McCain's wins have boosted him in the polls recently. Obama still has advantage over Clinton against McCain, but its a small one (in 3-day avg). Of course, this poll doesn't mean much right now.

"The latest Rasmussen Reports survey of Election 2008 shows Republican frontrunner Senator John McCain with single-digit leads over Democratic Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. McCain now leads Clinton 48% to 40%. He leads Barack Obama 47% to 41%."

But closer race with 3-day rolling avg:

"McCain now has a narrow advantage over Obama 45% to 43%. Prior to this latest poll, they had been tied at 44%. Both men have now been within four points (the margin of error) of the 45% mark for seven consecutive individual polls. Using a three-poll rolling average, McCain leads Clinton by five percentage points, 47% to 42%."

Favorables/unfav
"John McCain is viewed favorably by 52% and unfavorably by just 43%."

"Hillary Clinton is currently viewed favorably by 47%, unfavorably by 51%. Barack Obama is viewed favorably by 51%, unfavorably by 45%."

1. The McCain/Romney will not be that easy to beat-but either HorO could-and Clinton/Obama wins easily

2. here we go with the poll game already

rasmussen report has always been a Repuke leaning poll.. Most reputable pollsters will argue that unless the samplings are at least 1000 with other geographical factors they are useless. At this point its just something the corporate media can make an issue with..But the thing of it is whether its worthless or reliable voters still tend pay to attention to them..If they keep it close it won't make an election theft look so obvious..

3. Polls this early are as meaningless as polls last July

I'll take Obama over McCain any day. By the time the fall comes, McCain will look like the Ghost of Bush's Past. He wants to run on Bush's war. Well freakin' A, that's right where we want him.

Bring it.
