By: RK

I assure you the Obama camp is WORRIED big time! The race will widen SOON!

The latest nationwide survey, begun Friday afternoon after the McCain announcement of Palin as running mate and completed mid-afternoon today, shows McCain/Palin at 47%, compared to 45% support for Obama/Biden.


Obama won 86% support of Democrats and McCain 89% of Republicans in a two-way head-to-head poll question not including the running mates. When Biden and Palin are added to the mix, Obama's Democratic support remains at 86%, while McCain's increases to 92%.

Overall, 52% said the selection of Palin as the GOP vice presidential nominee helps the Republican ticket, compared to 29% who said it hurt. Among independent voters, 52% said it helps, while 26% said it would hurt. Among Republicans, 87% said it would help, and just 3% said it would hurt! Wow!

The interactive survey shows that 22% of those voters who supported Hillary in their primary elections or caucus earlier this year are now supporting McCain.

Among those "value" and "values" voters - Obama is getting walloped by McCain. Winning 62% support from weekly Wal-Mart shoppers, while Obama wins 24% support from these voters.
