Hillary Clinton’s Swing-State Advantage

In all these polls about "Hillary Clinton’s Swing-State Advantage" in a head-to-head versus McCain, I have not seen anything about the possibility that the strongest Hillary advocates actually have an incentive to say they would vote for McCain over Obama, regardless of whether they would or not. The Clinton campaign has primarily been ONLY about this "advantage" over the past few weeks, and the most partisan Hillary supporters certainly should have gotten the message that this is what is perceived to be their strongest argument left. If polled, why would Clinton advocates say they'd support Obama over McCain? That defeats their own campaign.

Wouldn't the strongest Obama advocates do the same thing?

Probably, although not nearly as much because of the premise of message. Whereas Hillary's campaign is pointing at the head to head polls as their argument for nomination, Obama's is pointing to the delegate totals.
