *got* to stop this intra-party fighting

It's killing us.

[Red Zelda]

6. President Insane will be a reality

Nothing Dumbfuckistan loves more than perpetual war. Go army! Go soldiers! Go troooops!
We get what we deserve.

[fascisthunter]

8. I Don't Buy It Either

Most folks are against the war, yet they are going to vote for a pro-warmongering asshole who lies on a daily basis? I seriously doubt it.

[DJ13]

11. THANKS HILLARY!

:banghead:

[Perry Logan]

12. It's dumb to give credence to the poll, dumber to blame it on Hillary.

Talk about forgetting the "real enemy"!

[berni_mccoy]

23. Clinton PROMOTED McCain, Endorsing him. She played the race card and took a stand against the DNC

What do people expect? She's tearing the party apart. If Hillary Can't Win It, No Dem Can!

[mattomjoe]

14. NEVER underestimate the collective American will to vote against

its best self interests.

It's what being a Republican is all about.

[ingac70]

17. Generally those who lead in early national polls...

end up losing.

[shraby]

18. I find that hard to believe.

[jwirr]

20. I really question these polls. The war is costing us trillions, the economy

is tanking, McCain has to be corrected all the time, no one is doing anything about the environment, the banks are failing, even wall street is saying reagonomics is not working, states are going into debt because of federal cuts, New Orleans is still in trouble and idiot voters in the USA are going to vote for more of the same?

[berni_mccoy]

21. A Result of Clinton's Campaign of Destruction

[TwilightGardener]

22. Obama is taking hits from two fronts, simultaneously and continuously--

it's no wonder his poll numbers are going down--nobody's focusing on Hilary or McCain at all, except for positive things. Obama is getting bashed constantly.

[mzmolly]

24. Another murder/suicide.

Super.

[Political Heretic]

25. If I can't have it NO ONE CAN ~ anonymous democratic candidate

[krawhitham]

26. YEAHHH keep on ripping the party apart HRC
