Confirmation of a Move in Mac's Direction!

More good polling news for John McCain. Zogby is out tonight with a new national poll showing John McCain leading both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Here are the numbers:

45% John McCain
39% Hillary Clinton
6% Ralph Nader

44% John McCain
39% Barack Obama
5% Ralph Nader

Riding high after locking up his party’s presidential nomination, Republican John McCain of Arizona has moved ahead of both of his potential Democratic Party rivals in a national general election test, the latest Zogby telephone survey shows.

Perhaps profiting from the continuing political battle across the aisle, McCain would defeat Hillary Clinton of New York by six points and Barack Obama of Illinois by 5 points, the survey shows. Clinton and Obama are locked in a tight battle to win the Democratic Party nomination, a fight that has grown nasty at times recently and threatens to continue on all summer long until the party’s national convention in Denver this August.

The telephone survey of 1,001 likely voters nationwide was conducted by live operators calling from Zogby’s call center in Upstate New York on March 13-14, 2008. It carries a margin of error of +/- 3.2 percentage points.
