Wisconsin Poll: Obama-McCain 46-42; McCain-Clinton 46-42

Obama's WI Numbers Look Good


Hillary Clinton's last shot to convince super delegates that she is the right candidate to take on John McCain in November hinges on her argument that she is more electable than rival Barack Obama. And Clinton polls better against McCain in the latest RCP Averages in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida. But a new survey from Wisconsin Public Radio and St. Norbert College suggests that in at least one battleground state key to any Democrat's victory, Obama has the electoral advantage.

The poll, conducted 3/25-4/5, surveyed 400 Wisconsin adults for a margin of error of about +/- 4.9%. Clinton, Obama and McCain were all tested.

General Election Matchups
Obama 46
McCain 42

McCain 46
Clinton 42

Any poll showing Clinton performing more poorly against McCain than Obama could seriously undermine Clinton's electability argument. It is no wonder, then, that the Obama campaign blasted the poll out to reporters as quickly as they could. If Clinton underperforms in Pennsylvania, super delegates not convinced that she's the most electable candidate could begin flocking to Obama in droves.

1. Waaawaaaa..hilary says she doesn't

pay attention to polls..and evidently didn't pay much attention to the coming tsunami Obama.

Thanks, WesDem.

2. Wisconsin is just as important to win as Pennsylvania.

Hillary's electability argument holds no water if she can't win Wisconsin.

3. So far polls show that if Hill is nominee we lose NM, WI, MN, OR, WA , IA and NV

while Obama wins those states.

4. Its ok though....

cause those states don't count. They didn't count in the primary, so Hillary probably thinks they won't count in the General either.

Also, Obama leads in Colorado and VA, where Hillary does not. But that's ok too, because those states don't count either.

If you havent heard the only states that count are PA, OH, FL. All the other states have no say in who choses our president.

5. Obama doesn't lead in VA.

6. If Hillary can't win Wisconsin she has no chance of winning the GE.

Her weakness in Wisconsin, a vitally important swing state, is disturbing.
