Zogby: Obama Beats 'Rudy McRomney'
Democrat Barack Obama would defeat any of the three Republican front-runners - Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and Mitt Romney - in a head-to-head presidential election, but McCain and Giuliani would outpoll Democrats Hillary Clinton and John Edwards, a surprising new poll reveals. NewsMax has obtained in advance the results of the poll by Zogby International (www.zogby.com), which will release the results later Wednesday night. Zogby polled nearly 1,000 likely voters – 377 Democrats, 357 Republicans and 258 Independents. The 2008 GOP front-runners, sometimes referred to by political wags as "Rudy McRomney," showed mixed results in the Zogby poll.

But when matched against Obama, the Senator from Illinois outpolled McCain, 45.6 percent to 43.2 percent. Giuliani also beat Clinton, 48.1 percent to 43.1 percent, and Edwards, 46.7 percent to 43.3 percent. But matched against Obama, Giuliani trailed with 42.2 percent of the vote compared to 48.1 percent for Obama. In a head-to-head race with Romney, Clinton won by about 7 percentage points, while Obama and Edwards both beat Romney by about 15 points.
Former Sen. Fred Thompson, who has not announced his candidacy, actually drew slightly more votes than did Romney when matched against Clinton, Obama and Edwards.
