Posted on: Tuesday, 7 March 2006, 09:00 CST
Possible 2008 U.S. presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has more support outside his party than Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., an ABC poll says.
Some 59 percent of 1,000 U.S. adults surveyed in March had a favorable opinion of McCain while 52 percent had a favorable opinion of Clinton. The poll has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
On the flip side, 46 percent had an unfavorable view of Clinton while just 29 percent had a negative view of McCain, the poll concludes. Clinton's strongly unfavorable rating of 33 percent was triple McCain's rate of 11 percent.
Clinton had stronger support within the Democratic Party than McCain did among Republicans, but he had stronger support across party lines.
Nearly three-quarters of conservative Republicans rated Clinton unfavorably, the ABC poll concludes. In contrast, 60 percent of liberal Democrats gave McCain a favorable rating.
