Current data suggests obama is the best candidate against McCain

Recent polling suggests that Barack Obama is the candidate who is best equpipped to beat John McCain in November.

As you can see, Obama is favored to win the nomination in most polls, and Hillary is projected to lose. Actually there is almost a 6% absolute average difference between the margin of victory from these polls as the chart below indicates:



This is a strong argument that I hope the Obama campaign makes repeatedly. Saying you believe in polls doesn't play well with the American people, but there's a clever way to frame this without even mentioning a poll.
