Rasmussen: Obama Gets Post-Debate Boost in Voter Trust on All Issues

[LSK]

While the results for the first presidential debate Friday were mixed, voters in surveys this weekend gave a boost in trust to Barack Obama over John McCain on a cross-section of issues.

Obama is now trusted more on all 10 major issues in new Rasmussen Reports national telephone surveys Saturday and Sunday nights. He even has a statistically insignificant one-point lead over McCain in trust on the handling of the war in Iraq. Just two weeks ago, the Republican had an eight-point lead on this issue.

Predictably, 85% of Republicans trust McCain more on Iraq, while 80% of Democrats give the nod to their candidate. But unaffiliated voters trust McCain more by a much narrower 45% to 39% (see full demographic crosstabs).
