Poll: Clinton Does Better Than Obama Against McCain In Swing States

Hm. Does this mean I can stop rooting for this vile woman?

Hillary Clinton is maintaining a lead over rival Barack Obama among Pennsylvania Democrats, who are split along racial lines three weeks before the state's primary, according to a Quinnipiac University poll.

The poll also found Clinton does better than Obama in a match-up against Republican John McCain in Pennsylvania and two other swing states, Florida and Ohio.

The March 24-31 survey released today found that Clinton has support of 50 percent of likely Democratic voters in Pennsylvania compared with 41 percent who support Obama. A March 18 Quinnipiac poll found that Clinton had 53 percent to 41 percent for Obama.

...

The racial divide also showed up in voter preferences in a general election contest in the three swing states, which together have 68 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency.

...

The survey found that Clinton leads McCain in all three swing states where the poll was conducted. In contrast, Obama, 46, would lose to McCain, 71, in Florida and edges him by slight margins in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

In Florida, Clinton has support from 44 percent of voters compared with McCain's 42 percent. In a theoretical match-up against Obama, McCain garners 46 percent of the vote compared with Obama's 37 percent, according to the poll.

In Pennsylvania, Clinton has a 48 percent to 40 percent lead over McCain, while Obama leads McCain 43 percent to 39 percent.

In Ohio, Clinton is leading McCain 48 percent to 39 percent, while Obama has a narrow lead over McCain of 43 percent to 42 percent.

Ah, well. I guess it doesn't matter much who wins. Which is good, because Obama's going to win. There's just nothing she can do about it. Not even attempting to destroy him, in order to save the Republic, of course.

Any time the Clintons act ruthlessly to acquire or cling to power it's to save something or other. Anything except their own asses. Always for the folks, as Bill O'Reilly calls 'em.
