Bush's Third Term

How is Barack's attempt to link McCain to George W. going? Here are some numbers from a new Hotline poll.

Far from being seen as "McBush", the AZ GOPer outperforms 'generic' GOPers across the board. Obama has a 6-pt lead on the question of who'd best handle the economy, but it's nowhere near the 26-pt lead the Dems have over GOPers on the issue.

How about on the war?

Same goes for Iraq. Voters see Dems as best able to handle the war, by 12 pts, but McCain leads Obama on the issue by 8 pts.

How come you don't hear about this is the news?

And what about those ubiquitous (say it with us now) white working-class voters? They too are siding w/ McCain, giving him 51% of their votes. Obama draws just half that number.
