McCain is viewed favorably by 55% and unfavorably by 42%. Obama’s reviews are 52% favorable and 46% unfavorable. For Clinton, those numbers are 47% favorable, 51% unfavorable.

The Electoral College continues to tighten Democrats lead in states with 190 Electoral Votes while the GOP has the advantage in states with 189. When leaners are added, the Democrats lead 243 to 240 – a toss-up. 270 Electoral votes are needed to win.

The economy remains the top issue of Election 2008 but nearly half the country believes the best thing the government can do is get out of the way. At the same time, 47% consider Global Warming a Very Serious problem, but a solid plurality sees a conflict between economic growth and environmental protection.
