McCain Beats Clinton, Obama

By wt

Obviously it's too early to make any sweeping conclusions, but I think it's interesting (and potentially useful for voters) to note that McCain is beating both Clinton and Obama in national polls right now.

McCain v. Hillary: 46.9 to 45

McCain v. Obama: 44.6 to 44.

Again, it's very early. There are undecideds leaning both ways, a campaign yet to happen, and a lot of talking points to go around before November, 2008.

But in a year where the GOP is largely considered the inevitable loser, it's interesting that their likely candidate is beating both of the major Democratic candidates.

UPDATE:

Thanks to the commenters who saw that my numbers appeared to be wrong. Unfortunately for me, several new polls were added after I made the post this morning.

As of 1:08 PST, Obama is now leading McCain 44.9 to 43.9. And McCain's lead on Hillary is now 46.0 to 44.4.

Things change fast!
