Clinton Would Trump McCain
Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama > Hillary Clinton > John McCain
According to a new poll from The Associated Press and Ipsos….
If the U.S. presidential were held today, Hillary Clinton would beat John McCain by a 9-point margin, 50 percent to 41 percent.
The poll shows that when Barack Obama faces McCain, the two are statistically tied — though, Obama holds a two point edge over McCain, within the poll's margin of error.
If Hillary can produce these same numbers after the North Carolina and Indiana primaries, she has a really strong case for the Democratic nomination, right?
Don't forget — register to vote!!

duh
YAY!!!
OF COURSE YAYAYYA
FIRST BITCHES!!!
yay
GO GIRLS!! VOTE HILARY 
no umbama binladen as playmates say, haha 
hoooo man.
thats crazy..
she can't win. the math is not on her side, no matter what. there ain't no spin on 1+1=2
Wooooo! i love Hillary, and I hope she DOES WIN the democratic nomination.
No, people would riot if that happened. I understand that you want her to win, so do I . But let's be honest, Obama won the most delegates, there's no getting around that. It's time we start accepting that fact.
GO HILLARY!
I want barak!!!
acctualllyy… idk anymore. just not Mccain! i dont want a president that watches the HILLS!
Um, no, because Obama leads in pledged votes, won more states, leads in the popular vote, and continues to pick up super delagates….
Um. I'm pretty sure McCain can beat either. Let's be realistic. McCain '08!
go obama!
VOTE HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, it's a really strong case to overturn the will of the PEOPLE. In case you haven't noticed, Obama has won more states, more of the popular vote, and more delegates. I can't think of anything more undemocratic than overturned the will of the people to vote for Hillary.
Stick to the smut. That's what you're good for.
The people have chosen Obama. The white liberal press has chosen Clinton. Who wins this contest? This case has gone racist. That whacko preacher must be paid by the Republican Klan. He is destroying the only chance blacks will have in this century of electing a president. Good work, you high-yellow piece of America haters!!! Stand on you own too feets, preacher. You shouldn't need Osama to become famous like Tawana Brawley Sharpton!!!!
Yay hill!!!
mcCain!
hillary can suck a nut.
Perez, you need to give the politics a miss, you are really pissing off the MANY Obama supporters who read your site. Stick to Hollywood gossip.
This is great news!!! GO HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!!!
Also, the Governor of North Carolina just came out for Hillary!!!! WAHOO!!!!
Obama won the most delegates. Imagine the riots if Clinton were chosen.(it would not be fair) Clinton sucks
poop
20 commets soo fast
Yes, Hillary can beat McCain. Especially since Obama's racist Reverend keeps popping up saying stupid racist idiotic crap. Is this how Obama thinks too?? He listened to the guy preach for 20 yrs.
Ummm Don't forget clinton was down by what was it??? 15 just a few weeks ago PLEASE Stop reporting Politics YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT!
Once again, you distort the truth PEREZ! The poll only shows ädults", meaning people over a certain age. And we all know that Obama is attracting the large majority of young voters. So put them into the mix and the numbers come out about even. STOP DISTORTING THE TRUTH FOR YOUR OWN NEEDS PEREZ YOURE AS BAD AS FOX NEWS!
I really doubt this because today on Chris Mathews he said all polls (4 or 5) say that Obama is ahead of McClain and Hillary in every category.
Re: barbie –
FUCK OFF,
only idiots compare him to binladen, you're just being a dumbass.
he's going to bring this country a future!!! HOPE!
fuck it all up again, like with bush
go for it.
Re: jen –
Obama won the most delegates- he's is the winner. that's it. get over it
GO HILLARY GO……
Hope she knocks his ASS back down to the ground. There is more too that man then meets the eye, something not 100% true about Obama.
apparently you want to see massive rioting not just in denver, but all over the nation, (a la 1968) and the democratic party to be in complete war with each other (not that we're not already seeing that enough right now…)
Also, having taken Math courses at an Ivy League, I'll have to say—don't trust polls very much. Time and time again, polls (even the famous Gallup Poll, have shown inaccurate voting trends/results). People tend to lie or give false information when it comes to voting for a candidate. Nowadays, being a republican is a complete social taboo, so many young white people who WILL likely vote for McCain in November, feel compelled to say 'Obama' or 'Hillary' when asked about a candidate.
Perez, Barack Obama supports DOMA far beyond what Hillary does. Plus, Barack has proven himself to be an honest, sincere, and principled candidate. He plays to people's hopes instead of fear and distortions. In light of those differences between Barack and Hillary, why do you support Hillary? I don't get it.
if you want to split the democratic party by having the super delegates choose her over obama, single-handedly disenfranchising the youth vote, sure. it gives her every reason to be the nominee.
get real, perez. your girl lost; she came with too much baggage.
woohoo!
I love you motherfuckin' Hilary!
www.StateOfBrain.com supports Ron Paul.
Fuck Hillary Clinton.
Wonderful news, thanx Perez! I love Hillary and hope she will be president! Obama is unelectable, he has won a lot of tiny states and that was before people realized he is an arrogant idiot that relies on Rev Wright. Hillary won all the big states and has more votes than him when we count Florida and Michigan. They should count!
HILLARY FOREVER!!!
I understand you like clinton, but she lost. get over it. your hurting the democratic party by not supporting the obvious winner.
Re: sockit – Unfair would be to not allow folks in Michigan and Florida vote. It was some suit that broke the rules, not the people. Why is Obama/DNC punishing the people? And why is this candidate for "change" hiding behind old rules for?? Candidate for change, r i g h t. And Obama took his name off the ballot voluntarily hoping to win by default in Michigan anyway, snubbing the state in the process. He's no more fair than I am black.
How stupid is the American public. So he has more states, nothing states, she has one all of the big states, hello, all of the big states. Super delegates will go back and forth, and if she gets Indiana, goodbye Obama, and it's high time too.
He's affliated with a hate monger for 20 years. He's friends with people who have attended Al Qaeda camps, he's lied about being involved with lobbyists. He's insulted and looked down on rural people. He's used popular quotes from how other many people's speeches, hmmmm…..
HE'S FABRICATED…..WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!
Re: hillary – fuck hillary and fuck you. anybody who actually thinks that voting for hillary will change ANYTHING is a fucking idiot.
it's nice that you're helping to get the vote out, Perez. However, you should really stop shoving hillary down everybodys throat. Barack is a great candidate as well, and as long as we get a democrat in the White House, it's a good situation.
SHES A CLASS ACT FORSURE, SMART AND KNOWS HOW TO LEAD THIS COUNTRY….SHE WILL DO A GREAT JOB…HONEST AND HARD WORKING!
I voted for Obama, but if Hillary she can truly beat McCain, then I guess I should have voted for her. Democrats really need to look at this statistic. Wow. 9 percentage points is huge…
Re: rude dood –
UR A NASTY LOSER! HILLARY NUMBER 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its not gonnna happen
Re: Ryan –
YOU VOTED WRONG….YOUR STUPID…HILLARY KNOWS HOW TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN! SHES A GREAT LEADER AND SMART AS WELL!
Come on people Barack Obama has won the vote of the people.Now the numbers say what they want to we will see in the end.Hopefully she don't get hit by sniper fire……Barack has more super delegates, since win we need super d's who her these people.Hillary has proven she is a sore loser.
Re: lisa –
YOU ARE RIGHT, YOU WILL NEVER GO TO COLLEGE….WONT HAPPEN…JUST LIKE OTHER WOMEN U ARE JELOUS OF MISS CLINTON…CAUSE SHE IS SUCCESSFUL AND YOU ARENT!

Re: tee –
THATS CLASSY WISHING MISS CLINTON HARM….WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOU THIS COUNTRY ISNT GOING ANYWHERE SOON….YOU ARE JUST A TALKER LOSER!
IT HAS TO BE HILLARY!
fuck hillary… if she wins the nomination i'm voting for nader.
Why is Sen. Obama punishing voters? First he wouldn't agree to a comprise with the DNC over Florida and Michigan, punishing voters.. Then he refuses to debate and once again he is punishing voters so they can't make an informed decision. And on top of everything his racist, idiotic Rev. Wright is all over the airwaves like he's promoting a book or something. This Reverend said again today remarks he claims links the Government to AIDS and some other remark about left and right sided brains. This guy is a wack job and Obama went to Wrights sermons for 20 years and your gonna tell me none of this rubbed off?? Sen. Obama runs on this "change" issue, yet when it comes to Florida and Michigan , he's the first to hide behind old rules. That surely doesn't sound like change, thats more of the same. I don't think this is the "change" voters had in mind….
Polls change on a weekly basis. It was reverse a week or two ago. . .right now nothing is obvious.
Stick to pop culture gossip - that's what you know best!
hilary cannot win.
arr what is happening to the world. Miley cyrus is running around naked and hilary clinton could be president ???
VOTE OBAMA AMERICA !!! and the rest of the world might not find you so friggin annoying.
p.s we all love perez tho. even if he does support HER
AP had Obama winning PA too - wrong!
perez give it a rest. polls are very unreliable considering they only call people with land lines, and a good majority of the voters have cell phones, especially the young that support obama. and in the polls ive seen, barak blows hilary away when it comes to beating mccain. and how is that an argument for the DNC to choose her when the will of the people have overwhelmingly chosen barak as is evident by the by the pop. vote and the pledged delegates. the DNC sees who the math supports and aren't going to screw the public over by choosing hilary.
stick to the queen of media gossip youre known for, this politics shit makes you look really bad and desperate. give it a rest.
Can't wait to get BACK IN TO THE WHITE HOUSE. i want to do more interns.
Obama is in BIG trouble right now! He may not win anymore states now. This really looks bad for him. I just knew that this stuff was gonna get him, its just way to much all at once and caught on tape for the world to see. Really looks bad, he should of had better judgement. This debate issue will hurt him now too.
Wooooooooo Hoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's about time we had a woman in the White House!
Go Hillary!!!
um, no, that's not a strong case, you fat fuck.
math plays an important part in the democratic nomination and it is not on her side in the slightest way.
she has no chance of catching up.
deal with it.
Hillary is a whore! I really thing you need to give up on politics Perez. It doesn't seem like you have a clue what you are talking about.
Hillary is the WORST possible thing that could happen to this country. She is an ego driven manic. She will start a war in Iran. She's just going to continue the Bush legacy…nothing more.
Please give up on the Hillary crap and get a clue!
All the Obama supporters are telling Perez to stick with gossip. You know its getting bad for Obama when his supporters stop talking politics and start talking celebrity gossip. HEHEHE!
Rev. Wright is Obama's worst nightmare come true. Unfortunately, I think this might be the beginning of the end for Obama, at least this time around. I like th guy and think he has a big future ahead of him but Hillary Clinton is the experienced, resilient, policy wonk, universal health care advocate, middle class friend that this country needs. Rev. Wright has made clear that we really don't know much about Obama and, in the end, experience and detailed plans bests vague themes of hope and change.
I hate that in this world people are Brainless Followers. A 'Celebrity' states who they are supporting with out giving a reason why, and you all just follow them!?! Of Course "Celebrities" want Clinton in office! The Rich get Richer and the Poor Get poorer with her! She is a fucking hypocrite! She says one thing yet does another. She talks shit on Obama when she has done the same as him! And have you all forgotten that we are at War with a country that thinks women are nothing! What do you think is going to happen to the US!?! We will be seen as Weak, and guess what, We're FUCKED! She's counting on that everyone will love her for being a woman, and those who don't will just think Bill will just tell her what to do. Wake UP People!!!! Hilary= Death to USA! Obama is down to earth and in touch with Serious problems this country has. He wants to better the country and help those who need it.! Obama tells you what you need to hear while, Hilary only wants to tell you what you want to hear while she fucks you over!
What this isn't reporting is that poll has been up and down on a weekly basis, giving favor to each one after each one wins a primary.
Of course it is going to surge for Clinton the week after she won Pennsylvania.
When Barack takes N. Carolina, it will surge back towards him. Is this your first time ever to pay attention to politics?
There is no poll, as of right now, that can give an accurate representation on how the election in November may go, considering that there is no Democratic nominee, and no VP nominee for the Republicans.
I love how one-sided this page is when it comes to things that Perez shouldn't be discussing.
Go Hillary!!!!
Hillary 08
I Love Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!
Hillary HAS the working-class, blue collar vote. NO DEMOCRAT except for BILL CLINTON has won the blue-collar vote since Jimmy Carter, which is WHY no Democrat EXCEPT Bill Clinton has won the presidency in the past 30 years!!! As CNN has been saying since the Pennsylvania primary, if he were somehow able to steal the nomination, OBAMA WOULD BE ANOTHER DUKAKIS!!!!!
HILLARY HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO BEAT MCCAIN, BUT OBAMA DOES NOT!!!!!! He is easily manipulated and too inexperienced and weak to beat McCain. Hillary has the tenacity, wisdom and experience to beat McCain. AND she is not an UNPATRIOTIC ELITIST, like Barack "Cry Me A River" Obama. He doesn't even have the balls to debate Hillary again, because last time she whooped his pathetic ass!!!!!
GO HILLARY!!!!! SHE WILL WIN INDIANA AND NORTH CAROLINA, AND BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA WILL GO DOWN IN FLAMES!!!!!!!
GO HILLARY IN 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: J. McCain – Try Obama Supporters are sick of the uneducated dumb asses that come on here and talk about shit they don't know about. Perez made a living writing about CELEBRITY GOSSIP NOT POLITICS! Stick to what you know.
Go Hil and Bill! Foreign relations will be so much better w/ the Clintons back in the White House. And maybe Hil and Bill's relations will be better too!!
Clinton can't win. Too much hatred for her lying, pandering ways.
If the Dems pick hillary, i will vote for mccain and walk away from the democrats forever….she's turned to Rove adn the right wing to take down Obama, cuz she can't handle losing.
The Dem's are gonig to lose ALOT of us (young people) if they go with Hilary.
Perez,
You do gossip! before you start posting things like this you need to go to college to learn about how our election progress works!
do you know anything about politics besides just liking a candidate?
**HILLARY HAS WON MORE OF THE POPULAR VOTE AND HAS MORE SUPERDELEGATES.**
HILLARY IS AHEAD, NOT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND ALL THIS **DESPITE** THE LIBERAL MEDIA BEING TOTALLY AND BRAZENLY BIASED IN FAVOR OF BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!!!!
YOU GO, GIRL!!!! HILLARY IN 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOOD! After today I am DONE supporting Obama. Stupid fucking pastor and advisor mocking JFK…the one prez who did more for civil rights than any other president. This idiot has been (and will continue to be) a trusted advisor of Obama. Extremism sucks in any form…I'm seriously considering McCain if this ass wins the nomination.
WRONG!!
Go Hillary!!! Obama's in big trouble. Those super-delegates are going to abandon Obama in droves if Hillary beats him in Indiana and then goes on to beat him in Kentucky and West Virginia. He can't carry the big states which equals he can't win the general election. Nominating Obama = electing John McCain.

She statistically can't win the election. I just don't understand why you are obsessed with promoting this woman yet you give no specific or valid evidence as to why you support her. It's just like what you do with all public figures. You promote some and tear down others without giving any reason other than the occasional scribbling on their picture. I used to be a huge Perez fan, but I'm not any longer. In fact, I'm quite disgusted by who he's become.
Yeay! Go Hillary! Keep winning! And, of course, thanks to the crazy preacher, who keeps talking and making Obama look like the nut job he really is.
Re: Simon –
Simon, are you mentally challenged? Only ADULTS can vote. Who cares if "young people" like Obama, it isn't going to matter come Election Day, because you have to be 18 to vote. Duh.
OOOOhhh- you HAVE to have Barack in the race- there is plenty more to know and they are saving it for you to savor! What is WRONG with democrats that these are the two best they could find????I am NOT kidding. All those has been elitist hypocrites like Edwards, and Clinton, and then falling in love with Obama's speeches but not knowing crapall about the man who reads the words?? You will run Obama, and believe me, that cracker hater will LOSE. Of course, HIllary has ONE chance and this is it-she isn't leaving until she gets something. Dems need to start looking AROUND at the candidates for 2012- there had to be SOMEONE out there better than this crop of crap.

Re: You Damn Sheep! – Most celebrities endorse Obama, thats one reason why he gets so much money in maximum donations allowable by law. Lots of rich folks contribute to his campaign, thats why he won Vermont. I guess the stereotype is that the rich are supposedly more liberal..
I took a class on Nazi propaganda while I was a student at Harvard, and Barack Hussein Obama has taken a page right out of Josef Goebbels' book!!!!!
Check out his symbol - that horizon with the sun rising over it and the word "HOPE" written underneath. He is basically like a cult leader who uses vague themes that everyone can relate to and nobody can refute (such as "hope" — I mean, who doesn't like "hope"?!) to try to manipulate the American people!
Obama has VERY LITTLE relevant policy experience, has done just about jack sh** as a US Senator and is totally unqualified and clueless when it comes to being president. This is why he has to rely on vague themes and propaganda to manipulate the American people. Unfortunately for him, though, his "good friend" Rev. Wright has OUTED HIM as "JUST ANOTHER POLITICIAN WHO SAYS WHAT HE NEEDS TO SAY TO GET PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR HIM."
With friends like Rev. Wright (a COMPLETE racist, by the way), who needs enemies?!
VOTE HILLARY IN 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No. Republicans have admitted to picking Hillary in those polls to give a case for the super delegates to go for Hillary because she is seen as so beatable. Either way, I am a life time democrat but if Hillary takes the nomination out from under Obama, I am not voting in this election.
stop trying to persuade your readers to vote for hilary. those polls are skewed and a poll came out either late last week or today stating that you can't tell how either would hold up in November because only about 1/3 of the voters are allowed to vote in the primaries and u never get the results from the caucases. SHE NEEDS TO DROP OUT SO THAT THE DEMOCRATS CAN START REBUILDING THEIR IMAGE SO A DEMOCRAT CAN BEAT MCCAIN IN NOVEMBER
Hillary will win the nomination. Obama is a repeat of Howard Dean. A guy that lots of people got all hyped up about until they started to get to know him better and the "crush" wore off. Unfortunately Obama got a lot of delegates before the voters started to realize he was all talk and no experience. But the super-delegates will provide the votes necessary to put Hillary over the top.
THE REASON BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA HAS MORE MONEY THAN HILLARY IS BECAUSE ALL OF THE REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN DONATING THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT TO OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN!!!!!!! REPUBLICANS HAVE LITERALLY SPENT MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO DEFEAT HILLARY, BUT SHE CONTINUES TO FIGHT ON AND WIN THE BIG STATES (UNLIKE OBAMA) THAT ANY CANDIDATE **MUST** WIN IN ORDER TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY!!!!!!!!
THE REPUBLICANS ARE SCARED SH**LESS OF HILLARY BECAUSE — AS THIS NEW POLL SHOWS — HILLARY WILL KICK MCCAIN'S ASS IN A GENERAL ELECTION, WHILE BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA WOULD GET HIS SORRY ASS WHOOPED!!!!!!
VOTE HILLARY IN 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not everyone agrees with your views! I don't want to hear more about Hillary! I love your blog but you are really beginning to offend me! PLEASE STOP!
CLINTON SUCKS, DUDE.
SHE'S JUST LIKE ANY OTHER POLITICIAN. SHE LIES AND LOVES TO PLAY DIRTY. I THOUGHT YOU WANTED CHANGE? HER HUSBAND PREACHED ABOUT GAY RIGHTS AND IMPROVING THEIR WELFARE IN THE 90'S AND NADA. ZIP. NOTHING. I WOULD BE ASHAMED TO CALL HER MY PRESIDENT.

She won Florida…let's not forget….even w/out Michigan (Obama was not on the ballot), she still is leading the popular vote. People need to suck it up and vote for the most qualified. Obama is too trendy; all the college folks love him, but face it, Hillary has what it takes. Plus, Obama's preacher? SCARY.
GO HILLARY.
It's just incredible that you people are acting like this is still anyone's game. IT'S OVER…SHE CANNOT WIN unless she steals it. Is that what Democrats are for these days? Overturning the will of their party? It won't happen. For so many reasons you can't possibly understand. So many of the top Dem leadership have crossed over to Obama's side. There's not way they're going to allow Clinton to have this nomination…they'd be cutting their own necks. I have to tell you though that we Republicans are just doing the happy dance everyday this continues…it's eating up money, resources and creating nothing but bitter feelings in your own party. You guys can't even run a primary…and you want to run the country? What a joke.
HRC HAS TO GET 65% in all of the states in order to TIE Obama in delegates and votes. In PA she only got 55%. Even the superdelegates are coming out each day in support of Obama. She realizes this, but she would rather see the party crumble and divide than support a young "inexperienced" black man. It's not that she's much different that Obama policy wise, it's that she represents an evil side to the Democratic party, a power hungry mudslinging manipulative tell-you-what-you-want-to-hear politician who has the only has the ability to UNITE the GOP in November.
