In the most recent Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely Pennsylvania voters, John McCain leads Hillary Clinton 48% to 42% and Barack Obama 46% to 38%. No other Republican fares so well against the Democratic frontrunners. Clinton leads Romney 49% to 39% in the Keystone State while Obama leads the former Massachusetts Governor 43% to 38%. In a match-up between Clinton and Mike Huckabee, it’s a toss-up--Clinton 46% Huckabee 44%. In October, Hillary Clinton had an edge over all Republican opponents, including a ten point lead over McCain. McCain’s favorability ratings have also jumped since October. The Arizona senator is now viewed favorably by 64% of voters, up from 53%. Barack Obama is viewed favorably by 59%, Clinton by 53%. Data released Monday reveals the Barack Obama is seen as the most electable candidate in either political party. Since winning in Iowa, Obama has pulled close to Hillary Clinton in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll. That same poll shows a tight race among Republicans with five candidates in double digits but none able to establish themselves as a clear frontrunner. A Rasmussen Reports analysis suggests that could change if McCain wins in New Hampshire. Over a quarter of Pennsylvanians (27%) think the death penalty should be banned in that state. Sixty-one percent (61%) disagree. A larger number of republicans (71%) are against a death penalty ban than democrats (54%). The survey was conducted in partnership with Fox Television Stations, Inc.
