In what would be a more glaring problem if she becomes the nominee, the latest CNN poll shows that Hillary Clinton begins with a 47% unfavorable rating, nearly 20% higher than Senator Obama. Hillary's unfavorables are the highest of any candidate measured in the poll by at least 8%. Obama has the highest favorables and lowest unfavorables of any candidate measured. While both Obama and Clinton do similarly well in their 2008 GOP match-ups, John McCain is in a statistical tie with Obama and Clinton, confirming his position as the most electable GOP candidate. Oh, and, according to the poll, Romney sucks in general, so I'm with Kos on the vote for Mitt in Michigan effort.

Obama and Clinton have virtually the same favorability ratings, 55 and 53 percent. But Clinton's unfavorability rating is roughly 20 points higher than Obama's -- 47 percent to 28 percent. Just one other candidate in the race, McCain, competes with Obama in both categories, with a favorability rating of 54 percent and an unfavorability rating of 29 percent. McCain is the only Republican included in the poll with a favorability rating of greater than 50 percent.
