’08 Matchups

Ken AshfordElection 20081 Comment

Presidential race match-ups mean little at this early stage, but they do mean something.  Zogby’s latest match-up poll of the top three GOP contenders (Guiliani, McCain, and Romney — in that order)vs. the top 3 Democratic contenders (Clinton, Obama, and Edwards — in that order) is interesting:

Giuliani 47%, Clinton 40%

Giuliani 40%, Obama 46%

Giuliani 46%, Edwards 40%

McCain 47%, Clinton 39%

McCain 40%, Obama 44%

McCain 47%, Edwards 38%

Romney 35%, Clinton 45%

Romney 29%, Obama 51%

Romney 32%, Edwards 47%

Things to note, assuming the election were held today:

(1)  Romney would lose to any Democratic candidate.

(2)  No GOP candidate can beat Obama.

Barack’s gotta be loving this poll.
