GENERAL ELECTION MATCHUPS

OBAMA  51%
McCain  44%

Clinton 46 %
McCain 43%

Score one for Obama in the electability talking point.  How long will they keep talking about a 10 day old
IPSOS poll! And oh yeah, before I forget about the lady in the pantsuit....

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION

OBAMA  53%
Clinton  41%    I guess a base of only hard-working uneducated white folks won't get you far these days.

Lot's of other juicy stuff in the poll. Like the fact that 17% of less educated white voters would feel some discomfort with a black president while only 4% of educated whites feel the same way.   Go check out the extensive 17 page PDF.
