1. Guess it all depends on if the Dems want to win or not.

Edwards isn't doing much better than Hillary among registered voters.

And check out Gore, with a -6 (fav minus unfav).

4. GE favorables and unfavorables are important IMO

As an Obama supporter I'll fully admit that his unfavorables will go up when more people get to know him, but I think the fact that he has a 40% favorable is pretty impressive this early in the cycle.

I think Hillary's numbers aren't great in that regard but I still think she can win because the GOP is on the verge of implosion.

3. The only numbers that matter show how HRC does against Repub candidates.

And she's beating them all, in head to head polls.
