Clinton leads Obama, McCain in key matchups: poll

[DemGa]

Electability.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton holds a 9-point lead over rival Barack Obama among likely Pennsylvania Democratic primary voters ahead of the state's April 22 primary, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released on Wednesday.

Clinton, a New York senator who would be the first female president, leads the Illinois senator 50 percent to 41 percent, the poll found. She also runs better against the likely Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain, in Pennsylvania, Florida and Ohio -- all important swing states in the general election.

In a general election matchup in Florida, McCain closely trails Clinton 42 percent to 44 percent but McCain leads Obama, who would be the first black president, 46 percent to 37 percent, according to the poll.

3. I'm not worried. After hearing McCain on contraception, I realized he is kind of a boob.

And we know what happened the last time we elected one of those.

You really think McCain is going to bring out 20,000+ people?

18. I'll Give You A C For Creative Cherry Picking Of Polls

And Florida has more Electoral College Votes than WA, OR, and IA combined...

No Republican has won the election without Florida in the last eighty or so years...

9. OMG she must be winning

bwahahahaa.... such delusions of grandeur

[Uben]

10. OBAMA MUST DROP OUT NOW

This poll shows he is clearly losing to Hillary and McCain. It's time he bowed out gracefully now. Maybe Hillary will have it in her heart to offer him the VP job again, though he doesn't deserve another chance.


This is how fucking stupid Obama supporters sound every time they say the same thing about Hillary.

Remember!

11. another 'what if poll'

after hillary either drops out or is tossed out on her ass, we'll see how Obama fares against McCain. Until that time, it's nothing but mindless drivel.

14. They polled Ohio, Florida, and PA.

15. k

16. Really ??

Is that why he is gainning some ground in PA ?

[Butch350]

17. Really ??

Is that why he is gainning some ground in PA ?

[Jersey Devil]

20. You forgot to mention Obama also wins Ohio & PA

I'm sure it was a simple oversight

[DemGa]

21. No oversight

Look how hard fought OH was for Kerry -- Why is there any reason to think Obama can win it?

Clinton has the CLEAR advantage in this needed battleground state.

"In Ohio, Clinton has a 48 to 39 percent lead over McCain after months of too-close-to-call results, the poll found. In an Obama-McCain matchup, Obama gets 43 percent against 42 percent for McCain."

22. WHOAH! FLORIDA! A state Obama hasn't even campaigned in.

lame.
