Poll: Obama Gets Post-Convention Bounce
A new USA Today-Gallup Poll has Barack Obama finally moving out of the 40’s into a 50% to 43% lead over John McCain.
The Democratic National Convention significantly boosted Americans’ views of Barack Obama as a strong leader who “shares your values” and can manage the economy and Iraq, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken Saturday and Sunday finds.
Republican John McCain’s advantage in handling terrorism was dramatically reduced and his “unfavorable” rating ticked up to its highest level this year….
In the head-to-head race between the candidates, Obama now leads 50%-43% among registered voters. In the USA TODAY poll taken Aug. 21-23, the Illinois senator held a four-point lead.
The new USA TODAY survey shows Americans settling into their choices. Now, 21% of registered voters say they either haven’t decided or might change their minds. In a USA TODAY poll before the convention began, 30% were swing voters.
