The latest Zogby poll shows John McCain running rings around Hillary Clinton in a theoretical presidential matchup:
(keeping in mind that this is without the benefit of a bruising primary that brings down both their negatives, and it presumes that McCain could get past the Freepers and actually win the Republican primary...) McCain also beats John Kerry inthe poll, but honestly, does anyone really care...?
Back in the real world, the poll also reiterates the total deflation of George W. Bush's support across the board, in red states and blue, and in every conceivable job performance category, including the war on terror, his centerpiece issue (The conservative UK Independent's Friday headline was a keeper: America turns on Bush over Iraq). Wingers tempted to write off Zogby will find no comfort in any other poll, including CNN/USA Today Gallup, and even Fox/Opinion Dynamics -- all show the same trend. Bush (and Congress, for that matter,) are officially in the crapper.
Rasmussen, who was probably the most accurate pollster during the 2004 election, released a poll today showing Bush's job approval rating at 48%, with an even more astounding 49% of respondents saying Bush was more responsible for starting the Iraq war than Saddam Hussein. Iin that same poll, 70% say prisoners at Gitmo have been treated "about right" or "better than they deserve," and 52% say global warming is a threat to the human race...
