'08 National Polls

In the new ABC News/Washington Post poll (the full details of which will be released later today), Hillary leads Obama comfortably, 41% to 17%, and Giuliani leads McCain by seven points, 34% to 27%

Newsweek's new poll shows the following hypothetical head-to-head matchups:

Clinton 48, McCain 47
Clinton 47, Giuliani 48

Obama 46, McCain 44
Obama 45, Giuliani 47

Edwards 48, McCain 43
Edwards 48, Giuliani 45

Patrick Ruffini notes the RV sample on the Newsweek poll is R 26%, D 37%, and I 33%. When adjusted to reflect the composition of the electorate in the 2006 midterms, Ruffini comes up with the following totals:

Clinton 45.2%, McCain 50.5%
Clinton 44.6%, Giuliani 51.8%

Obama 44.4%, McCain 47.4%
Obama 42.5%, Giuliani 50.6%

Edwards 45.9%, McCain 47.2%
Edwards 45.2%, Giuliani 49.3%
