| Description | A new Pew poll directly measures voter sentiment on the question of which candidate is best equipped to handle the current crisis, and it finds Obama ahead by double-digits, even among independents:
[V]oters favor Barack Obama over John McCain as the presidential candidate best able to address the current financial crisis: 47% favor Obama, while 35% choose McCain. Independents prefer Obama over McCain by a margin of 44% to 30%, while Republicans and Democrats line up solidly behind their party nominees.
The perception that McCain is better prepared to deal with crisis had been one of his key advantages. And McCain clearly hoped to use the meltdown to transfer that edge onto economic turf (where Obama enjoys other advantages) by repeatedly attacking Obama for supposedly not providing the leadership that McCain has. |
