Research 2000: Obama Leads in Missouri
A new Research 2000 survey in Missouri finds Sen. Barack Obama leading Sen. John McCain, 48% to 43% with 9% undecided.
Poll Shows Obama Losing Momentum
The latest Newsweek poll shows Sen. Barack Obama leading Sen. John McCain by just 3 percentage points, 44% to 41%. The statistical dead heat is a marked change from last month’s survey, where Obama led McCain by 15 points, 51% to 36%.
“But perhaps most puzzling is how McCain could have gained traction in the past month. To date, direct engagement with Obama has not seemed to favor the GOP nominee. McCain has announced major initiatives on energy and the economy but failed to dominate the conversation on those issues. Last week’s shake-up of the campaign’s senior management did little to halt calls from Republicans for a major overhaul in McCain’s message. Nor did it quell the lingering suspicion among Republicans that 2008 is simply destined to be a Democratic year.”
