Obama's Independent Problem?
Posted Sep 25, 2008 at 9:39 AM by Maurice Berger
With Obama's numbers improving in a number of battleground states, the candidate still appears to have a problem with independent voters. Yesterday's NBC/Wall Street Journal survey reports that in this key demographic, McCain
leads Obama by 14%, up 6% from a month earlier. And while voters overall say they identify with
Obama's values and background by a 50%-44% margin, those numbers are essentially
reversed among independents. Obama leads overall in the poll by +2%: 48% to 46%.
