Clinton (D) 53%, Huckabee (R) 44%
Clinton (D) 52%, Romney (R) 46%

Obama (D) 53%, Huckabee (R) 42%
Obama (D) 57%, Romney (R) 39%

This data echoes the November SurveyUSA Election Poll if Iowa likely caucus voters which said Obama will fare significantly better than Hillary
in the general election. Obama easily beats all of his Republican opponents (with 50% or more against each of them), while Clinton's margin
is significantly slimmer against Giuliani, Romney, and Huckabee while she loses to McCain. The pertinent facts from the SurveyUSA poll:

Obama leads...

* Giuliani by 13 points
* Romney by 14 points
* Huckabee by 21 points (no track; this is the first time we’ve run that pairing)
* McCain by 8 points

Still ahead in Iowa in most matchups, but by smaller and, over time, narrowing margins, is Hillary Clinton.

Clinton leads Giuliani by 4 points. (1/3 of Obama’s lead)
Clinton leads Romney by 6 points. (1/2 of Obama’s lead)
Clitnon leads Huckabee by 6 points (1/3 of Obama’s lead)

...but trails McCain by 4 points.

According to this poll data, Obama is clearly more electable than Hillary in the general election.
