McCain Tops Clinton in Quinnipiac Poll
They both voted for the war in Iraq. Both have angered key wings of their own political parties and both seem to be overhyped "media darlings.” So, perhaps it’s no surprise that a Quinnipiac University poll has Senators John McCain (R-Ariz) and Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) in a statistical tie for the 2008 presidency with a large disclaimer – if the election were held today. In a head-to-head contest, McCain tops Clinton 44-40 percent, according to the poll. The telephone poll of 1,230 voters surveyed from Nov. 28 to Dec. 4, which had a margin of error of 2.8 percentage points, found McCain with 44 percent of the vote and Clinton with 40 percent - a statistical dead heat.
Story Continues Below Though neither has declared his or her respective candidacy for the White House, both McCain and Clinton have long been rumored as among the frontrunners in their respective parties. The senators seem to benefit from strong name recognition – largely because they are on TV news programs almost every day. The poll results may be called into question, however. A review of the complete poll results reveals that McCain and Clinton were running against three "formidable and ubiquitous” candidates – "Someone Else,” "Wouldn’t Vote,” and "Don’t Know.” The election is less than three years away.
