Edited on Wed Jul-30-08 05:52 PM by ProSense
What happened?

McCain's campaign is a joke. He's running kooky ads, making blunders and running behind Obama in most polls, except this one.


Interesting numbers:

–39% of respondents felt media coverage of Obama has been too positive, 11% feel it has been too negative, 49% feel it has been about right.

–12% of respondents felt media coverage of McCain has been too positive, 26% feel it has been too negative, 62% feel it has been about right.

–71% of respondents are certain of whom they will for and 24% may change their minds.

–38% of respondents are certain they will vote for Obama, 13% plan on voting for him but may change their minds.

–33% of respondents are certain they will vote for McCain, 11% plan on voting for him but may change their minds.

–In a four-way race: Obama 46, McCain 42, Nader 6, Barr 3

–63% of respondents had a favorable impression of Obama, 33% had an unfavorable impression.

–62% of respondents has a favorable impression of McCain, 32%

–Which candidate would better handle the economy: Obama 54, McCain 43

–Which candidate would better handle the war in Iraq: McCain 52, Obama 45

–Which candidate would better handle health care: Obama 56, McCain 39

–Which candidate would better handle taxes: Obama 51, McCain 45

–Which candidate would better handle jobs: Obama 57, McCain 38

–Which candidate would better handle gas prices: Obama 51, McCain 30


If not for the media, McBlunder would be polling in the 30s or lower.
