Everybody loves Barack
The latest Newsweek poll sees Barack Obama leading 52 percent to 41 percent among registered voters - and leading, or overtaking, John McCain in just about every demographic:
“Obama now leads McCain among both men (54 percent to 40 percent) and women (50 percent to 41 percent). He now wins every age group of voters - including those over 65 years of age, who back him over McCain 49 to 43 percent. Supporters of Hillary Clinton, as many as a fifth of whom had at one point told pollsters they’d support McCain over Obama, now back the Democratic nominee 88 percent to 7 percent.”
The note of caution, however:
“Still, the poll suggests that despite his lead and the extremely favorable conditions for a Democratic candidate, Obama has not yet established himself as the firm choice of swing voters.”
