Edwards Would Beat McCain

In a just published Newsweek Poll, John Edwards would beat Republican frontrunner John McCain in a Presidential election, 48-44, and is in a statistical dead heat with Rudy Giuliani.

The poll was conducted between January 24 and 25.

The same poll showed that President Bush's approval rating had dropped to the lowest point in the poll's history - just 30%. And this coming after the State of the Union address where he might have hoped to get a boost.
