Look Out Below!
0 commentsJohn McCain's numbers are in a death race with George W. Bush's falling numbers. Can John get down as far as George before Nov. 4?
If not, it's not for lack of trying.
McCain's campaign is sinking as fast as his old ship did (below).
Here are the campaign's latest numbers. From the latest study of "registered" voters done by Princeton Survey Research Associates for Newsweek magazine:
In just the last two weeks, Barack Obama's percentage lead over John McCain on "who'd do a better job" has increased in every category, except "Energy policy and gas prices," where Obama's still double-digit lead fell by two points, and "Terrorism" which stayed the same.
Here are Obama's current leads over McCain for various factors:The economy and jobs (+23%)
The Iraq war (+2%)
Energy policy and gas prices (+15%)
Terrorism and national security (-10%)
Health care (+28%)
Taxes and government spending (+15%)
Issues like abortion, guns, and same-sex marriage (+10%)
The financial problems on Wall Street and in the housing and mortgage crises (+20%)
This does not bode well for the McCain campaign. Less than two weeks short of the election, and his numbers are sinking further faster. Not good.
Speaking of sinking...
Here is the story of the U.S.S. Oriskany, which is the carrier that McCain flew his Vietnam bombing missions from (until he got himself shot down, of course).
It's now on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, off of Pensacola, FL.
