CNN Poll: Obama advantage grows

NASHVILLE, Tennessee (CNN) – A new national poll suggests Barack Obama is widening his edge over John McCain in the race for the White House.

The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll out Monday afternoon suggests that the country's financial crisis, record low approval ratings for President Bush, and a drop in the public's perception of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin all appear to be contributing factors in Obama’s gains among voters.

Fifty-three percent of likely voters questioned in the poll say they are backing Obama for president, with 45 percent supporting McCain. That 8 point edge is double the 4 point margin Obama held in the last CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll, taken in mid-September.

Low approval numbers for the current commander-in-chief may be part of the reason Obama’s fortunes are rising in the latest survey: Only 24 percent of those polled approve of President Bush's job performance, an all-time low for a CNN survey.

4. Now you see why Palin and McCorrupt are so desperate. The end is near

all we need to do is stay focused on the economy and work hard every day and we will have Obama elected as President. Tomorrow McWrinkly will try to attack Obama personally and I hope that Obama squashes him like the dirty insect that McCain is
