Electability – focus on battleground states
February 18, 2008 am29 2:16 am
Last week I challenged, somewhat, the claim that Obama was more electable:
New polls renew the argument: RCP’s average has Obama over McCain nationally by 3.6%, but McCain over Clinton nationally by 1.7%. But the national numbers matter less than battleground numbers. And Rasmussen has two new sets of polls:
Oregon, which leans Democratic (2004 D by 4.2%, 2000 D by 0.4%) McCain trails Obama by 9%, but leads Clinton by 3%.
Pennsylvania, which leans Democratic (2004 D by 2.5%, 2000 D by 4.2%) McCain trails Obama by 10%, but leads Clinton by 2%.
