"HILADELPHIA: Hillary Clinton, already fighting with her back to the wall, got more bad news - Democrats now see her rival Barack Obama as better able to defeat Republican presumptive candidate John McCain.

A poll by ABC News/Washington Posed released yesterday shows that Democrats now believe that Obama is more likely to win in November elections by a huge margin of 62 to 31 per cent. This takes away her major argument to super delegates, who are likely to finally decide on the candidate, that she is more likely to win the election.

This new figures show dramatic support for Obama who was trailing Clinton by five percentage points in February.

The poll finds other pronounced problems for Clinton. Among all Americans, 58 percent now say she's not honest and not trustworthy, 16 points higher than in a pre campaign poll two years ago. Obama beats her head-to-head on this attribute by a 23-point margin. "
