ABC/WaPo Poll: Obama Ahead Of McCain
By Eric Kleefeld - May 12, 2008, 11:43PM

A general election of Barack Obama versus John McCain is in many ways a stark contest of experience versus change -- and change is currently winning, according to the new ABC/Washington Post poll:

Obama 51%
McCain 44%

Sample size: 1,122 adults.
Margin of error: ±3%

For poll questions on different character traits, McCain leads on who has better experience (71%-18%) and who has better knowledge of world affairs (65%-24%). But Obama has big majorities on which candidate would bring needed change to Washington (59%-29%), better personality and temperament (56%-32%), better understands people's problems (54%-35%), and has a clearer vision for the future (54%-34%).

4. Grandpa is in trouble. Obama hasn't really started...

campaigning for the GE yet!!

The only thing the Repukes got is calling Obama a Militant Muslim who has been endorsed by Hamas and an anti-seminite.

That's the best they can do???

5. McCain with better knowledge of world affairs?

Maybe if by world affairs they mean what Paris Hilton is up to. But if they mean real world affairs, Sunni-Shia McCain just doesn't cut it.
