The McCain campaign’s more aggressive tone is prompting pushback from the public: Registered voters by a broad margin now believe John McCain is more focused on attacking his opponent than on addressing the issues in the 2008 presidential election.
Barack Obama, by contrast, is perceived even more widely as sticking to the issues, this new ABC News/Washington Post poll finds – a striking point of differentiation between the two.
It would seem that John McCain has underestimated the mood of the general public. Are we surprised?
Candidate is mainly:
Addressing Attacking
the issues his opponent
Now:
McCain 35% 59
Obama 68 26
8/22:
McCain 45% 48
Obama 64 29
The important question here is, what about those coveted Independent voters.
The deciding factor, as ever in presidential politics, is independents. They see McCain as mainly attacking his opponent, by 61-33 percent, but Obama as mainly addressing the issues, by 68 -26 percent.
McCain does not poll very well with anyone other than Republicans, which is no surprise. The old man and the P have nothing to run on. Let's face it shall we? McCain and the Republican's are afraid of the issues which confront both you and I.
