Poll: Obama easily beats McCain among voters on how they are presenting self as potential president

[book_worm]

Two-thirds (66%) of voters believe Barack Obama is doing an “excellent” or a “good” job of presenting
himself as a potential president. In contrast, voters are less enchanted with John McCain’s efforts, with only 50% of voters saying he is doing an excellent/good job of presenting himself as a potential president.

1. Hmmm, that's an interesting poll question

I don't remember seeing that one before. I guess it's the ol' "who's more presidential" question in disguise. Yes, Obama trounces McLame in this category. Sometimes I look at Barack and think he already IS the president.

2. The sad thing about those results

Is that means that roughly 20% of voters don't want the person they think is the better president to win.

4. Some people are issue voters

Maybe they think that Obama appears more presidential but they're pro-life or something.

3. Actually the 70/30 Obama break is what I expect in November

I am curious as to the polls showing any different.

5. Negative campaigning kicking in against McCain?
