WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton trails five top Republican presidential contenders in general election match-ups, a drop in support from this summer, according to a poll released on Monday.
Clinton's top Democratic rivals, Barack Obama and John Edwards, still lead Republicans in hypothetical match-ups ahead of the November 4, 2008, presidential election, the survey by Zogby Interactive showed.
Clinton, a New York senator who has been at the top of the Democratic pack in national polls in the 2008 race, trails Republican candidates Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, John McCain and Mike Huckabee by three to five percentage points in the direct matches.
In July, Clinton narrowly led McCain, an Arizona senator, and held a five-point lead over former New York Mayor Giuliani, a six-point lead over former Tennessee Sen. Thompson and a 10-point lead over former Massachusetts Gov. Romney.
She was not matched against the fast-rising Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, in the July poll.
The results come as other national polls show the race for the Democratic nomination tightening five weeks before the first contest in Iowa, which kicks off the state-by-state nomination battles in each party.
Some Democrats have expressed concerns about the former first lady's electability in a race against Republicans. The survey showed Clinton not performing as well as Obama and Edwards among independents and younger voters, pollster John Zogby said.
"The questions about her electability have always been there, but as we get close this suggests that is a problem," Zogby said.
Obama, an Illinois senator, and Edwards, a former North Carolina senator, both hold narrow leads over the Republican contenders in the hypothetical 2008 match-ups.
"It all points to a very competitive general election at a time when many people think the Democrats are going to win the White House," Zogby said.
The poll of 9,355 people had a margin of error of plus or minus one percentage point. The interactive poll surveys individuals who have registered to take part in online polls.

I didn’t scroll down to see whether anyone else pointed this out, so, at the risk of being told to “See Post #32” or something, I will point out that this is NOT A POLL. It’s an Internet survey among a self-selected group of people who agree to receive e-mails from Zogby. I’m actually signed up as a Democrat on Zogby’s surveys. : )
I saw Zogby “Interactive” and knew immediately the poll was worthless.

Even though I don’t like Romney, 8 years as VP would give him time to prove his new conservative beliefs, which would satisfy my major concern.
Is that a double issue?
Just a matter of time until this red bitch or one of her comrades gets in and then all bets are off.
Actually, I am one of Zogby's registered interactive poll takers. I vote in evey single election, too. And believe me, I favor the local dog catcher over Hillary.
But then, I'm also a FReeper!
I am SO glad that these moronic Democrats don’t realize that Hillary is the Republican Party’s best hope for holding the White House due to her negatives.
I just hope they don’t wise up and nominate Obama instead. He would be harder to beat.
If Hillary came out maybe Rosie and Ellen would campaign for her.
She’s passing up some big opportunities by staying in the closet.
Clinton 2008: “I did not have sex with that woman, Miss Abedin.....
Hillery will "Come Out" as a former closet queer, and run as the first openly gay nominee for the president of the USA, divorce her wigged out husband, shoot to the top of the polls, and give all of her opponents a lickin'.
This is a liberal commies dream!
Go Qeerily in 2008!
Barny Franks will be Secretary of Defence.
Wow, spread your cheeks JCS!
Do we panicked conservatives have a RINO queer we can run against her, We better start looking! All the Rudy Rooters are panicking again!
Seriously, I think we can win next year but we need the best candidate with a strong, positive agenda.
Hillary is such a divisive figure her nomination by the Democrats could be helpful to the Republicans but only if we put forth a well-qualified candidate.
Perhaps this it to set her up as a “come back kid”
Glad you appreciated the humor, I did yours!
Right now, I think only Rudy can LOSE to Hillary (by creating a split in the conservative vote). Hillary’s baggage is going to destroy her among swing voters and among hardcore liberals, which is why I think she will lose the primaries.
From Reuters at that
