Obama loses one, and so the numbers are back where they were at before the weekend.
So how are the candidates viewed by their voters and their respective bases?
Obama is viewed favorably by 56% of voters, McCain by 51%. For McCain, that figure in unchanged since yesterday and represents his lowest favorability rating since Obama clinched the Democratic Presidential Nomination in early June.A closer look a these numbers suggests an even more substantial advantage for Obama—39% of voters have a Very Favorable opinion of the Democratic nominee while 32% have a Very Unfavorable opinion. The comparable numbers for McCain are 23% Very Favorable and 26% Very Unfavorable.
Just 48% of Republicans have a Very Favorable opinion of their party’s nominee. 72% of Democrats are that enthusiastic about Obama.
And the electoral projections…
Currently, Obama has the edge in every state won by John Kerry four years ago. However, of the states won by George Bush, McCain is trailing in four and five others are considered a toss-up.
