McCain Leads 80-48% On Experience.

According to a new Zogby Poll McCain leads Obama by a 46% to 41% margin, and McCain not only enjoys a five-point edge in a two-way race against Obama, but also in a four-way contest including liberal independent candidate Ralph Nader and Libertarian Bob Barr, the poll reveals. In the four-way contest, McCain wins 44% support, Obama 39%, Barr 3% and Nader 2%.

This latest Reuters/Zogby poll is a dramatic reversal from the identical survey taken last month - in the July 9-13 Reuters/Zogby survey, Obama led McCain, 47% to 40%. In the four-way race last month, Obama held a 10-point lead over McCain.

An LA Times/Bloomberg poll found a dead heat between Obama and McCain. The same poll shows MCain leading 80-48% on having the experience to be President.
