Claim: Democratic race helps McCain
Published: March 23, 2008 at 9:19 PM
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has gained majority popularity in national polls and in critical states including Florida and Pennsylvania, The Washington Times reported Sunday.
Pollster John Zogby told the newspaper Democratic rivals Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are being hurt by their attacks on one another.
"It's been a bad couple of weeks for the Democrats, with Obama and Hillary continuing to snipe at each other, beginning the process of a thousand cuts," said Zogby, an independent election pollster.
Democratic candidates have suffered because of "disunity and lack of clarity," said Zogby. "Second, there is the inability thus far to break through to the swing voters, and three, McCain is an appealing candidate, and he is not George W. Bush."
