40. I disagree

Edited on Sat Mar-08-08 01:26 PM by Time for change

Here are the latest head to head polls for Obama vs. McCain:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/us/general_election_mccain_vs_obama-225.html

Newsweek: 3-6 Obama 46, McCain 45
Cook/RT Strategies: 3-2 Obama 47, McCain 38
ABC/WaPo: 3-2 Obama 53, McCain 42

Mathematically, those numbers have to translate into big state victories and an electoral victory. It is nearly impossible to win the national popular vote with numbers like that without an electoral win, if not a landslide.

On the other hand, Clinton and McCain are virtually tied.

Obama has consistently done better than Clinton in polling against Republican candidates.
