A slight tightening today, and the candidates are essentially tied with less than 100 days to go until the election.
What’s on voters’ minds? Well…
As with everything in a political election season, there is a partisan divide on priorities. Among Democrats, 53% say the economy is most important, 17% name domestic issues as their primary concern, and 14% say national security.For Republicans, 35% focus first on national security, 31% on the economy, and 14% on fiscal issues.
As for those not affiliated with either major party, 51% say the economy is number one and 16% say the top issue is national security.
These numbers definitely favor Obama, so if he can keep dominating the economic discussion, it’ll be hard for McCain to make much headway.

Hey, at least I’m consistent, right?
Not only that, I bet the readers of this blog have a much clearer view of where the national mood is than readers of other blogs.
