The Republican campaign’s been hurt by the troubled economy — with more respondents saying they think Obama would do a better job there than McCain. President Bush’s dismal approval ratings, along with questions about Republican running mate Sarah Palin’s readiness for the job have also worked to Obama’s advantage.
In a national poll by CNN/Opinion Research Corporation, Obama leads McCain 53 percent to 45 percent among likely voters. The 8-point lead is twice what it was in the last CNN/Opinion Research Corporation, taken in mid-September.
A Fox News/Ramusssen Reports poll of five battleground states finds little good news for McCain. Obama has widened his lead in Colorado, Florida and Missouri, and little has changed in two other key states, Ohio and Virginia, where Obama has the edge.
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll, however, shows that Obama now has the advantage in Ohio because more voters believe he would be a better steward of the economy. McCain still has the edge on leading the U.S. fight against terrorism and the Iraq war, but fewer voters identify those as top issues.
Other polls of battleground states, these by CNN/Time magazine/Opinion Research Corp., underscore the challenge for McCain in Indiana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin. The only one of those states where McCain enjoys a lead is Indiana, where 51 percent of likely voters say they back him compared to 46 percent for Obama. But that’s a slim margin, especially when you consider that Bush carried the state by 21 percentage points four years ago.
Finally, a CBS News poll shows the Democratic ticket leading the Republican ticket 47 to 43 percent among registered voters.
