Seems to me that these are the only poll numbers that Democratic voters, delegates and super-delegates ought to be paying serious attention to. And these match-up figures have held fairly steady throughout the ups and downs of the primary season.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) — Presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain trails Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in hypothetical matchups, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll released on Wednesday.

Illinois Sen. Obama leads McCain by 12 percentage points — 52 percent to 40 percent; New York Sen. Clinton leads McCain by 6 points — 50 percent to 44 percent, the poll found.
