The newest polls show that Senator Hillary Clinton is the strongest democratic candidate to take on John McCain in November, winning by 10 points.

Over the past two weeks since the Pennsylvania primary, there has been a dynamic shift in opinion on who would be the strongest democratic candidate against McCain in the general election, said Geoff Garin, chief strategist for the Clinton Campaign in a conference call today. Clinton has a comfortable lead on McCain in key swing states like Ohio and Florida, which is not the case for Obama.

According to the newest polls, Clinton is gaining more ground with blue collar voters as well as independent and swing state voters, which were previously for Obama.

“There is a dominant issue in the election – who had the knowledge and the leadership to turn this economy around,” Garin said. Clinton has been doing progressively well and voters believe she is the stronger candidate to fixing the problem of the economy.
