Yes it's a national poll not the all important state by state
Obama has moved up some overall
with help from independents switching to him
I find the age and race findings the most interesting;
20% thought McCain was to old
14% will not vote for a black man
There is obviously a bias against the old and to a lessor degree against blacks.
For McCain 20% is a lot of voters are they more republicans or democrats or independents?
For Obama 14% is a lot of voters, are they more republicans or democrats or independents?
