linton would lose a general election to Republicans Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Fred
Thompson, John McCain and Mike Huckabee by three to five percentage points in a head-to-head race, the survey by Zogby Interactive showed.

In July, Clinton held a five point lead in the same poll over Giuliani, edged out McCain by two points and had a clear lead over other contenders.

"The questions about her electability have always been there, but as we get close this suggests that is a problem," Zogby said.

Clinton's top Democratic contenders, Barack Obama and John Edwards, still hold narrow leads over the Republican candidates in a hypothetical 2008 race, the survey showed.

Obama challenges Clinton on health care


Obama challenges Clinton on health care

LITTLETON, N.H.-Barack Obama is challenging Hillary Clinton's health care plan, arguing that her promises of universal coverage depend on key details on which she has been unwilling to take a clear position.

The two Democratic candidates recently have been sparring over health care, with Clinton charging that Obama's plan isn't really universal health care because he would not require all Americans to purchase health insurance as she does. Obama has countered that his plan offers guaranteed access to health insurance and lower costs.

But after an event Monday in Littleton, N.H., Obama said her promise of universal coverage will be no more than a hollow "political talking point" unless she can come up with a way of enforcing the requirement to buy health insurance that she proposes.

Barack Obama Says that the Only Way to Pass Universal Health Care is By Bringing Republicans and Democrats Together

Barack Obama Says that the Only Way to Pass Universal Health Care is By Bringing Republicans and Democrats Together

November 25, 2007 -- Des Moines, IA -- At a roundtable discussion on health care in Des Moines today, U.S. Senator Barack Obama said that the only way to create a universal health care system in America is by electing a President who can bring Democrats and Republicans together to create an open, transparent reform process that can overcome the special interest groups standing in the way.

"There's been a lot of talk about the different plans the candidates have proposed to create a universal health care system in this country," Obama said. "But the reason Americans don't have health insurance isn't because they don't want it, it's because they can't afford it, which is why my plan doesn't have a mandate and goes further in cutting costs than any other proposal offered in this race. But what's most important is that we elect a President with the proven ability to bring Democrats and Republicans together to get results so we can stand up to the special interests. That's what I did in Illinois, and that's what I'll do as President."

Obama said he has a record of bringing Republicans and Democrats together in the Illinois state senate, where he expanded health care coverage to an additional 150,000 children and parents.
