McCain up by 5

By cement mixer | August 20, 2008

John McCain now leads over Obama by 5 percentage points nationally according to the latest Zogby poll. This erases Obama’s solid 7-point lead he held in July.

Other numbers worthy of note are:

Obama’s support among Democrats fell 9 percentage points this month to 74 percent, while McCain has the backing of 81 percent of Republicans.

McCain now has a 9-point edge, 49 percent to 40 percent, over Obama on the critical question of who would be the best manager of the economy — an issue nearly half of voters said was their top concern in the November 4 presidential election.
