In this week’s Newsweek poll, which asks voters to choose in various match-ups between current presidental campaign leaders, the closest race is between the two front runners, Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton, who are separated by only 3 points, with 5% unsure. Obama and Edwards do much better against all three Republicans. Match-ups and results:
- Giuliani 46% – Clinton 49%
- Giuliani 43% – Obama 50%
- Giuliani 44% – Edwards 50%
- McCain 44% – Clinton 50%
- McCain 39% – Obama 50%
- McCain 42% – Edwards 52%
- Romney 35% – Clinton 57%

I still expect Al Gore to throw his hat in, come fall.
