Rasmussen: Obama Leads McCain By 4

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Democrats, McCain, Polls, Republicans

Obama - 48%
McCain - 44%

Obama lost 1 and McCain gained 1, and I think we’re starting to see the post-Hillary bounce subside a bit for Obama. Of note, this is the first time in 7 days, Obama has slipped below 49%.

The 5 day:
06/16/2008: McCain - 44%, Obama - 48%
06/15/2008: McCain - 43%, Obama - 49%
06/14/2008: McCain - 43%, Obama - 49%
06/13/2008: McCain - 44%, Obama - 49%
06/12/2008: McCain - 44%, Obama - 50%

So how are the candidates perceived by the voters?

Some numbers…

McCain is viewed favorably by 55% of voters nationwide and unfavorably by 44%. The numbers for Obama are 54% favorable and 43% unfavorable. Opinions are held more strongly about Obama–31% have a Very Favorable opinion of the Democratic hopeful while 27% hold a Very Unfavorable opinion. For McCain, those numbers are 17% Very Favorable and 19% Very Unfavorable.

It really couldn’t be tighter.

More tomorrow…
