Rasmussen:

With the general election campaign season coming soon, voters currently trust John McCain more than Barack Obama on issues of National Security, the War in Iraq, the Economy, and Taxes. Obama is trusted more when it comes to Reducing Government Corruption. The Republican hopeful has a slight lead over the Democratic frontrunner in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

McCain is trusted more by 55% of voters when it comes to National Security issues. Obama is trusted more by just 30% on this point. Just half (51%) of Democrats express more trust in Obama than McCain on national security. Unaffiliated voters prefer McCain by a two-to-one margin.

McCain’s advantage on other issues is far smaller.

On Iraq, McCain has a much smaller advantage—49% trust McCain while 39% prefer Obama. Democrats, by a 61% to 22% margin, prefer Obama. Republicans overwhelmingly prefer McCain (83% to 12%). Unaffiliated voters are more evenly divided—46% prefer McCain while 41% prefer Obama.

When it comes to the economy, 45% prefer McCain while 39% trust Obama more. Unaffiliated voters are evenly divided on this issue. The economy has emerged as the top issue in the early stages of Election 2008. Generically, Democrats are trusted more than Republicans on the economy and several other issues. The Rasmussen Consumer Index has shown that consumer confidence is near the lowest levels of the post-9/11 era.

On taxes, 42% trust McCain, 37% Obama.

When it comes to Reducing Government Corruption, Obama has the advantage. The Democrat is trusted more by 43% of voters while 34% prefer McCain. Among unaffiliated voters, 46% trust Obama, 25% McCain.

    :arrow: When it comes to Reducing Government Corruption, Obama has the advantage.

    If I was drinking something it would have shot out my nostrils and splattered on the computer screen …

    Do you see what a fooking insane contradiction this reasoning is?

    Trust McCain on things that DIRECTLY effect you … But trust Hussein more on something that can NEVER be completely cleaned up … and has little or no effect on you

    But we’ll still vote for that elusive “hope” and “change”, eh?

    I kind of think the national stuff will be taken care of pretty much the same way regardless of who’s in the White House. I just don’t trust BHO’s judgement on international or military affairs.
