The results of the latest Black Bear Blog poll show that readers think that if Barack Obama and John McCain go head to head for the presidency, McCain would win convincingly.
Today marks the last day of the primary voting campaign. Democrat voters will head to the polls in Montana and South Dakota to cast a ballot for either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. It will be interesting to see what kind of a voter turn out these two states have as the media has already decided that Obama has won and will announce his victory tonight. Unless Clinton has an ace up her sleeve, it certainly appears that it will be McCain vs. Obama come November.
Here are the results of the Black Bear Blog non-scientific poll.
Pick a Winner! From the pairing below, who do you think will win in November?
* Obama vs. McCain – McCain will win: 52% (108)
* Obama vs. McCain – Obama will win: 23% (47)
* Clinton vs. McCain – McCain will win: 10% (20)
* Clinton vs. McCain – Clinton will win: 10% (20)
* None of the above will be elected: 6% (12)
Total Votes : 207
155 readers were prophetic enough to see that is sure looks like Obama and McCain on the ticket in November. Of those, a clear decisive majority, 108, thought McCain would beat Obama head to head. 47 picked Obama to win.
We do have some hopeful readers who thought it would be McCain against Clinton. In that match up, it was a draw with 10%, or 20 readers, opting for both to come out on top.
I’m not exactly what 12 readers had in mind when they believed that none of the three candidate would even get elected.
Once again it was a fun poll, which is the intent. I hope you’ll take a moment while you are here to participate in the new poll located just to the right in the right side bar. Thanks for playing.
