Obama’s lead over McCain narrows in ABC/Post poll

Tue Oct 7, 2008
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama leads Republican John McCain by 50 percent to 46 percent among likely voters in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll, down from a 9-point edge a week earlier.

The new poll released on Tuesday was conducted Saturday through Monday, after the candidates met in their first debate on Friday.

Obama had led McCain by 52 percent to 43 percent in the poll’s previous survey released last week.

In the new poll, Obama, an Illinois senator, gained support among independents, closing a substantial gap with McCain who had been favored by crucial swing voters.

McCain, an Arizona senator, now leads Obama 48 percent to 45 percent among independents, the poll found. McCain was 10 points ahead of Obama among independent voters immediately after the Republican convention in early September.

ABC said McCain was laboring under the unpopular legacy of President George W. Bush, a fellow Republican.

Amid the U.S. financial crisis, a record 70 percent of Americans disapprove of Bush’s job performance, while only 26 percent approve, a new low for the Bush administration, the poll found.

The telephone poll of 1,070 registered voters and 916 likely voters had a 3-point margin of error.

Obama doesn’t know it yet, but he is in the fight of his life. Barack Hussein Obama, is facing a “real” American, John McCain. (”How’s that workin’ for ya, Barry?”) John McCain isn’t hiding his Birth Certificate. John McCain isn’t sequestering his school records from elementary school through college and post grad school from public view. “REAL” Americans have nothing to hide. We’re OPEN BOOKS because we believe in Democracy. This may NOT be an important issue to you, Barry Soerto or whatever name you’re using today, BUT it is to US…

John McCain has nothing to HIDE… None of US know who Barack Obama IS- Where he was born, what kind of student he was, no one has spoken to his father’s family or his mother’s family for that matter.

What in the world are you hiding Barry/Barack? Curious Americans want to know. After all, you are applying for the leadership position of our country. If this information doesn’t come forth sooner rather than later, I’m afraid you won’t be considered a good fit for this position. Fortunately, for US “TRANSPARENCY” of who our President is… is a key requirement for the job. However, unfortunate for YOU, your “SECRETS”will continue to reside with only you and “Who IS the Real Barack Obama?”!
