Back on Feb 25th, Rasmussen released a poll among "all voters" showing the following:

Obama, Definitely FOR: 34%, Definitely AGAINST: 43%
Clinton, Definitely FOR: 32%, Definitely AGAINST: 46%
McCain, Definitely FOR: 34%, Definitely AGAINST: 33%

I expected Clinton's "against" numbers to be high, but not Obama's.

And then this today, based on Hillary's "3 AM" ad:

Likely voters, "Which candidate would be best President to answer a foreign policy crisis call?"

Obama: 25%
Clinton: 25%
McCain: 42%

A startling tie between the two Democrat candidates while McCain has a sizeable lead. I don't think one could assume that Obama and Clinton voters' second choice would automatically be the other candidate either (IOW, I don't think you can just combine them for 50%).

Interesting numbers at this phase.
