Will Democrats really desert their party for McCain?

Uh oh…this is bad news for the Democrat Party presidential hopefuls. According to a new Gallup poll a sizeable proportion of Democrats would vote for John McCain next November if he is matched up against the candidate they do not support for the Democratic nomination.

It appears Hillary Clinton supporters are the biggest deserters with more than 25% of them saying they would vote for McCain if Barack Obama is the nominee.

On the flip side, 19% of Obama supporters say they would vote for John McCain if Clinton is the nominee.

This is good news for McCain who still has questionable support from the conservative base of the Republican Party in an election that will probably be close. Perhaps McCain will be the next president…then again; you know what they say about polls. The only one that matters is on Election Day.
