Recent Rasmussen polls show Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards defeating all Republican candidates when matched up against them one on one. Hillary and Obama are both virtually tied with Gulliani and McCain, while Edwards beats them by almost 10% each.
Not only does Edwards lead every Republican in the race, but he would win in a landslide against all but two of them. Check it out:
March 26-27, 2007
