American voters still haven't figured out whom they want to win.

From Newsweek:

[Obama's] camp labels [Hillary Clinton's] "toughness" as so divisive that disenchanted Bush voters, and even many Democrats, will turn away from her. "When 50 percent of the people in the country say they won't vote for her," says Obama's campaign manager David Plouffe, "her ability to attract independents and moderate Republicans is very limited."

Voters still haven't figured out whom they want to win. Polls paint a confusing picture. Among Democrats nationwide, Clinton holds a big lead over Obama and is still perceived as the candidate most likely to win in November. But that advantage evaporates when the two are matched up against leading Republicans. In surveys of voters from both parties, Clinton has a narrow, four-point lead over Rudy Giuliani in a recent NEWSWEEK POLL; Obama has a three-point lead. But against other Republicans, Obama comes out ahead, leading Mitt Romney by 16 and Fred Thompson by 13, compared with four points for Clinton in both scenarios.
