Head to head, McCain matches up
Today’s LA Times / Bloomberg poll provides a nice little boost to the McCain camp with it having him ahead of both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The internals of the poll show McCain with a 37 point lead over Obama on the question of who is best equipped to deal with terrorism and a 13 point advantage on Iraq. Indeed, the only issue on which Obama is perceived as stronger than McCain is healthcare.
Obama’s big lead over McCain—55-20—is on who is best equipped to bring change to Washington, here Obama has a 55 to 20 lead. But on the question of who has the right experience to be president, McCain has a 31 point advantage.
Interestingly, a New York Times / CBS poll which showed Obama beating McCain 50 to 38 still showed the Arizona Senator with a significant advantage on national security. 48 percent of voters think that it is very likely that McCain would be an effective Commander in Chief, only 23 percent say the same of Obama. McCain also has a nine point advantage on who is best equipped to handle an international crisis.

February 28th, 2008 3:11pmMcCain heartily accepted the endorsement of Texas pastor Rev. John C. Hagee who believes that Armageddon is coming and that the anti-Christ will be the head of the European Union. I'm critical of the EU as much as the next guy but Hagee is off his rocker.
