LA Times/Bloomberg Poll: Obama +12
Posted by KYLE TRYGSTAD | E-Mail This | Permalink | Email Author
In a new L.A. Times/Bloomberg national poll, Obama holds a wide lead over McCain (June 19-23, 1,115 RV, MoE +/- 3%). When Ralph Nader and Libertarian candidate Bob Barr were added to the race, Obama's lead over McCain grew to 48%-33%. The Times reports that Obama's strong numbers stem from respondents believing he could better solve the country's economic problems, and that McCain suffers from an "enthusiasm gap" among conservatives.
