Clinton More Likely to Beat McCain: Poll

Posted Apr 28, 08 1:10 PM CDT in Politics 

(Newser) – Hillary Clinton opened a commanding lead in a heads-up race against John McCain in the latest AP-Ipsos poll, leading the GOP’s presumptive nominee 50%-41%. Barack Obama, meanwhile, edged McCain just 46%-44%, a statistical tie. Today's numbers are a gift for Clinton, forwarding her argument that she would be more electable than Obama come November.

Add this uncounted bloc, and Obama’s lead could jump 2% or more, two veteran pollsters tell Salon. More »
