National Poll Released by CBS News/New York Times Poll: Barack Obama 45%, John McCain 39%

Here are the latest results from the CBS News National Polls poll by CBS News/New York Times Poll published on USAElectionPolls.com:

There were 1796 voters polled on 7/7-14.

Quote:

Democrat Barack Obama now holds a six-point edge over his Republican rival John McCain, leading 45% to 39%. But more voters now than last month are undecided, and more than one in four who express a candidate choice could still change their minds.

Both candidates have weaknesses: Voters are more likely now than a month ago to view Obama and McCain as pandering, and see both as shifting on issues in order to get elected.

Obama now leads McCain 45% to 39% -- no different than the lead Obama held in early June, as he was securing the delegate support necessary for the nomination. And this month, 12% of voters are undecided as to who they will vote for, double the 6% who said this in June.
