PRINCETON, NJ (Gallup) -- Barack Obama enjoys a solid advantage over John McCain -- 53% to 39% -- in U.S. public perceptions of which of the two candidates would better handle the economy as president.
The weekend poll shows, additionally, that Obama is preferred over McCain by 12-point margins on the issues of taxes and energy. Obama's lead on these issues is particularly notable because McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin, have strived to capture the political upper hand on both issues. The Democratic nominee has an even bigger advantage on healthcare, on which 61% of Americans say Obama would do the better job, and just 32% name McCain.

“IF you voted for Obama in 2008 to show you weren’t a racist, Vote for someone else in 2012 to show you’re not an Idiot!”
Obama has managed to wreck America’s AAA credit rating, push unemployment higher than the predicted peak and keep it there for two years, and stretch the depression into “the new normal”, and that’s just in the area that was considered his strength? I’m impressed.
“Vote for someone else in 2012 to show you’re not an Idiot!”
A disturbingly large number of idiots voted in the 2008 election. Hopefully a large fraction of them will have the good sense to stay home in 2012, leaving voting to the adults.
