WASHINGTON -- As he emerges from a sometimes- bitter primary campaign, presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain poses a stiff challenge to either of his potential Democratic opponents in the general election, a new Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll has found.

The findings underscore the difficulties ahead for Democrats as they hope to retake the White House during a time of war, with voters giving McCain far higher marks when it comes to experience, fighting terrorism and dealing with the situation in Iraq.

Both Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton have made ending America's involvement in the war a centerpiece of their campaigns. And even though a clear majority of those polled said the war was not worth waging, about half of registered voters said McCain -- a Vietnam vet who has supported the Bush administration's military strategy -- was better able to deal with Iraq.

In head-to-head contests, the poll found, McCain leads Clinton by 6 percentage points (46% to 40%) and Obama by 2 points (44% to 42%). Neither lead is commanding given that the survey, conducted Feb. 21-25, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

The Arizona senator is viewed favorably by 61% of all registered voters, including a plurality of Democrats.

The survey showed that McCain's potential advantages extend even to domestic issues, where he is considered to be most vulnerable. Even though McCain has joked about his lack of expertise on economic issues, voters picked him over Obama, 42% to 34%, as being best able to handle the economy. However, Clinton led McCain on that issue, 43% to 34%.

"I just think he's older, he's more experienced, and he's got the betterment of the country in mind," said Robert Fear, 79, a registered Democrat from Newton, Ill., who said he planned to support McCain in November.

He is a strong candidate - I think it would be silly to deny that.

I don't think the outcome of any of this stuff can be claimed with any certainty.

Though it must be said - the bulk of the media coverage is on the ongoing spats between BO and HC. I doubt that does a lot to endear them to undecided voters.

It would be a good contest between JM and BO.

Yes - which is worse - old politician or young inexperienced? Neither option does much for me.

McCain is a good guy. He has great experience. Obama is energizing lots of voters. It will be a tough contest.

O is in a dead heat (ish) with HC. Hardly a landslide of Democrats.

That's my view also. If he got in - I think he'd be a single-term only.

Maybe the American public will listen when McCain brings it up, they certainly don't when HC does...

I can't wait to watch Obama fail. Seriously.

You had better hope your employer doesnt use this same attitude in about 30 years. I can see how pissed off you would be if your boss let you go for the reasons you are suggesting here. My god man!
