NBC/WSJ Poll: Hillary Ahead Of Obama, But Obama Seen As More Electable
The new NBC/Wall St. Journal poll released last night shows Hillary Clinton with a national lead of 47%-43% over Barack Obama — but somewhat paradoxically, the same Democratic respondents view Obama as the more electable candidate by a 48%-38% margin. Perceived electability often tracks with preference, as people see their own candidate as the stronger one.
As for match-ups against John McCain, they actually seem to be about equally electable at this juncture. Obama beats McCain 47%-44%, while Hillary is ahead of McCain 47%-45%.
