Obama, in both polls, is leading his Rep., rivals by far greater margins than Hillary Clinton, indicating Obama would be the stronger nominee against any Republican.
In the NBC New/Wall Street Journal Poll, Clinton bests Giuliani by 3 points (46-43 percent) and Huckabee by 2 points (46-44 percent).Yet Obama leads Giuliani by 9 points (49-40 percent) and Huckabee by 12 points (48-36 percent), respectively. The reason Obama fares better in these match-ups is because of independents - they side with Obama but against Clinton.
Attached are the polls.

I know it's Fox, but it does have a 900 voter sample. McCain is ahead of Clinton by 5, Obama by 4. Both Clinton and Obama whip Huckabee by 9. The polling was done Dec. 18-19.
I'll tell you, I think McCain (right now) is going to be the nominee and it will be a very very close race, assuming he can hold up physically.
