Rasmussen reports at Noon Wednesday May 28th that John McCain attracts 47% of the vote nationwide while Barack Obama earns 43%. McCain has been “ahead” by at least two percentage points on four of the last five days. McCain is supported by 83% of Republicans and 43% of unaffiliated voters. Obama earns the vote from 70% of Democrats and 40% of unaffiliated voters.

McCain is viewed favorably by 50% of voters nationwide and unfavorably by 46%. Obama’s numbers are 48% favorable and 49% unfavorable. If John McCain is elected President, 61% of voters say it’s at least somewhat likely that he will reach across party lines and work effectively with both Republicans and Democrats. Fifty-two percent (52%) say the same will be true if Barack Obama is elected President.

A majority of both men and women think the best economic policy is to reduce regulation and taxes. So do a majority of voters in all age brackets. Democrats continue to want more government interference while Republicans and non-partisan voters want less saying government should just get out of the way.
