CNN Poll Shows Democrats Leading Republicans in White House Race

CNN has a new poll out that shows both Obama and Clinton leading all Republicans including John McCain, although McCain gives each of them the toughest race. Here are some figures from the polls:

Obama 56%, Guiliani 40%
Obama 59%, Romney 37%
Obama 49%, McCain 48%
Obama 58%, Huckabee 39%

Clinton 55%, Guiliani 42%
Clinton 58%, Romney 40%
Clinton 50%, McCain 49%
Clinton 56%, Huckabee 42%

Interestingly, all Republicans run 1% to 3% better against Clinton than against Obama. Obama gets a bigger percentage against Guiliani, Romney, and Huckabee, but not against McCain. Clinton has the highest "would definitely vote for" rating at 37%, but ties with McCain on the would "definitely not vote for rating" at 43%. Obama is at 30% and 38% in both categories respectively. According to this poll, over 50% of those polled said that would definitely not vote for Giuliani, Romney or Huckabee. Hopefully one of those three will get the Republican nomination.
