McCain drew 48% to Clinton's 50% and Obama's 49% in the survey, putting the three hopefuls in statistical dead heats. Clinton bagged a 37% "definitely vote for" score, the highest among all leading candidates in both parties. Obama was second with 30%, and McCain third, with 22%. The worst numbers were for Mitt Romney: He came last among Republicans, against either Clinton or Obama, and 62% said they would "definitely not vote for" him. (More Election 2008 stories.)
