http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/01/12/poll.matchups/index.htmlAccording to a new poll conducted by CNN John McCain is best placed to defeat the Democrats in November. The poll paints a worrying picture for the Republicans, though let's remember that New Hampshire taught us not to believe in everything the polls tell us!
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama beat hypothetical match-ups with Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney by double digits. John McCain doesn't lose to either Clinton or Obama, but he doesn't beat them either. McCain is in statistical tie with both candidates.
This poll doesn't prove *much*, as we can't really predict November when February looks turbulent enough, but it has to give some pause to the Republicans about how well their message is resonating beyond the Republican primary electorate. Is this a Democratic year? Just under eight months until we find out!
