From the latest RCP Election 2008 National Head-to-Head Polls, I made a spreadsheet and uploaded it to this editgrid.com spreadsheet: 2008 Presidential Matchups.

The graph is as above.
For this latest RCP snapshot, we find that:
- Obama does slightly better than others vs Giuliani, Romney, Thompson and the "Average Republican"
- Edwards does slightly better vs McCain
- Giuliani currently trails the "Average Democrat" by about 2%.
- Average Democrat leads Average Republican by 7.7%
The spreadsheet host I have used here, editgrid.com, is an excellent free spreadsheet hosting service. I encourage those posting about polls to use that service and provide full details, charts, links, and compilations over time, of the polls they cover. Please see my spreadsheet for an example.
The spreadsheets at editgrid.com can be downloaded and worked upon by others, which makes it possible to cross-check, collaborate, and improve the coverage of 2008 polls by diarists.
