New Poll: Washington near mirror of Oregon

Again the poll is limited to Obama and Clinton for the Dems to Huckabee, Romney, Giuliani and McCain for the GOP. It's very unfortunate that Edwards wasn't included. He's certainly outperformed Giuliani thus far and is, IMHO, much more deserving of being included than Giuliani is. I'm skeptical that he could have performed better than Obama or Clinton, but he's damn sure earned the right to be in it whereas Giuliani hasn't. And who knows, Edwards could have surprised me... if they'd included him! Anyway, to the numbers...

Dems win every Washington match-up except for McCain v. Clinton, in which case McCain wins 49% to 46%. But that's slightly better than in the Oregon poll where she loses to McCain 49% to 45%.

Unlike in the Oregon poll, in this one McCain doesn't come close to tying Obama. In Washington Obama takes all comers handily. Instead of the 47% to 47% tie in Oregon, there McCain loses to him 43% to 52%.
