Fox Poll: Hillary Doing Better Than Obama Against McCain With Independents
A second national poll finds that Barack Obama's advantage among independents in general election match-ups may have disappeared, and Hillary Clinton is now performing better among them against John McCain.
The new Fox News poll finds John McCain winning independents against Hillary Clinton by a 42%-38% margin -- and doing even better against Obama, winning indys by 47%-37%.
For comparison the previous Fox poll in March had McCain winning independents 47%-31% against Clinton, and 45%-37% against Obama -- meaning that Hillary's standing has improved, while Obama's latest campaign travails may have caused his position to stagnate or even decline.
The difference between Hillary and Obama's indy support is not statistically significant, but the finding that Obama's advantage among them may have disappeared was also the finding in an Associated Press poll that came out on Monday.
