2008 Presidential Election

General Election Power Rankings

This page will be updated regularly with rankings of the all the candidate's chances to win the 2008 Presidential Election. They are ranked by the chance I think they have of winning the Presidential Election.

#1

Barack Obama


Barack Obama takes over as the most likely to win the general election after his win in Iowa. I believe he is now more likely to win the Democratic nomination than Hillary and should face off well with potential Republicans.


#2

John McCain


John McCain continues to poll the best against Democrats. He is the only Republican that has led Democrats in recent general election polls. Now that he is a small favorite to win the Republican nomination he becomes the second most likely election winner.


#3

Rudy Giuliani


Rudy Giuliani has a decent chance of winning the Republican nomination and would likely draw a decent amount of support outside the Republican party in a general election.


#4

Hillary Clinton


Hillary Clinton falls all the way to fourth after Iowa. She went from a heavy favorite to a slight underdog for the Democratic nomination. I don't think Hillary would fare well in a general election. Too many people are unwilling to vote for her.


#5

John Edwards


John Edwards gets the fifth and final place solely because I think he could do well in a general election. I don't think he will ever get a chance but he polls very well against Republicans.
