NBC/WSJ National Poll: Who's most electable? Clinton 51% Obama 29%
"On the Democrats' side, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton leads Illinois Sen. Barack Obama 47% to 32%. For her, that's roughly the same as in December, but Mr. Obama is up nine points. Third-place John Edwards, the former North Carolina senator, gets 12%, about what he had last month.

Most Democrats -- 51% -- say Mrs. Clinton would have the best chance to beat a Republican; 29% say Mr. Obama, up from 18% last month. Among Americans overall, 47% have positive views of Mrs. Clinton, 41% negative -- her best reading since 2004.

The Democrats' eventual nominee will start with a leg up: 48% of Americans want a Democrat to be elected president, and 30% a Republican."

6. Are Democrats the best people to judge what independents and Republicans think?
I don't see the relevance of this poll - Democrats are going to vote (generally) for the Democratic nominee. I want to know who Independents and moderates think is the most electable - as they are the ones who need to switch sides. Given past experience more of them prefer Obama.
