Barack Obama's message of bringing people together seems to be resonating with people all across the country. A new USA Today/Gallup poll indicates that Obama will fare better than Hillary Clinton in the general election. Note that Obama fares above 50% in all three cases:
Clinton (D) 49%, Giuliani (R) 48%Clinton (D) 53%, Huckabee (R) 44%Clinton (D) 52%, Romney (R) 46%Obama (D) 51%, Giuliani (R) 45%Obama (D) 53%, Huckabee (R) 42%Obama (D) 57%, Romney (R) 39%
This data backs up the results of a November SurveyUSA Election Poll of Iowans sponsored by KAAL-TV Rochester-Mason City-Austin. According to that poll, Iowan voters said Barack Obama will fare significantly better than Hillary Clinton in the general election. Obama easily beats all of his Republican opponents (with 50% or more against each of them), while Clinton's margin is significantly slimmer against Giuliani, Romney, and Huckabee, and she even loses to McCain.
Details from the SurveyUSA poll:
Obama leads... * Giuliani by 13 points * Romney by 14 points * Huckabee by 21 points (no track; this is the first time we’ve run that pairing) * McCain by 8 points Still ahead in Iowa in most matchups, but by smaller and, over time, narrowing margins, is Hillary Clinton. Today, Clinton leads... Giuliani by 4 points. (1/3 of Obama’s lead) Romney by 6 points. (1/2 of Obama’s lead) Huckabee by 6 points (1/3 of Obama’s lead) ...but trails McCain by 4 points.
