Poll: Clinton does better vs. McCain than Obama
RAW STORY
Published: Monday April 28, 2008

A new poll shows Hillary Clinton with a margin of victory over John McCain that is nearly five-times greater than the margin Barack Obama holds over the GOP nominee.

The Associated Press-Ipsos poll bolsters her argument that she is more electable in the fall than her rival for the Democratic nomination.

The survey released Monday gives Clinton a fresh talking point as she works to convince pivotal undecided superdelegates to side with her in the drawn-out Democratic primary fight.

Clinton, who won the Pennsylvania primary last week, has gained ground this month in a hypothetical head-to-head match up with the GOP nominee-in-waiting; she now leads McCain, 50 percent to 41 percent, while Obama remains virtually tied with McCain, 46 percent to 44 percent.

The AP poll gives Clinton her widest lead over McCain so far this year, according to Real Clear Politics' poll compilation. It also is the first to show such a wide gap between Clinton's and Obama's margins of victory over the Arizona senator in a general election.

Fair play!
