Zogby: McCain Leads Clinton, Trails Obama in National General Election Match-ups
New interactive survey shows just 11% think Clinton will be the next Commander in Chief

<snip>

UTICA, New York - Republican John McCain trails Democrat Barack Obama by three points in a national general election test, but leads Democrat Hillary Clinton by 10 points, the latest Zogby Interactive survey shows.

The online poll, conducted April 25-28, 2008, shows that Obama retains 80% support among Democrats, compared to just 66% of Democrats who said they will back Clinton against McCain, the survey shows. Against Obama, McCain wins 11% of the Democratic support, while he wins 10% support against Clinton. In the McCain-Clinton race, 12% of Democrats said they were undecided, compared to just 4% of Democrats who were undecided in the McCain-Obama race.

Asked who they thought would be the next President, McCain led the way with 45%, compared to 40% for Obama. Just 11% said they thought Clinton would be the next one to occupy the Oval Office. Only 20% of Democrats said they think Clinton will be the next President, compared to 63% who believe Obama will get the job done.

Interestingly, 1% said they think former vice president-turned-Nobel laureate Al Gore will be the one to succeed George W. Bush in the White House.

The survey included 7,653 likely voters nationwide and carries a margin of error of +/- 1.1 percentage points.

1. Prediction: people whose candidate this disparages will dispute these facts, but those who like this

news will find solace in the news that a Republican might be elected, no matter how much it hurts the country.

2. Pretty shocking

Just 11% said they thought Clinton would be the next one to occupy the Oval Office. Only 20% of Democrats said they think Clinton will be the next President, compared to 63% who believe Obama will get the job done.

3. Keep on keeping on.

4. Zogby has a conflict of interest, as he said recently that Hillary should drop out of the race

Zogby is a pro-Obama pollster. Remember he had Clinton and Obama tied in Ohio, where Hillary won by 10?

[hannybal]

6. Oh, and this is Zogby Interactive, which unlike Zogby by phone, is a very inaccurate poll

There you go.

30. Wrong Zogby. That was his brother who said Hillary should drop out.

5. Obama is going to be our next President

of the USA..glad these particular polls, at this point in time, are reflective.

[Hoof Hearted]

7. Might as well have been a poll run by Michelle. Do some digging and you'll find out why

Zogby is so firmly in the tank for Obama.

[hannybal]

8. It's as if he saw the AP poll and decided to run damage control

Zogby is an Obama supporter.

11. Zogby got his groove back on after PA.

He nailed it.

Granted this is an online poll so...two grains of salt rather than one.

[hannybal]

25. How can you "get your groove back" based on one poll?

I would wait for several polls. Even a blind squirrel can find a nut once.

9. Zogby actually beat SUSA in PA

[hannybal]

10. Where else did he beat SUSA? And was that zogby phone or interactive? n/t

[Coexist]

12. can't say = I just went back to the PA results on RCP to check and see who got it

and Zogby was closest.

14. Flashback: Pollster becomes op-ed in the pro-Obama Huffington Post, asks for Hillary to drop out

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-zogby/end-it-now_b_98265.html

And he was forceful about it too:

My fellow superdelegates should wait no longer. As party leaders, we are uniquely positioned, and have the responsibility, to speak out. Indecision only serves to enable bad behavior. It is time for us to either demand that the behavior change, or act to end this now.

[cascadiance]

18. AGAIN!!! That is JAMES Zogby, NOTTTTT JOHN Zogby!

JAMES Zogby is the opionated host of Viewpoint with James Zogby who writes these columns.

JOHN Zogby is his brother who runs the polling group.

You continue to spout distortions in this thread!

[hannybal]

21. They are brothers

John Zogby and James Zogby share an intimate bond.

[WillyT]

22. Do You Have A Brother ???

:shrug:

[hannybal]

24. Zogby had Obama up 13% in California; Clinton won by 10%

Another coincidence?

Survey USA; Clinton +10
Zogby: Obama +13

And Clinton won by 10%

How in the world can a pollster say that a candidate will win b 13% and end up losing by 10%?

[cascadiance]

27. So I guess then that Bill Clinton is a drug addict like his brother?

Same f'ing logic my friend.

And Alec Baldwin is a strong Democrat. Is his brother Stephen a strong Democrat? Hell no, he's a Republican!
