McCain Remains Absolutely Anchored Down By Bush: Poll

October 28, 2008 12:04 PM


Poll numbers don't look good for John McCain these days. But the internal dynamics are even worse.

A Pew Research poll released on Tuesday reveals that the Arizona Republican is not only trailing substantially (19 percent) among early voters, but faces political obstacles that seem downright insurmountable. Despite devoting countless airtime and speeches towards distancing himself from George W. Bush, more people today believe McCain would be an extension of the current administration's policies than they did just one week ago. As Pew reports:

"As disapproval of President Bush's job performance has edged upward, fewer voters say that McCain would take the country in a different direction from Bush's. Currently, more voters say McCain would continue Bush's policies than say he would take the country in a different direction (47% to 40%). Just a week ago (Oct. 16-19), voters were divided over whether McCain would continue Bush's policies or not (44% continue, 45% take new direction."

Making matters worse for the Republican ticket, the same-as-Bush perception is getting stronger among the Independent voters that McCain needs to court.

"Independent voters have become substantially more likely to say McCain would continue Bush's policies (37 percent in mid-October, 48% now) than to say he would take the country in a new direction (50% in mid-October, 38% now)."

1. There are some idiots
who do not see the McSame thing as you and I do.

I know that McBush would be a continuation of the same failed policies... But there are an awful lot of dolts who think he is the guy who will keep us all safe from the terriers. Oops...
I mean terrorists.

Maybe it's 'cause where I live, I have met several of these idiotic undecided voters and they just can't make up their pointed little heads.

:crazy:

I am making one of them come over tomorrow so I can waterboard them with the truth. :P
