Yet Another Bad Poll For McCain

From the LA Times:

Although Democrats are tangled in a fractious primary contest, both Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama probably would win the White House against presumptive GOP nominee John McCain if the election were held now, according to a new Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll.

Obama: 46%
McCain: 40%

And remember that Dems are still divided, deflating poll numbers for both Obama and Clinton (since a lot of hard core supporters are currently claiming they would vote for McCain if their candidate loses).

These are terrible numbers for McCain. But expect to see worse down the road, probably in June when Clinton concedes and endorses Obama.

Among voters 65 and older, Clinton and McCain were essentially tied; but McCain led Obama 47% to 41%.

Among people ages 18 to 44, Obama led McCain 55% to 35%. Clinton led McCain 48% to 35%.

Among baby boomers -- the giant post-World War II generation that will begin to reach retirement age in the next president's term -- both Democrats edged out McCain: Clinton 47% to 39%, Obama 45% to 37%.

And this isn't really an outlier. Yesterday Hotline released similar poll results:
Obama: 47%
McCain: 43%

Not looking too good for Old Man McCain. He's been getting a free ride and should be at his peak right now.
