Rasmussen: McCain's Lead Growing Against Both Clinton And Obama

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Tell me that you didn't expect this and I'll tell you that you haven't been using your head - you've been reacting emotionally to the media shrilling for BO. Instead of what the media wants to see, Barack Obama is following behind McCain and even Hillary in national polling for the general election.

Given the options, level-headed Americans (this eliminates the center-left) are all in the same boat - regardless of their political persuasion. In the end, most of us that don't vote on emotion only (i.e. ardent Obama supporters) will choose the safest candidate, and that doesn't necessarily refer only to our national security:

McCain currently leads Barack Obama 49% to 42% and Hillary Clinton 51% to 41% margin (see recent daily results). African-American support for Clinton has collapsed, falling to 55% in the general election match-up. Obama, on the other hand, earns solid support from African-American voters but attracts only 36% of white voters in a match-up with McCain.

Sure it's way too soon to for McCain's wife to start measuring the drapes and picking out furnishings, and surely there's going to be ups and downs between now and November, but things are looking much better for McCain and he could end up making Obama or Hillary look like a George McGovern.
