Poll: Just About Any Candidate In The Republican Field Could Beat Hillary Clinton
I really wish we could keep a lid on this.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton trails five top Republican presidential contenders in general election match-ups, a drop in support from this summer, according to a poll released on Monday.
Clinton’s top Democratic rivals, Barack Obama and John Edwards, still lead Republicans in hypothetical match-ups ahead of the November 4, 2008, presidential election, the survey by Zogby Interactive showed.
Clinton, a New York senator who has been at the top of the Democratic pack in national polls in the 2008 race, trails Republican candidates Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, John McCain and Mike Huckabee by three to five percentage points in the direct matches.
I’ve actually been saying for a while now that the best thing which could happen to the eventual GOP Presidential candidate is to have Hillary for an opponent. I mean, talk about your easy targets. Half of America dislikes her already, and digging into her and her husband’s history of corruption, lies, betrayals and scandal isn’t that hard at all.
I honestly think that Barack Obama or John Edwards would be much tougher “nuts” for the eventual GOP candidate to crack, if only because they don’t have all the Clinton baggage to lug around.
