Rasmussen: Clinton Stronger Than Obama Against McCain In Pennsylvania
A new Rasmussen poll of Pennsylvania shows Hillary Clinton running stronger than Barack Obama against John McCain here -- the sort of number likely to be touted by the Clinton campaign to demonstrate superior electability:
McCain (R) 44%, Obama (D) 43%
Clinton (D) 47%, McCain (R) 42%
While Obama is able to outperform Clinton among independent voters, Clinton is doing a better job at holding down the core Democratic base -- meaning that some of those Pennsylvania Dems who don't like Obama are at least seriously considering going for McCain.
Other polls have shown a similar situation: The current Pollster.com averages have Clinton beating McCain in Pennsylvania by 45.7%-43.2%, but McCain beating Obama by 45.2%-42.7%.
